Looking back at 2011 wasn't all that exciting until the tail end of the year. It really seemed like the longest year ever and yesterday,as I celebrated the new year, it seemed like an ordinary day.
The beginning of the year I was severely depressed, even suicidal; I don't know why I felt like that. Only God knows why he allowed that dark time to happen. I lost my job in April and I've been completely depended on His provisions, grace and mercy. In August, I was accepted to New Hope Christian College in hopes to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of my Heavenly Father.
This first semester has stretched me and I've had the pleasure of going thru a deeper level with Him. I've never done as well in school as I have at NHCC. For the first time in my academic career, I received 3 A's and one B. I was shooting for the straight A's but I failed to do the best I could in my Character Formation class. I hope this sets the bar as far as grades are concerned. The lessons I've learned and I know I will continue to learn are the most valueable. I had a chance to Critically Think past superficial topics, write my fairy tale in my Art of Story class, really understand the heart and art of true worship, and know that it's a continual process to form my character using the mind of Christ as an example.
For the upcoming year, scholastically I strive obtain straight A's; to continue to cultivate relationships in school, church, friends, and the new people I will meet this year; and continue to depend on His ways in everything I do. This can only happen through continual prayers and fasting. In Jesus Name, here's to an outstanding 2012!!!!
