Obstacles

"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." ~Michael Jordan~

Hello everyone!

This is my first time writing to you from here in South-Africa in a year. I am very glad to be back but I miss the USA though. Now that one door closed to the USA another one opened here. I was terrified when I left here, new places to see, new people to meet and adventures to have, all by myself! Now that I am back, I thought that everything would just fall into place, but was I wrong! Now I have to start all over again, new places to see, new people to meet and new adventures to have. Every new path you walk, new hurdles will pop out of nowhere. These challenges you face, whether it’s once in a while or every day, believe it or not, is put there for a reason, insane right? Right! I don’t always believe that especially if the hurdle is really hard to overcome. My obstacle that I have to overcome is starting school again. I have to make new friends, get to know all the lectors, get to know the area and get to know myself again. Everybody says it will be easy but really, it won’t. It feels like I have been pushed out on my own once again, this feeling I experienced a year ago when I left for the USA on my own. I guess if I could handle that on my own, this will be a piece of cheese cake. I pray that the Lord will be with me and everyone else that feel that they can’t handle this new and strange hurdle coming their way, please show us how to handle life and guide us through all the twists and turns. I know that at the end of the storm, peace and tranquility waits for those who take on life with the Lord by their side.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do!!

Good luck to everyone that just started a new job, just started school again or went to school for the first time and remember, for every mountain there is a miracle.

P.S I am super exited to be a part of the Sunday school again as well as the Youth! I know we are going to reach new heights together!

Until next month, toodeloo!!

Lovies lots

Cynthia
