The beginning of a new year is always a moment of overwhelming joy and happiness just as everyone is preparing to raise the crescendos of their high spirit for the in-coming year right now.
Spirituality is always the front burner that many of us rely upon once a new year surfaced.
As 2020 started,many of us were in expectations of many demands in every facet of our life until the strange happenings that made 2020 a special year to remember splashed on our faces.
The pandemic trigger lockdown and the confusion in the land covered the entire human existence.No area of humanity was left untouched by the pandemic.It was a global occurrence that no one can deny the seriousness that it came with.
In the midst of it all,I can say with all confidence,that I and my family were exempted.
As the pandemic was on in the month of April observing fasting and prayer,one of my prayer request is that God should make my habitation a Goshen and when I looked around right now,no single strand of hair fall apart.
No single moment in the hospital.
Our going to the hospital is an addition as a boy was added to us.
No single moment of body pain and headache.While many were gnashing their teeth,crying and murmuring,our have been Thanksgiving and all around praises.
One of the surprises I couldn’t fathom right now is that whenever I want to pray,I always notice that I have no pressing need to ask God for anything but I always maintain a statement that is too simple and strange to me.
“Thank you Jesus” has been my line of prayer because I realised that Thanksgiving covers multitude of prayer request.
In the midst of the year,I had near occurrences of shedding tears considering the numbers of young minds and old minds that fell off in the battle ground of life.I prayed that God will uphold their families and give them the fortitude to stand in this trying moment.
I will not stop this write up without expressing my gratitude to everyone that crossed my path this year.
Some people came as an experience and others came as a lesson but everyone has made a mark in the test of time contributing immensely to my existence in the course of the year.
Ahead of us is the new year,and what is expected of us is the newness that will profess, expect and express in one way or the other.
The only way 2021 can be new is when you and I decide to ensure that we become new in whatever we do in the course of the year.
Instead of quantum of new year resolutions,filled your mind with quantum of new year projection.
To cap it all,I am grateful and appreciative for a time like this.
Happy New year in advance.
Deo Gratias!!!
