read between the lines
ain't God awesome? i spent the last few minutes of 2009 on my knees as a symbol of my intended posture to god for the coming year. the next day, i was on my knees -- literally. food poisoning for a week: and all i had was a burger and a vanilla soufflé. dang that soufflé.good thing i wasn't sick on the eve; did the usual reflections on the past year and all. am happy to say that i really surprised myself last year in terms of personal progress and chalked up a substantial number of firsts -- always a booster for me ('cos who likes a boring mundane life anyway?). the summation of my reflection was this: i got a better job, and that gradually paved the way for a better life, resulting in better circumstances and a subsequently better disposition. and i know for sure i didn't get the job, or its benefits, from my own efforts. i mean sure it wasn't all hunky dory and stars in my eyes and dancing in the streets everyday (clearly i seem to be influenced by too many musicals), but to me, there was a marked difference in where i was at last year compared to the year before. so kudos and amen to God for helping me break through some of my personal barriers. truly, truly, it was my year (of the ox). |
