Ready as I'll ever be!

Something has prompted me to start blogging again... maybe people blogging around me, or maybe the recent enjoyment and reflections of reading back over some of my old blog posts, either way here I am.
I figured this year is going to a big year as far as life events go and wanted somewhere to record it. So this blog is being started primarily for my own benefit, and if other people enjoy having a glimpse into my life then that's a bonus :)

In a year from now I will be in a very different place, (as long as things go to plan) I will be married, working as a children's nurse, living in a new city and going to a new church. Before I get to that point though a wedding will need to be planned and enjoyed, I'll need to finish a multitude of assignments, complete my final placement, be signed off as a qualified nurse and find a job, find a new place to live, settle into a new church and city, alongside leading Promiseland (Children's group at church) and being a cell group leader, as well as finding time for relaxing, and enjoying the company of friends and family.

Overwhelmed - maybe, excited - yes!

I do feel a little anxious by what the coming year holds, there's some big life things in there! But I am also excited by the changes and challenges. Some of them I may not feel ready for, sometimes I may want to run away but overall I'm willing to embrace these next steps. I know I've got a good support of family and friends around me, (including PJ - my fiancé and best friend) and I've got my God. A God who won't give me more than I can handle, a God who loves me and protects me and a God who has planned my life more perfectly than I could imagine. So I know it's gunna be alright!

So hopefully this blog will capture this crazy year (and beyond), so that I can look back on it with happy memories and be proud of what I've achieved.
