This Time

What has 2008 been about

Was there a brilliant fulfilled purpose

What was accomplished

Men, like to work to goals, the way our mind operates is we like to be able to measure things, to judge the distance we have come, to see the path that we have defeated
and thus the more you defeat, the better the reward.
So For me looking back, i try to see the goals i have reached
but with my memory being what it is, when i require to remember the moments that matter
i scarcely can, i often start these blogs with fire and end with ash.

This year has been one of Challenge, Struggle, Pain, Despair, Love, Failure, Success,
and Reward, Wonderful Wonderful Reward.

This year was one of Change, and in that i have learnt to rely upon my Lord, and seek him first in all situations a craft i haven't perfected but a battle i fight daily.
I have learnt the blows that really cut, and the ones that are superficial scrapes
and as such am now able to assess a situation and see which category it fits into
which then helps me to deal with them.

I have learnt self pitty accomplishes nothing, when each day should glorify our LORD GOD, why sit and despair when it does nothing to Glorify God

I have learnt the hearts of others are ancient things, and take as much time to heal as to open.

I have learnt my Lord is so much more than i can Grasp, he is a fearsome lord, who i wish to serve.

i lost alot, and have gained more than i can hold.
My personal relationship with God has developed into something more... mature, learning to constantly reference him, in all things praise him
and making that a reality
to follow him in the hard times.

I think like all things this year had a purpose, but the God i serve dosent work to my calendar, and i have seen purposes fulfilled this year, but i believe my God has more in store for me, than yearly success, for his is a power stretching beyond time.

wow =) arnie told me to write a speech on why 2008 was the best year of my life and speak to morning church this week, and even though each person has a different experience, I can actually familiarize mine with yours. I've had like, a writers block and I can't think of anything to put to paper. This blog is actually God sent in helping me get somewhere, so thanks Trent :D
