If u read my post in December last year, you know by now that I love Christmas with an almost questionable passion… and if you didn’t, well you do now.
So it’s with great excitement that I’m announcing that its Xmas again!!! (I know! I know!!; like you didn’t know that; like I’m the only one with a calendar!) I know you know, but I can’t curb the need to scream it.
It’s with excitement that I’m crossing the threshold of December. It’s a funny blend of excitement; gratitude for the months gone by and this last month and all the possibilities it holds.
This year has been a most memorable year for me. Not in the meaningless way we wish people a ‘memorable year/day/week’ etc. but in a genuine I-will-always-remember-it kind of way. Fear not, I’m not gonna bore you will retells of my adventures and experiences of 2010 (except you ask for it of course!) but I’d just say that God can and does indeed use seeming set-backs to shoot a person forward. It’s kind of in the same way you need to take a step or two back just before breaking into a run. I’m run; it may not be at a pace I want and I may not have reached the mark I had my eyes on for this point in time, but I’m definitely running and the feel of the wind in my hair and on my face is worth the backward steps… of course I didn't feel that way at the time. ‘Lucky for us that we serve a God who knows better than to succumb to our childish whining!
So…it’s December, the last month of the year; the month we kind of unconsciously hold our breaths over, thinking if so-and-so doesn’t finally click this month, it’s over! So-and-so usually being an endless list of desires like marriage, that dream job, a child, a new house, a flashy car, a trip to somewhere far far away…the list like I said is endless. I have mine. It’s not very long but the imports of the desires are quite far-reaching. Sometimes I snigger and think to myself ‘like that’s gonna happen’, but on other days I look to my Father and ask ‘Will you! Will you let me have it?’ Those are my better days.
So, it’s December, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed on so many things! I can literally caught a strong waft of all the fun and merriment packed in the month. My mind is swimming with ideas … “It would be fun to go to the beach!”... “Oh! Oh!! Let’s have a get together at Funmi’s or Sochi’s”
I don’t know exactly how I came to know it, but I know that this month is gonna be mad fun! I’d try not to say ‘I told u so!’
