On to the Next chapter /Journey to Graduation 2015

 
 

Sitting here waiting to board the plane for home. I cannot help but tell of how faithful my God has been. Prior to graduation season, there were so many needs that arose that it could have been overwhelming but as they arose I continued to focus on him and he met them all and exceeded my expectations.. From booking train and plane tickets to making hotel reservations, to figuring out tourist attractions and factoring in particular places everyone wanted to see ,it was  definitely one interesting journey. Gradually my family members arrived .I mean I expected some of them to show up but I was definitely overwhelmed with so much joy when I found out just how many of them were coming.I'm telling you when he chooses to honour himself in your life even when you do not deserve it, he will. Gush! He is crazy faithful. I thought to share some of the photos with you all hope you enjoy it   I remembered that I serve the God in whom a cattle on a thousand hills is his.
We were in London for a few days and then we caught the train to Dundee.


 


 

London King Cross station
God knows I had taken that trip from London Kings cross to Dundee  a couple of times but family just brought a whole different twist to it .We shared jokes, created new memories , slept ,walked from cabin to cabin (upon grandmas advice not sit on the same spot for too long) here are a couple of photos from the train ride .


Arriving Dundee
It was quite late and chilly when we arrived Dundee. We had a late dinner and headed to bed. However, the next day was sunny and gorgeous so we opted to explore the law hill, broughty ferry and over gate. We were so favoured to have gotten a taxi driver who took us to these locations without really asking for much money. I was so glad my mum and grandma got to experience it too. They were a little tired when we arrived the castle and decided  to remain in the taxi. Thankfully, the sweet taxi driver took them on a ride along the beach which they thoroughly enjoyed. It was a fun day overall. However we had to call it a night early as we had  to prepare for the D day .

 
 

 
The Morning Of /Graduation day

       
  The Day was  here. After weeks of planning, trying to get extra tickets for the ceremony, booking train and plane tickets to making hotel reservations, It was all leading up to this day and it was finally here. I had chosen not to lodge with my family in their suite the previous night thus I slept in my hostel one last time as a Current Student of University of Dundee. As I woke up that morning .It dawned on me .It was finally here. My heart was filled with so much gratitude and I found myself playing and singing "champion" by Tye Tribett as I got ready for the ceremony. It captured every single bit of my emotions  at the time.  And as the tears of joy rolled down my cheeks my heart was so full with thanks .My God had shown himself strong on my behalf not because I deserved it nor because I am the smartest but because of his mercy and unfailing love. He was my anchor that held so strong throughout my time in Dundee. He was always and continues to always be there for me .Uh! What a beautiful time of worship it was. I quickly got ready  met up with my family at the location. Took a couple of pictures prior to the ceremony and then I finally took my sit a couple of minutes before ten. It was a beautiful ceremony concise yet impactful.



The ceremony ended at 11; 50 we took some more photos before we finally  got some lunch and returned to the hotel but  the day was far from over yet .  My aunts had a train to catch to meet up with the flight for graduation number 2 in Ukraine the next day so off to the train station we went.

After the hussle and buzzle of trying to make it to the train station,  The rest of us had lunch and we  took some photos close to one of my favourite spots in Dundee I loved sitting there after church service to have my one on one time right after church or just go them sometime during the week. I’m going to miss it so much. The days progressed and gradually everyone went back to their various locations.
 My mum and  brother stayed behind to help in packing my stuff . The time came  to get all my  stuff together so we could leave. It was so difficult packing all my books and stuff but no one likes to leave their comfort zone. It was time to move on to the next phase and we successfully packed all my stuff .So now I am sitting in the airport not quite certain about what exactly the future holds but it is ok. I have Jesus in my boat. He commands my Destiny.
With that said, here are some more photos from our family trip to Scotland for the graduation

Thank you for reading
I had to share this with you all so you know what I had been up to in June.
