What are your resolutions?

Dear friend,
Happy new year to the other half of the world! And a patient wait to all of us here holding on for it to come. So for the coming year 2013, have you already settled and written down your resolutions? I haven't yet. And I'm not even quite sure if, first off, I have fully accomplished those of this year. But one thing about the next year which is real close is to not expect anything from ourselves. Because expectations will always fail us, and trust me it will now or then. My only wish for 2013 is for it to be an adventure. 

You know a whole year is like a roller-coaster. It has its ups and downs, and it also has twists and loops. It can look very scary from the outside, but once you're on it you can't back out. You gotta need a lot of courage and you know, just live in the moment. In my humble opinion, it's good and wise to set a few challenges and changes in your life for this coming year, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just let things fall into place. Plan your thang and let God do the accomplishment. There are gonna be a lot of surprises. Things you haven't expected. Things that weren't included in your "list". 

At times you may be disappointed and you be like things aren't going the way I thought it would have been. Oh boy, I can tell you there are gonna be downs. But it's not a reason for you to give up just yet. As a matter of fact, just like in a ride, throw your hands up through the highs and lows and bring yourself together. Just enjoy the 365 days, 8760 hours, 525'600 minutes and 31'536'000 seconds of this year 2013 with a whole lotta courage and faith. Leave everything in the palm of His hand, and thank him for each and every day that will come by. 

My resolution for this year is to have enough strength and faith to enjoy this year's adventure. And to let God do the makeover in whatever aspect of my life. Happy new year friend!

Yours truly,
J. Powers
