I haven’t really planned out this blog today. I guess we’ll see where it goes.

2022. What a jam packed year it has been for me (minus the past three months). I have done so many different things this year, worked with different people, moved back home, made friends for life, experienced things I would never have if I had not have took the gap year.

I have grown a lot over 2022, not in height unfortunately. I have grown spiritually, mentally and emotionally. I learnt a lot about myself this year, I started to get help again after to many years of struggling with my mental health.

Over 2022, I have laughed a lot, cried a lot and prayed a lot. I have prayed and prayed, more then I have in the years of being a Christian. Some prayers I prayed more then others and I haven’t had a big sign in the sky to say it has been answered.

Leaving 2022 I still have many unanswered questions, unanswered prayers and I guess I am ok with that. For God’s timing is always perfect. My favourite Bible verse this year has been Ecclesiastes 3:11

“He has made everything appropriate in its time.”

Looking back I can see his timing being exactly what is needed, he knows these things and he knows way more then we do. I think my gap year was perfect for me at this point of my life. I know its only been a few months since I finished the year but, it really does feel like a lifetime ago…

Going into this next year, I hope to grow in my faith. I hope to be employed. I hope to be able to pull together a really wonderful hen do (stressed just thinking about it!) I hope for good health.

2022. A year of Friendship, Laughter & Tears.
