I have been totally M.I.A(missing in action) for months now. I have been juggling life and all the responsibilities that come with it but now that I'm back and hopefully well received, I was hoping we could talk "resolutions" and why they're getting stale.
The starting of this year was different for me. I spent my midnight hour in church. I normally attend mass on the 1st day but not at midnight. There were people standing inside and outside- There were over 1000- No exaggeration. On an ordinary Sunday, the numbers aren't that high and I'm sure part of it has to do with the new start that a new year brings. Its a fresh start and we're all excited to do things right. The closing of the last year showed us all of the things we want more of and lots of the things we want less of in the new year.
2014 was by far the most life changing year for me. I learned many things about myself and I hit profound levels of self definition. I realized that lots of the things that I may have associated as being "me" were labels and I remained no less a person without them.
I also have no solid New years resolution. I much like many other people, forget what it is by that time I've hit the 3rd week in January-If I'm lucky enough to remember for that long. At the starting of 2014 I had a special request that God show me things about my character and give me strength to endure the fire...as that is what gold is tested in. I could feel in my spirit that it was a year of great transition. I just did not know how yet. Now the year is over- I can affirm that God doesn't fail and I stood through my trials like a solider-not without tears and fear but at the end of it all- with the battle won and my head held high.
I have decided that all I do want is to take my life moment by moment, minute by minute and live in the present tense. I do not want to be burdened by the past and the people in it who did not make it to 2015. I don't want to obsess over what is to come either-less I miss the blessings right in front of me. We can only control now. We can speak passionately about the past but it is gone and unless it is destined to resurface, its remains but a memory.
2015 is a spectacular year and I know this because I have claimed it with the authority which is mine to do so. My God given right to profess and create greatness. I encourage all my committed readers to hang in there. I promise there is more on the way. This year will be a more concentrated and interactive year. I promise to cater for those who like long reads and short ones as well.
I pray that you all break through to new levels in your life and come many steps closer to self actualization. I hope that you are blessed with courage and peace to be confident in who you were created to be and you embrace that you have been chosen and set apart for great purpose. Do not shy away and don't be too scared. You are ready for life! and as the fire fills your stomach and bravery ignites in your eyes- throw your head back with courage. Grab those reigns like the warrior you are-(*Ephesians 6:14-17*) and prepare yourself for the beauty that lays ahead in 2015.
If fire awaits us there-it is only a test and like the phoenix we will rise out of the ashes.
Happy New Year!
