The Begining of a Long Journey

Hi my name is Lydia I am but a humble 20 year old. Attending The Honor Academy. Like all stories this one begins with a dream...

For the longest time I have not known what to do with my life.
I still don't fully know.
But God has called me to attend the Honor Academy.
I stumbled for a time and denied my calling but he planned it for me all along.
For the longest time whenever I heard of the HA I felt his pushing.
I've denied it and regretted it.
I've been empty for a time when I turned from my father, my Lord Jesus Christ, to satisfy my own soul.
But nothing could satisfy this thirst inside me.
Then he called me back and I came like the prodigal's son.

Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

(Luke 15:32, KJV)

Now I am following his will in my life.

His voice runs deep in my life and I shall follow him the rest of my days.
Call me crazy call me foolish.
But I'd rather follow someone who loves me then one who would destroy me.

So the next time I heard him saying to come to the Honor Academy.
I took a leap of Faith and despite the odds of being accepted in November only 2 months before the internship and having to earn 2,400.00 for tuition I made it because as I told my parents
"If is God's will for me to come in January he will make a way for me to come in January."
And I prayed and believed for this.
FAITH works my friends.
It is our foundation in our belief in Christ.
But it is also what moves mountains and brings around the impossible despite what others think.
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain for what we do not see. - (Hebrews 11:1)

And now I am here.

And this humble blog is a testimony to the long Journey I am coming in to here at the Honor Academy.
In Garden Valley, Texas so far away from my home.
ABOUT THE HONOR ACADEMY (aka HA):
The HA is not just a pre college thing. It is a place where young adults can go and figure out exactly what they're calling is. Grow deeper in the Lord. Learn many things that will help us succeed in life.
