Well, Happy New Year!
Yeah, yeah yeah, I know, I’m late! And? Better late than not, right? … LOL
Hope your Christmas and New Years celebrations went well? … No drama, no issues, no money. Yeah, this Christmas was pretty lean for many of us, if not all cause the economy sucked! I tell ya, 2009 wasn’t all that pretty, not only on the home front, but globally. I mean it really sucked! Needless to say, it was pretty scary! If I were to label 2009, I would say that it was a year in which we saw how greed can just about do us all in.
As for me, the first two quarters of last year was pure hell! I have to say that I was tested to the very core of my being. It took every ounce of energy I had to survive. I tell ya, it was rough … emotionally, physically and spiritually r-o-u-g-h! There were times when I was one day short of literally loosing my sanity. And many times over I was brought to my knees where I literally fought for my survival. To be sure, I walked through some mighty dark and lonely valleys where at times the journey would have been sweeter to end than endure.
Yes, 2009 was a soul searching journey that was all to humbling. Though I came through it I have to give credit where credit is due cause it wasn’t solely on my own merits that I persevered.
Had it not been for Divine intervention, that’s right, God’s intervention in unison with my brother and buddy Steven, my sister Mary, Step-mom Yoshiko, and best friends Robyn, Lou, and Georgie, I would have lost. It took a small army to see me through! And I’m happy to say that the final quarter of 2009 ended in a season of thanksgiving and joyful celebration, cause almost two years to the day of total uncertainty I was able to say AMEN with conviction for the first time. Therefore, to all who journeyed alongside me and were standing with me at the finish line, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Second to God, you are my heroes!
I am happy to say that I am on the road to recovery. It’s not going to be easy and it will take a lot of work to get myself back on track. But one thing I am certain of … I’m going to be okay. Because through it all I’ve learned to trust in Jesus, and I know without a doubt that my buddy and friends have my back.
Well, though I’m a bit late, okay totally late … lol, I really and truly hope that you will have a happy and prosperous new year … that life will be kind to you in every way. Yes, we all are going to have some dark and lonely valleys to travel … that’s a given, specially in this life. However, take it from me, God is there with you. It may seem like He ain’t, but honey let me tell ya, no matter where you are or who you are in life, He is there! So, enjoy, grow and be happy. And always remember that God loves ya and so do I.
Until Tomorrow ...
