So there are only 2 more days in the year 2011! It's always such an exciting time. It's like you have permission to officially restart your life. A new year somehow makes you feel less like a failure when the old one ends. I am looking forward to something different. I would like to live each day of 2012 like its a new start to my life; because it truly is. Any day that I get to wake up is a new start that God has so graciously granted me. I need to remember that and enjoy my life warts and all. If I truly believe that God is in control, (and I do); I have to realize that resistance is futile. I am going back to being my laid back self, just letting life do what it's going to do and being grateful for everything that comes. I will no longer allow others to ruffle my feathers or put undo stress on me. SMH Enough already I'm getting of the gerbil's wheel; first because I'm exhausted and second because I don't even have a wheel people keep pulling me onto theirs. Just say no Aiisha, just say no! I am free, free to be whoever God has purposed me to be. No longer will I fight and struggle to find that person. I will allow my footsteps to lead me on this faith walk called my life. I will not allow the opinions of others to convince me that I am more flawed than the next person. As I learn more about the God that I serve I learn more about myself. Loving HIM says that I love ME as I am. If I have learned anything about people it is that you can introduce new information or thoughts to them but you can't force them to live in your personal truth. I will live in the truth that God reveals to me looking forward to growth that HE alone can supply.
Doing things differently in 2012!!
