So let me think about my life as it wa this year. In all fairness and honesty, I have to say; it has been a very challenging year for me. On a scale from 1 – 5 – what would I rate it? Ok; 1 being peachy and 5 being deplorable….let me see… I give my year 2010 a 5. It really could not get any worse.
But, as I am rather optimistic about life in general, I choose to look at the bright side of life rather than the deplorable. As my mom said: “if life hands you lemons…give back and take what you want instead…nah she didn’t, I just made that up.
On the plus side. My business Cedelink went into office this year. My team and I really enjoyed the excitement of designing corporate image. We decided on the ceder tree as part of our logo. The tree in my life has always represented strength, versatility, refuge, provision. Think about what a tree can do…hence I decided to go with the tree. Besides, I believe it was by divine guidance that I got to the tree – so I take no credit for the wisdom in that.
As I come from a historically disadvantaged upbringing – the less fortunate will always have a special and permanent place in my heart. This year I went to Zimbabwe and served on a mission trip with Joyce Meyer Ministries I & met Darlene Zschech. She is truly an amazing woman with a presence that inspires awe.
Another plus of excitement for ,e is that I’ve joined Hillsong evening college here in Cape Town. The course includes subjects on Bible, Leadership, Lifestyle and Theology.
We celebrated the love of 2 great friends of mine Tania & Darren who got married in September and I had the honour of being MC and coordinator for the entire event. I love the spot light…but Tania and Darren stole the show by far…
Then in October my newborn niece Giana joined the family. Her mom (my sis) and dad allowed me to name her. Giana is Hebrew, meaning God is gracious. Her dad thought it appropriate for us to name her so, as she came a little premature. This all after my aunts 60th surprise birthday celebration. That night, her mom and I were chatting and her mom had little cramps and I rubbed her back and spoke to my niece. I think the excitement of hearing her uncle’s voice she had to come that night. Yeah I know, I have that effect on people…when they hear my voice, they want to be around me. (note to self…you sound vane….note back to self…I know)
Anyway…as you can tell, I had all the reason this year to much rather look at the bright side of life. Every dark tunnel has an end…mine was 31 December 2010. Now for the bright light that awaits me in 2011. I’m going for GOLD!
