Bye Bye to 2019!
Hasta La Vi! Give dem!!
Well, lovely people, it’s about that time. *Motormouth Maybelle voice* It’s time wrap this mutha up! Oh, oh, oh! Okay, lemme stop before I get too off track. S/O to all my Hairspray fans
*ahem*
Welcome to the last day of 2019. Look at us, we’re here.
First, let me say that I am so proud of you. Takes a few minutes and do your 2019 reflection. Take out your blessings jar, open up that prayer journal, look through your IG archives. I’ll give you some time.
Look at all the things you’ve accomplished, celebrated, the people you’ve gained/dropped, consider all the times you were worried or anxious about something (do you even remember all of them?) Look at how God stretched you. See how intentional He was about YOUR 2019. Though we all went through it at different times and at different levels of intensity, we are here. Come on and give Him a shout of praise!!
Now when I think about my 2019, all I can say is wow. I honestly can’t believe this is where I am. I can literally remember sitting with my family at the breakfast table talking about what our 2018 was like, and what we want to see in 2019. And now, it’s the last day. I’ve traveled more this year than ever before, I got my Ministry license and completed Chaplaincy training, I saw my childhood best friend 4 times (the most since I’ve moved in 2010). I’ve met such amazing people, gained brothers and sisters in Christ, strengthened relationships, and let go of some relationships. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve prayed like never before, I’ve ministered like never before, encountered Christ and was used by the Holy Spirit in new ways. I can honestly say looking back 2019 was successful! I hope that you can look back and say the same (it’s all about perspective). Yes, there were definitely hard times, I experienced quite a bit of lows in every area of life, but the highs were so much more. I can say without a doubt, God really showed out for me this year. One of my favorite things about Him is that He does not change. He is FAITHFUL even when I’m not. And I am forever grateful.
One thing I desire in 2020 is to be in constant communion with Him. I have seen where I am lacking in my Spiritual life and just want to do better overall, but especially in prayer and reading+studying the Word. I know that when I become effortlessly consistent in these things, everything else I desire, in all areas of life, will work out. Because of how God has shown Himself to me this year, I have no worries for next year. I have decided to not let fear win. It will not be my excuse for not doing things in 2020. After all, with God on my side, what can man do to me? (See Psalm 118:6)
So yeah mane. We’re going into 2020, ready to be tested + refined & come out shining, okuuuuurt? In January, I’ll let you know some more plans, my word for the year, & all that jazz.
From the air,
Kumam 💛
