As my year abroad approaches, there really is an impending dread/fear of relationships weakened as a result of distance. I find myself doubting whether things will work out between Aidan & myself because I don't believe that I am worth the wait. (I know, that ultimately God is in control and things will work out if He wills).
I'm afraid of the loneliness [this was where I proceeded to have a panic attack] I will feel as I long for home and the comforts of friends and family.
I'm afraid of failure in independence and having to rely on cup noodles or pasta because I'm incapable of cooking anything else.
I'm afraid of uncertainty, the unknown.

But why are you so afraid, O you of little faith? 
The Bible says, 'do not fear, for I (God) am with you'. Your good, loving, gracious, heavenly father has set out plans for your future - plans that are best for you because He knows you better than you know yourself. There is no need to be afraid!

A "short" update

By Annie
Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.
