goodbye my year


Its been a big year, growth and fall downs, it has been a year of the biggest emotional flipouts and perhaps the best year as yet. It has truely been a year to reckon with, our generation has lived an interesting life. We lived to see the addition of cellphones as part of breathing, we lived to see a perfectly black man turn white, we lived to see having a baby outside wed lock a norm we have lived to see corruption creep into an excellent government now we know. We have lived this year particularly, to see a useless school planted everywhere in our country Botswana, we have lived just this year to see a mixed race man become president to a black country, this year only will we be marked as the country with an unwed president, only in 2008 we have seen suicides and horrific accidents occur right before our eyes, only in this year i turned 21 if thats not big then well i dont know what is. One of the biggest wows again will be the American elections that left the world with hope. When the presidential elect Barack Obama steps into the presidency but of course will not be sworn in all the wat until yours truely's birthday.
It has been a year of Asian horror we watched as Mymmar fell to pieces and China crumble down just moments before their big Olympic event. And of course Sudan continues to suffer as rebels continue to terrorise civilians,God be with us all.


Spiritually, it has been a challenging year, it has been a year of vast spiritual warfare and gorwth, it has been a year that has separated real from feign it has given us the ability to distinguish right from wrong light from darkness, but it has also been a year of great compromise of one's beliefs, morals, principles and life itself. Baptised in the Holy Spirit and fallen because of indulgence on the earthly pleasures, lonenliness is evil because it has come to allow us,Christians to justify our action because we cant help but feel an urgent need to serve our God the living Father and at the same time live according to the world. We indulge in relentless hating as it is known, we indulge in shopping for clothes that are inappropriate, we indulge in things that are not even needs but selfish wants.


Personally, mine has been a year of forgiveness and growth with obvious flaws and crush downs, it has been a year of learning and understanding, it has been a year of deceipt but it has also been a year where i have learnt the art of giving without boundaries but rather with feeling, personal and love. I have found friends that have been before me and found friends that are from the past not yet ready to fade away, it has been a year of great discoveries and freat scares about life and perhaps even scariest facts.
Economically it has been challenging,Socially quite a strive since i'm pretty much grown enough to understand what i want in life and out of my friends and the people whose company i keep.
Love has been overflowing.... friends,a special someone,a new nephew last but surely not least the love of God has been in abundance.
