It took me a while to realise that the year at LST had ended. It was a good few hours after I got home from Graduation that I realised that there are some people that I will not see again for a very, very long time. The oddness has been extended in that I live with a number of graduates now. They are looking for jobs - looking forward to marriage - looking for houses to rent or buy. A number of things that seem a long way off for me as yet. But a year is only 365 days, and then I will have graduated.
And I think it is this realisation that is the most shocking - I have to be thinking about my long term future soon... very soon. My time at LST is nearly over.
There have been some highlights this year:
- Freshers week
- 24/7 Prayer week
- Spending my Easter Vac in India
- Crazy juggling ball wars
- Holidaying in Cornwall over New Year
- Having a lounge
- Successfully passing exams and assignments
- Forming part of the new Student Committee
- Committee Coy Carp
- Committee Weekend Away
- Late night library sessions
- Early morning prayer sessions
- God's faithfulness. Unfailing, unmoving faithfulness.
It's been a good year. It's had challenges and hard times. But the overwhelming impression that I and many others are left with is that it has been a year where God has proven his faithfulness again, and again, and again.
For that, we offer praise.
