It's Finally Here

The chanting began with a loud voice as family and loved ones cuddled each other,friends exchanged pleasantries with a hug,and it all went "Happy New Year"!Wow!Just like yesterday,the new year is here with its packages.I have been looking forward to this day and I am sure some of us also.To reckon with,there won't be today if there were no yesterday.Yes,yesterday was quite busy for some of us:like trying to meet up with family responsibilities...,and then plans for the new year with resolutions already made or written,until the cross over service.Now the new year we've all been waiting for is finally here!

Much as we've sang,danced,prayed,spoken into the new year,yet we are still faced with the realities of life.But that shouldn't deter you at all.We live in a faith world(work by faith,and not by sight,even though we see with our eyes)calling forth those things that be not as though they were...In this new year,your mouth(tongue),mind,and heart are strong instruments to achieving anything worthwhile this season.By now,I guess your words,thoughts,and actions should have experienced a new year too(lol).

To start with,what are your plans for the new year?How do you intend to achieve it?What lessons did you gather from the previous year that you want to utilise this new year?What amends are you willing to make this year?How ready and prepared are you for the challenges and successes that accompanies the new year?What are you holding on to that you feel you should let go?

These are questions and more the new year will require you to answer.Making resolutions and writing out your plans both in the present and future is quite welcoming,but sources have shown that it's not all that you write down that has the tendencies of being accomplished.As a matter of fact,give certain persons some time,and they will forget all the resolutions they made.So you see,it's not all about writing them down but following it through untill it is done.Still,it's good to write it down.And as you write it down,make deliberate attempt to follow them through,step by step,even if you end up not achieving them all,but at least,you made efforts.Wake up to the reality on ground!2015 is gone forever,but the new year is finally here!!
