Sitting by the UQ lake I can't help but feel and overwhelming sense of wonder and joy that this is the journey my life has taken me on so far. A year ago I would have never imagined that I would have the opportunity to be in Australia, sit by this amazing lake, attend this beautiful school and take a class that encourages me me to have this self searching/reflective experience. Opportunities like this remind me how much God has really blessed me in life and how grateful I really am. Watching the birds swim peacefully on the lake and seeing the people relaxing on the benches that surround it really demonstrates to me how special and peaceful this place really is. A university is a place where most people wouldn't expect to find such amazing beauty and have the opportunity to be so close to nature. The lakes here are truly one of the most beautiful places I have seen and I am so grateful I get to take in their nourishing beauty everyday. Reflective/introspective writing has always been a challenge for me so having time to practice it every week will hopefully help me get to know myself on a deeper more personal level than I would have thought possible.
