Cheers, 2007!

Two Zero Zero Seven! We have come to the very last of you, and it's time to move on to 2008!

Through the hours of the year, you've been a companion with me through the following times:

January - March: Spring was a time which taught me the expectations in friendships. It taught me when to say certain things, and when not to, when to pursue something, and when to give up, when to be stubborn, and when to be relenting, when to cry and when to save those tears.

April - June: Summer taught me the focus of my career. The importance of speaking up for your fellow comrades, the importance of watching your own back, whilst still keeping the integrity of what God has always instituted in love. It brought me challenges and milestones that were created in the course of my work.

July - September: Autumn taught me the harshness and bitterness of life, that can sap our souls if we are not careful. The importance of guarding our hearts above all else. It also taught me how to lead, to learn, to laugh and overcome greater challenges in the entwinement of emotions and goals.

October - December: Winter taught me to strengthen the ties that matter. Family, close friends and acquaintances. It brought me the reunion of friends from afar. It also allowed me to experience the immense joy of seeing someone who is dear come to cross the line of salvation, and another who had never liked to attend service come to attend the Christmas service.

Lastly, to end off 31 December 2007. This is to God:

My greatest companion, confidante, counsellor, closest and most intimate friend. Thank you for your watching me every step of the way, giving me the inner strength to smile at the storms, to laugh at the mistakes, and the vitamin booster to keep going to pursue the purpose that you have instituted for me. Without you, there wouldn't be a fruitful 2007, kudos to you God! Cheers, on giving me a memorable 2007, and continuing on the journey with me to 2008!
