Who else heard every other person say 2016 was an amazing year or for some the best year???
I know I did, almost everywhere I went and I sat there like, I am extremely grateful for the year 2016. No regrets, no complaints and just full of gratitude but no, it was not my best year and quite frankly, for me 2015 was better.
Doesn't stop me from appreciating my God or being full of gratitude and the same should be for you. Regardless of whether or not it was a better or the best year.
They say you don't grow in comfort and while there is a level of truth there, just maybe there'll be someone who will oppose that. But yes, for reasonable, consistent growth, it'll most likely be out of your comfort and that was my 2016 using an analogy.
The tests and trials this year, about 2 years ago, I probably would not have been able to handle it but God.
It was not in any way my best year but I grew so much this year it's unbelievable.
Made decisions that on a normal day would leave to everyone else but myself to make.
Made friends I felt were genuine and good people, approached conflicts and disagreements in a whole new dimension, got to know a lot more about myself, but ultimately, got to know God in another dimension which I must say, is the icing on the cake.
Try not to dwell too much on what could have or could not have happened. Just take some time out to retreat and reflect and see things clearer for yourself in 2017.
For me, just 2 things made it to my goal list for 2017.
1) Be consistent
2) One step at a time.
Those were two areas I felt I needed to work on from 2016 and I see that if I master these two things, I should be a step closer to the Rubie I should be.
Compliments of the season from me to you and yours.
Beyond any reasonable doubt, 2017 would be my best year yet! I hope the same for you too.
