As I reflect on my second year, I'm grateful for God's mercy. His love has been my rock, guiding me through Life's challenges. I'm grateful for His grace, which has carried me when I felt weak.

It sure was His grace, I wrote a very hard exam and still passed by His Grace, my colleagues waited for 3 years to get to year 2 but I used 6 months and we're got there together. So many other situation did I move by and got to by His Grace.

Sometimes I wonder, am I worth it? What makes me different from others? I worry about disappointing those who believe in me and fear failure. 

I've struggled to open up, carrying burdens alone. I'd put on a happy face, scared to share my feelings with anyone. 

Who would understand me? Would they just criticize me expecting perfection?

When it got too much, I'd find a quiet place to cry out to Abba, sharing every fear, every doubt, and he'd calm my storms, reminding me of His presence.

Last year, I met remarkable individuals who has impacted my life in unique ways. Some gave me guidance, some encouragement, and some, unconditional friendship. I'm grateful for each person who's crossed my path.

I've learned, unlearned, and relearned. Though the journey is far from over, I'm still learning, growing and trusting.

God's word remains my anchor. 

His word says "Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness." (Isaiah 41:10). I hold on to His word, finding strength in His love.

Thank you, Lord, for Your love and mercy. I pray that my life will bring honor to You. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
