It seems like just yesterday when i was walking to school with my Jansport branded backpack and my slingback sandals. Hurrying to be in time for the morning assembly and to avoid punishment. Entering senior high school for the first time remains a fresh memory. I can smell the strange new environs and taste the many tears i shed for days spent without family and months of endless torment by unruly senior students.
I recall never ending lessons and the joy in making good friends and also the bad ones that sting like bees. Surprisingly today I find myself in 2011 on its second day and I can only look around in awe. I gaze about me in bewilderment that i actually made it this far. The years are running by at a very fast rate and sometimes I wonder where we are when its moving. As i made new year resolutions I was careful cuz i didn't want to end up breaking them. Whats the use of a resolution if you cannot stick to it?
Year in and year out i thank God for bringing me to a new year, for life abundant and i pray with great aspirations for the new year. Its an unspoken ritual. This year as the clock struck 12 in church I thanked God first of all that i was in no place but his house and I knew this years prayer was no meaningless ritual. I knew the year was going to be a rich one in which everything I touch will have meaning and in which I can fully discover my being.
At the end of this year i know God will have prevailed in all spheres of my life because he didn't bring me this far without reason. I look forward to greatness without measure. Standing on the 2011 threshold i look in perspective at many years ahead and to inner peace. I look forward to this particular year with immense happiness and gratitude. Ultimately am ecstatic about a closer walk with the Lord. I am indeed blessed and highly favored.
