DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW
THE UNCERTAINTIES OF TOMORROW 

Graduated from the University of Bradford on 5th December 2014, I faced many uncertainties as I looked to the year 2015. How will I deal with leaving the friends I have made in my time in England? Will I find a job? What would my life be like? What would my friends and family think of me after all these years of schooling and nothing to show? Moreover, how will I explain to them that the man I had been in a relationship with ended it a broadly without an explanation?   These were essential questions, which had no answers at the beginning of the year 2015. These questions did not stop me from knowing God was in control. The first sermon of the year on January 4, focused on reflection of one’s heart and forgiveness of wrongs done to you in 2014. The simple task was for us to write down all the wrongs done in 2014, and lay them before God. When the task finished, I walked home a different person. When the door closed behind me, tears of pain flowed, as I sought to know what I had done wrong in my relationship, which ended 10 months earlier. I had thought I had forgiven him, but it turned out on that Sunday that I had not truly faced my fears. Once I gave that to God, he opened my eyes in a new way.

BLESSINGS
HE IS IN CONTROL

He became one of the first blessings of the year for me. We both confronted our feelings for each other within the few days I had left in England.  Both of us had promised to let the other know how we felt, before we separated and none of us had knowledge of this solemn promise. To confirm God’s leading hand, I visited his parents in France over the summer and we are now waiting to welcome him in my motherland.
On this last day of the year 2015, I just want to thank God for taking away my tears.

Back in Cameroon and so much to do concerning work, I tutored at RFIS for 4 months and gained some teaching experience. Who would have known that God had been preparing me to be a teacher for a while? After my summer vacation, I got a part-time job as an English teacher with College Technique le Bon Berger. God was in control of this year, wiping away my worries of finding a job. I am now looking for a full time job.

Do not worry about tomorrow, for God is in control of it. Your blessings might not come the way you expect them.

I want to thank God for WhatsApp. It has maintained so many of my relationships with friends and kept us in contact. I give glory to the special offer Nextel has for WhatsApp, where I only pay 500 cfa for 7 days unlimited WhatsApp internet. It is a wonderful blessing.

I praise God for good health for my family members in Cameroon, Switzerland, and Kenya and around the world. He has been keen to our distance and has not laid stress on us to attempt to make trips beyond our means. I now look forward to 2016 with an open mind knowing God does not change
