Faretheewell (do justly)

I want to start with by letting you know that i am a master in the kitchen, thats not being arogant just honest appraisal. I just got back in the kitchen for the first time since exams and realise how amazing it is to create something in the kitchen.

As I sit here writing this I am legit holding back the tears from a song called Faretheewell, I am challenged by how God can simply mess me up regardless of the place and time. As i look at the title of this song it warms my heart, probably only because i am leaving highschool forever this week.

As I look back at my highschool life I am actually amazed at how much i have grown, from a little boy with the ability to turn any situation into the most awkward place you could ever be. Not knowing how to talk to people and having the biggest bag in creation (Oh Mercury Bag). I met Jesus in my year nine year, and started to pop into what God had for me. My year ten year was amazing, simply loving life and actually making some friends, starting to step up into the man i am now, it was fairly uneventful however i had to say good bye to some amazing people who like every Africaans family decided to move to Australia. Year 11 for me was insane, with the arrival of Andy Gale i began to be able to talk to people, not really that well. Year 11 for me was one of the hardest years of my life, I was told that my father had 6 months to live. Year 12 was the hardest year but easily one of the best years of my life, with the loss of my Father but growing so much in God, making new Friends, growing tighter with the right sort of people, taking what felt like leaps toward what God wanted me to do. As i look back on the current year, as i leave high school and step into what God has called me for, i have by far had the best year of my life, running a christian group an seeing it more than triple, seeing over 300 decisions for Jesus in a highschool, this has been a year that i have grown into a family, making new friends and living life in what God has for me.

I didnt really want this to be a serious blog but thats how it ended up. I want to say Faretheewell Tawa College you have served me well, i have served you well. Its funny how we get so attached to things, as people the hardest thing is letting go, sometimes its easy but to say goodbye to highschool, its so weird.
I honestly cant wait to get to where God has called me to be. So pumped!
