Moving on into a new Page

Happy new 2010 to you all.

Wow, we made it! God is indeed a good God.

What a year it's been. So many events, a lot of drama, close calls, heartache but most of all absolutely wonderful times. Quite frankly it's been a hard year but we are not in jail nor 6 feet beneath. We serve an awesome God.

So what does 2010 hold for me?

I learnt a lot of lessons this year which I've inscribed on the tablets of my heart. I've had to follow God with my eyes closed cos looking around made me freeze. I've come to realize that you can never get it wrong with God in the picture, directing the full production of your life. He's the greatest producer of all time!
I'm definitely doing some things differently this new year. I'm getting a life! LOL. I am definitely going to have the time of my life. God gives each new day as a present, that is why it's called the present........I plan to enjoy each one as it comes. God is definitely going to ask me what I did with my life and looking back, am I going to tell him I spent it all at the office...............................NO WAY!!!!!!!!!

There is much joy to be gotten in giving so I intend to give, give and give and still give. Give God my time, Give my family and friends my time, Give gifts to people who never had, Give clothes to the naked, Give food to the hungry, Give hugs to the lonely, Stand in the gap for those oppressed, Give love to those who need it, Give knowledge to the simple, Give attention to those God has placed in my hands.
I know many of us, like me, have prayed to get one or several things from God but going beyond that, I will spend this year giving. It is more blessed to give than to receive.

I am going to give my very best to the projects I initiate. I hope I shall not kill my gym instructor with this new zeal of mine. It's in the plan to learn to swim, I hope I don't drown him first........naughty me.
God will definitely do his part, i must do mine well.

I pray this new year will be a much better year for you in all ramifications of your life.

I've talked about me, what about you?

Well, all I will say to you my friend reading is: IMPROVE THE WORTH OF YOUR LIFE.
Stop planning and start doing. you've had years to plan and fine tune the plans. Now is the time to start moving forward and upward as God will help.

Make God proud of you because after all has been said and done, He matters the most.

Love you and enjoy this blessed new year.

What you really need this Christmas.......

Last time I was here was over a year ago.

We thank the Lord. Just stopped by to share a lil something before I forget. Right now I'm preppin for exams but my brain and eyes have been protesting a bit. Can't really blame them considering the shifts they run.....Office 8-5pm, yahooing 5-9, reading overnight.....They need rest but I just can't afford that now. As if that wasn't enough, the heart wants to join. HECK NO! That small little organ is so powerful that it always gets crowd support from the other guys on duty whenever he starts acting up. Lately Heartie's been moving into all kinda spheres and highs.

So I call my friend to help detoxify my system.....That's what friends are for. To sit and listen to you 'fess' up to whatever gymnastics you got going. The real ones usually knock sense into your head when the story seems too dramatic for comfort and the really great ones are the ones that give you a kung-fu panda kinda sliding tackle......Shout into your head "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?????".....LOL

Seriously, if all your friend ever does is agree with you and pity you, and doesn't "harrass you" then you need to take a serious rain check on going to see such a person. I've come to realise that God always surrounds you with more than enough resources to help you in life and one of the greatest resources available which you must have is a good friend. A very balanced one. Human but knows when to stop you from killing yourself. After talking with Maggie on the phone today, I actually felt much better. My brain and eyes and heart all coordinated and cooperated afterwards. Guess I needed the release of all the pent up stuff within. Why did I call Magg? She's one of my trusted assets and I knew she would deliver. Was praying uncle wasn't close by to compete with me for her time........just kidding!

She's one tough cracker. One minute she's like......gimme gist......the next she's like....YOU BERRA DON'T LET ME HEAR ANY BUTS OOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then in a calmer tone, she seals it....."You just have to postpone all these heart wahala until later.Now is not a good time to deal with it". Sounded funny but that was just what I needed to hear. I'd been trying to resolve matters of the heart weeks before exams...talk about skewed priorities. So I had a meeting with myself...."Heartie, I will listen to all you have to say:protests,likes and wants....but can we do that next week..Please!!!"....Be at peace....ok. Thank God.

This Christmas, I challenge you to go get yourself a good friend; that you can trust to take you as you are; that you can trust to tell you the truth even when you don't want to hear it; that you can trust not to shoot you when you unveil the gists; that you can trust not to share those gists with another friend without your consent and most of all a friend you can be assured will pray for and with you always. There is such a friend....That kind is the one that sticks closer than your brother, just like the bible said. If you can't find any, ask Big Pops upstairs to send you a minimum of one. No one was meant to operate as an island. Father has Jesus and Holy Spirit and too many angels to count, why shouldn't you have great friends? Left to me, you'll be needing them up until you are in your rocking chair when you can boast of being together for years.

Cheers!

PS: For all my friends...I LOVE YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR NOT GIVING UP ON ME. You are God's best gifts to my life!
