2007 Is a year I look back on as year of learning, this year I learned a lot about my self learned what my weakens and strengths are. Most definitely 2007 is the year I was able to express who I truly was as a person moreover I showed myself as and individual in less of a follower of others. This year has had its up’s and downs but the good times have truly out weighted the bad.

The year got off to an okay start nothing spectacular, In January my best friend and me traveled to Atlanta and the trip was horrible we had to spend the night in the airport in Phoenix AZ, got to Atlanta day later then scheduled. Atlanta was fun even though we did not do much. The trip home was awful too; my best friend and I were stranded in North Carolina this time. Overall, the trip brought my best friend and me closer. In 2007 year, all my closet friends celebrated their 21st birthdays and we all partied like never before. Felt like each weekend we were hitting the club. A lot of the partying started to interfere with my church and work life, so I decided to slow down with the party into focus on my spiritual life and work. By the end of the 1st quarter of the year, most of my friends were starting to have serious relationships and I felt the need to be in one too. That was a big mistake I staring to dating someone from my job who did like me but I did not exactly feel the same way. That relationship lasted all of two months with constant arguing and lack of trust on both ends and in the in I had to end the relationship (no more dating losers lol).

For first the time in my adult life, I was able to show my true emotions without putting on a front. This year I seen my great grandmother pass away at 101 years she was truly a blessing and loved by so many. Also, another close friend my church passed and I was truly sad that I did not spend as much time with her in my adult life as I did in my childhood. Again, I was deeply sad when a member from my church was gunned down for no apparent reason, I could not believe that bad stuff could happen to good people. When my sister told she was pregnant, I had mixed emotions because she was not married to the baby’s father and that he would go to the military soon. And I think that she could raise a baby alone by herself away in Maryland while all of her family is in California. Even though I did not believe in abortion, contemplated telling my sister that was the best option. I am so happy my sister decided to move back home and to have the baby. I am the proudest uncle in the world! My nephew brings a smile to my face every time I see him!

In 2007, the search for love has been hard one but each day I am reminded by my friends and family that I am loved by them. Even though in 2007, my friends and me are all drifting in different directions as far as school, work and relationships. We all have our different views and outlooks on life. Are main thing that we do have in common is that we are blessed in and we think GOD for everything he has done for us, And that we have love for one another.

I think God for one more year, I think God for all his done for me this year (my car & promotion), my family, friends, all of his blessing big and small. I just think God for allowing me to grow and learn this year and I hope I continue to learn in 2008 and let my light shine for others may so the good in me.

NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS, WHEN LIFE SEEMS HARD JUST PRAY AND HAVE FAITH THAT GOD WILL WORK IT OUT FOR YOU NOTHNG IS NEVER TO HARD FOR GOD.
