Adios 2013!
2014: Unfolding of New Beginnings
With the
changing of calendars and the flooding of new year posts and messages, it was
once again proven how time swiftly flies. Once again, another year has just
passed and we bid goodbye to the year that was- 2013. Saying farewell to 2013
surely brought mixed emotions within everyone, for surely, there are both good
and bad memories that we will remember when we think of 2013. Nevertheless, as
we want to welcome 2014 with optimism and cheerfulness, we bring with us happy
memories and simply learn from the bad ones.
Indeed, I will
never forget my year 2013- marking the 23rd year of my existence and
my fourth year of stay in the school where I am currently employed. There are a
lot of major life decisions which I have to make- some which are painstaking,
yet had to be done for liberating oneself. I thank God that He is always with
me in every undertaking. There were times when I was about to give up, let
loose, and question him why things always do not go the way I want them to be.
But at the end of the day, He held on me tighter, whispering that His ways and
plans are ALWAYS for the best. So I am
grateful for all the adversities which came my way, for my character is
strengthened than ever.
Allow me to look
back at the year that was, and journey once again to my ever memorable 2013,
which I shall call: the year of taking chances. J

Welcome 2014! I cooked

Thank you for
being with me during 2013. And I do hope, that you will stay with me in the
years to come. Let’s all pray for God’s blessings this 2014, and that we
continue to keep the faith in our hearts, despite all the trials and tests of
time, we remain fervent in our prayers. Surely, there may be times when we are
about to give up, but it is when we are at the bottom of the pit when we learn
to keep our feet stronghold, and when we unleash the courage hiding in the
corners of our heart. May all our heart’s desires come true this 2014, because
whatever it is that we ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it, and
it will be given to you!
It is the
dawning of a new beginning! Welcome 2014! J It’s the year to fly and soar greater heights!
….that in all
things may God be glorified! J
