Just some quick thoughts here on the New Year and such. First, I noticed a lot of people on facebook where making status similar to this, "2010 was a crappy year, lets hope 2011 is better!" And I do realize that some people had very rough years. Several friends of mine lost loved ones and that alone would be enough to make for a rough year. But I also think it is what you make it. Things are going to happen, some things will be worse than others. I think it is important to realize that life is up and down. We have to be mature enough to handle the hard times and not get to comfortable in the good times. One friend of mine suffered a huge loss in her life but yet she stays positive. No doubt was it a very tough year for her but she has decided to fight it and push on. We all have that choice, and believe me, you will be much happier if you take stuff for what it is and just stay positive.
Also, I am not big on New Year Resolutions. I am normally not motivated enough to keep up with them. But I was reading in the gospel of Matthew recently and came across one of my favorite verses. 5:41 "If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles." If we could live true to this verse just think how much better other peoples' years could be. Its simple, go the extra mile, help people out. If a friend is having a rough time be sure to do what you can to better that time. I do not always do a good job of following Jesus' lead on this one but I do hope to better in this new year.
But I do hope you all have had a good start to your years. I spent the first day of this year watching football and then took two of my old Wyld Life boys, Bobby and Quinn, to T-bell. I love finding a reason to eat T-bell even if it means my car is going to get pelted with hot sauce packets... But, I enjoyed the time and look forward to the rest of the year!! After all, I graduate in 11 months!!!
