2014: Drama-Free Since Two-Oh-One-Three

2013: “”

Me: “”

As I walk out of 2013’s door with the baggages he had unceremoniously thrust into my reluctant hands, I can’t help but tell him almost violently, and much more to myself, “Well, I can’t wait to get the hell out of here.”

2013 has treated me like a bowl of cereal with mites hidden within it’s flakes. Mites that don’t show themselves until the crumbs settle. Mites that breed beneath the surface and  purpose to defile from within.

Natural instinct tells me to throw the bowl away. Obviously. But I can’t.

As much as 2013 has been a jerk to me, he has taught me the greatest lesson I have ever learnt;

That God is always faithful. Always.

It’s easy to be grateful when you’re sitting at a 10-course meal served by a waiter in a white coat.

It’s easy to be grateful when you’re running care-free by a seashore with your feet sinking into the softest sands.

It’s easy to be grateful when it’s beautiful.

How do you be grateful when you only have one meal, and there are mites in it?

How do you be grateful when it’s cumbersome to even get out of bed?

Yet He has shown me mercy when I least deserved it and grace when I needed it most.

I know the thoughts You have towards me, they are for good. Thank You for every miracle and every situation You have walked me through.

I wasn’t really in the mood for resolutions, but I thought, what the hey, life should be lived not endured.

So here it it. 2014 RESOLUTIONS!
