DECEMBERS are best

I’ve always loved December. However it also flies by very quickly. Just thinking about how Decembers are always filled with so much to do and prep for the celebrations and New Year that’s around the corner.

The past three weeks has been the most intense weeks of my 2017. Back to back there planning retreats, youth conference and youth camp. All building up and leading towards the nineteenth of December, Christmas and the New Year.

A lot had happened and a lot of pieces started making sense. Growing up as a second generation Christian has it’s own set of challenges and with each celebration of my birthday it’s become a habit and tradition to reflect and renew my directions. Last year I started twenty four with faith, and as I was journaling I realized it took faith to position my heart in the right place. Setting my mind to be focused that #morethanthis and “I’m getting there”. Also having to cling on and mark the very moment I received Christ as my Lord and Savior. As young as I was, it was strange to have certain memories deeply ingrained such that whenever I close my eyes I can still recall the very moment. Like the day I went up for altar call and accepted Jesus as my God in a kids bootcamp. Having no idea on what it meant then, but with the faith of a mustard seed and a child the grand invitation presented to me I accepted.

Now, after twenty four cycles around the sun and today starting out my twenty fifth, I believe #twentyfive would be continuing on #beginning24′s writing journey. Keeping this in mind it’s not about telling people about my age but about marking a significant point in my life. Maybe this post doesnt offer much but putting one step in front of the other and keep on moving forward I look forward to new seasons.

I’m also honored and blessed to know that starting of my 25th cycle around the sun which also marks a new journey with a special someone. That itself is another testimony for another day. My family and my church fam and YL fam have been extremely important people who journeyed with me through the past twenty-four years. I was always convinced this faith race should never be run alone. We need each other. Having people you can lean on and fall back on shapes and makes you. Rubbing shoulders with one another is tough sometimes but it’s also very rewarding in the end. Excited for the days ahead.

“ Heavenly Father, continue use me to impact lives especially the next generation. Enlarge my tents and open up doors for me to be placed effectively and strategically in Your plans. I commit myself again to You and my desire is to follow You whole heartedly. Teach me to be humble as I grow. Let me seek the best in others and help me be a radically aligned disciple and nurturer in the coming days so that I won’t lose track of myself but rather be focused on You. Thank You for family, friends and families. Thank You for Your grace and mercy that You would choose me for such a time as this. In Jesus name, Amen.”
