New Year, New Beginnings...

My first entry in the new year - I anticipate, the inevitable, supernatural intervention of God in my life in 2008, I expect a miracle...

2007 had its ups and downs, the most significant ones being situations in which I never even dreamt I would find myself. The year started off with me crying to God for a job, and praying steadfastly for a particular position. At that point in time, I would have made any sacrifice to get that job. God proved himself faithful.

Shortly after, I found myself being thrown from one emotional turmoil into another, and this rollercoaster ride eventually ended in August when I decided to step off the ride. I can easily and proudly say, it was the best decision I made for myself last year. Now, it's one thing to sever certain ties, it's another thing to forgive the people involved, or forget the circumstances that surround you. I can confidently say, this same God that brought me to it, brought me through it. I went on a lot of trips last year, and my most memorable was the one I made towards the end of the year, as it gave me closure. I got to see people in a different light, and was able to understand their position and mine properly. Like I said to each and every one of them: No experience in life is wasted! Everything we go through, is for a reason. There's a lesson we are meant to learn from each situation, and until that lesson is learnt, we can't move on. I've made my peace, and I wish for everyone,that they will find their own place of peace.

The holidays were interesting. I was involved in two motoring accidents within 3 days. One of which left me with a serious case of whiplash. Considering the amount of trips I'd made to the hospital last year, and the kind of reports I'd heard, I was determined NOT to go in there, and I'm happy to tell you that I felt much, much better within days -many thanks to my younger brother's healing hands and faith! Oh, I also managed to dent my car in a few places, and messed up the wheel alignment, lost a wheel rim... through it all, NO ONE sustained any injuries whatsoever... if that's not God, then I don't know! I believe that there are a few angels specially assigned to my care, and it's a thing of great joy to know, I tell you.

Days later, I headed out of the country on a much deserved break, and arrived yesterday. I was on some sort of natural high, and had every intention of going straight to my desk at work! By the time I got home, showered and got dressed, I just felt the need to relax... Although I didn't quite manage to sleep, I just couldn't get out of bed. I eventually drifted off to sleep around 1am, and when I woke up today, I mean consciously looked at the clock, it was 3.15pm! I slept through 3 alarms and at least 5 phone calls. I can't even begin to describe the embarrassment. I've got to find a way to appease my boss now...!

For now, this is where I sign off. I will tell you all about my happy holidays over the next few days. I wish you all a fulfilling year 2008, may you be all that God wants you to be this year, amen!
