You can have everything you want you just have to actively work to get it – that’s what I keep realizing.
It’s 12 : 15 PM on day 1860 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Acts 5, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature, have breakfast and learn one new thing – When traveling through water, sound moves around four times faster than when it travels through air – have breakfast and hang out with family,
Last night I was thinking about how at the beginning of this year I wanted new experiences and how to a certain extent I had had those new experiences I so desperately wanted I’m so grateful for everything i’ve been able to do so far this year. Take a look at the list of new experiences I’ve had in 2015 (Note: These experiences range from really meaningful to inconsequential).
My New Experiences in 2015 (So Far)
- Raised $5 000+ for the Malala Fund by 3 October 2015 [more than double my original goal] [thanks SO MUCH to everybody who helped out I will be forever grateful]
- Visited Josh Minter, his staff and the kids at UThixo Ulungile Ministries [it was one of the best days of my 24 years of life]
- Played a role in an orange tree being planted in our garden
- Played a role in getting blankets for some people in our housekeeper’s neighbourhood [I’m honoured and privileged to be in a position to serve special thanks to my parents who backed this project]
- Read 9 new books
- Had Tim Tams [ delicious Australian biscuit brought to us by my cousin from Australia]
