Hello people,

   I have to say that 2009 was some year, but can't you believe that the whole decade has just flew by! I know it is a sign of getting older, when you can remember things vividly ten years ago and what I had dreamed about or thought about my future then, is never what I have expected now. But each day is a blessing and I have to make the best out of it.
   I hope all of you had a good year as well, many the testing of your faith. I know my faith has been tested and I am still waiting on the  Lord for some things.  But overall, I learnt the most important thing this year, the Lord is always there no matter what if you plan to follow Him or not.  I went through a slew of emotions this year, mainly frustration. It was not so much financially, but I was upset at God. I was upset because He didn't give me what I want when I wanted it.      Yet, as each day rolls into one another, I realize that God is right about one thing. That I am not ready and I should wait in anticipation. For example, I am waiting to get the job of my dreams, but in the meantime, I got to acquire the skills and confidence needed for the job. Each time  I send out a resume for a prospect job, I know I am learning a little bit each day.
      Other than job prospects, I also learnt a lot about people. Yes, people. As for my brothers and sisters in Christ, we got to realize that we are not perfect. If we were, there would be no need to depend on one another. But sometimes we act perfect. Like the other day, I realized, that right now in the season that I am currently in right now, I really have one true friend outside of family. And I mean a real loving brother in Christ. He's always been there and we talk about God together, truthfully. I also have a sweet sister in Christ as my friend, and we have been able to share lots of stories as well. But as for everyone else, they are merely acquaintances. I am still getting to know a lot of them, even though it has been years we have met. You know, as with any relationship, if you want it to be fruitful, both parties must put some work in to make it work. As a friend, calling me once a year isn't going to make the friendship, it'll be barely surviving.
   Anyways, my darlings, I hope you have a beautiful day and wish the best of the year ahead. But every day is a new year and I pray that all of your needs are met in the name of Jesus.

Love and peace,
