Hopes & Dreams
Today, I made Strawberry Jam Filled Muffins and Cheescake Cookies at 12am while blasting happy music from my laptop.
Didn't follow the recipes down to the exact details, but everything turned out beautifully and I am glad.
There is a certainty to baking that I relish.
A certainty that when I combine flour, butter, sugar, eggs and milk, I will get cake batter.
A certainty that whenever something calls for cinnamon, vanilla, or both, good things are about to happen.
The past couple of months have been besieged by a lack of certainty that has left me in varying degrees on worry, anxiety and stress.
I can't wait for university to start and this state of limbo to be over.
One thing that I've learnt from this is that as much as I'd like to believe, I am not at the driving seat of my life.
But one thing I have control of is how I make use of my options now and play my cards according to the hand that has been dealt.
8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:8-9
Whatever happens, I'm going to choose to be happy.
