Several grants, extra funding, internships and blessings I can only share when the HS gives me the unction.

But behind all the awards and applauds, all any wise person would see is NOT a true reflection of my capacity. I am extremely weak but my advantage and my confidence is and has been by the mercy of God. I found my rest in the Will of God. The truth is in Oxford, I got scared and tired. Struggled to make friends and barely managed to keep my head up. I made really horrible mistakes. I became so anxious, depressed, afraid and tired. I stopped depending.

Over a season of fellowship with God, the HS told me that He had a lot more in store for me from Oxford but I stopped trusting, I stopped depending on Him and relied on my strength and on my will. I am still exhausted - but HE was still so merciful and HE held my hand through it. I cried a lot, fell ill a lot, almost dropped out and beat myself up for silly things but I finished! God’s name be praised!

Making my family grad post but just saying thank you to friends and family who helped, supported and encouraged me! You are all tagged! I love and appreciate you all!
