HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Whoopie!!!! Welcome everyone to a brand new year... The fact that you're alive today is the most awesome testimony. It doesnt matter how the previous year might have been or might have ended. The bare fact that you're still breathing is enough reason to be happy and should tell you that God cares about you. Alot of people passed last year and some even in the early hours of this morning but you're still here. Count yourself blessed.

So at the Watchnight service yesterday, The Vicar in his sermon titled "DOES IT MEAN ITS OVER?" said some things that really hit me and I just thought I should share. He said it was the same way we all started last year, happy , excited about the new year, things running smoothly and all of a sudden things fell apart and its like nothing good can happen again. And u just tell yourself okay theres still hope but the longer it takes you just wanna lose it. . . Whatever the case may be God will show up for you! At HIS OWN appointed time.

In my mind I was like yeah yeah but then He went through some scriptures and my faith kinda came alive again. LOL 2012 was Shit for me! The absolute worst, scrappppps but even with everything I'm thankful, some people had it and even have it worse than i do /did so who am i to complain?? So yeah the scriptures:

NUM 23:19 - "God is not a man that He should lie.... Has He said, and will He not do?"

ISA 30:19 - "... You shall weep no more... He (The Lord) will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; When he hears it, He will answer you"

That second scripture got my attention and even though i still kinda have doubts, just knowing God cares is enough for me.

So, friends I am totally excited about this new year and you should be too. Thank God for where you are and how far He's brought you. Thank Him for the promotion, celebration, favour and truckload of blessings He's gonna give you this year. Thank God that everything that represents a mountain has gone with 2012. Thank Him for all the miracles He's set to perform this year. Just always try to have an attitude of thanks. It really does wonders.

Also try as much as possible to encourage others. You never know how far it cud go. Encourage them with your time, words, resources. However. Just lend a helping hand this year and God will reward you (Job 42:10)  Forgive all those that might have hurt you  (self note to myself as well), Really. Theres no point in holding grudges or keeping malice. Just look at it from this angle: When you pray to God for forgiveness, you expect that He should wipe ur slate clean and He does, so who are you ??? LOL

Well thats all for now folks, my fingers hurt. Have a beautiful year ahead. Cant wait to share testimonies with you.

Much love,
