2007

Wow, its like, the last day. I just woke up for the last time in 2007. Yeah, this is my 20th time doing this. But it feels so strange. 2007 has been guaranteed for so long and now, I'm facing unpredictable 2008 head on.
Looking back over this year, I'm actually satisfied with what has happened.
I:
Managed to overcome a binding addicting that was pulling me down.
Met a Godly friend who understood and could support me in that.
Was giving a extremely demanding job and Aced it gracefully.
Spent two months in NJ. Longest time I've ever been away from home.
Found God's presence in a way I couldn't have understood until now.
Made a commitment, then saw it through.
Experienced at kind of God-me moment you only read about in the bible.
completed two decades in my life.

I'm sure there's even more, but the past isn't a place I want to dwell in anymore. The future has too much promise to ignore.
The biggest thing that I'm looking forward to is the beginning of a year-long trip that will start just before my birthday. One that will take me to the other side of the Atlantic to a city I know nothing about. Slightly frightening... we'll see.

I made a decision years ago not to make a resolution. It always seems to be more of a disappointment then a gain.... mostly because I never see it through. So I'm just looking at what might happen. What God may have waiting for me. And when I think of it that way, its kinda exciting.
