leaning on His arms

These past few weeks have been CRAZY. (Hence the lack of blogging, sorry!) It's been the end of my time at Monkton, full of so many goodbyes that will probably hit me at random intervals throughout this next year. I've had all-nighters, fireside guitar, endless surfing, incredible prayer sessions, laughter, dressing up for nice occasions, deep chats - it's been wonderful. And yet all of it has been tinged with a touch of saddness from the knowledge that it's all about to end.

I hate endings. Yet with an ending there is always a new beginning. Already, I'm beginning new endeavours - such as learning to drive, getting a job, forming a prayer quadruplet...being out of school has given me something I didn't expect to feel: freedom. I was so preoccupied with the saddness of it all that I didn't realise I would feel this free.

That brings a verse to mind:
'You, my brothers, have been set free. But do not use your freedom to induldge your sinful nature, instead serve one another in love.' Galations 5 v13

Of course I have a lot of worries and such about next year, mainly because God hasn't revealed what he wants me to do yet! He's closed many of the doors I thought would be open and in doing so has made me realise that I can't do it unless I completely lean on his everlasting arms. So here I am, leaning.

And to accompany this nostalgic, deep and slightly random post are some happy and optimistic shots:

Do you have any endings or even beginnings coming up?
