Happy New Year!

It is officially 2012! This by far has been a very different New Years for me. I decided to stay in and finally go through a gall bladder/liver flush. I’ve attempted cleanses in the past but this is the only one I’ve ever stuck through. I’m ready to do what I need to do for my health this year. And this encompasses all forms of health; spiritual, emotional, and physical. I guess you could considerate it one of my resolutions.

Seeing that 2011 has come to an end I think it is important to take a moment of reflection. 2011 had to be one of the most incredible yet toughest years I’ve had to endure. There were several hardships, but at the same time some of my greatest moments I’ll cherish forever.

The year ended with a bang. I spent the month of November in New Zealand with my pal Davaun. But upon returning home, everything seemed to fall apart. I felt as if I was going through an identity crisis and everything around me was crumbling at the seams. I continued to become very ill and completely discouraged. Although not at the time, I am continually thankful for these hardships because they are teaching me so much about myself and most importantly to trust the Lord on a deeper level.

The Lord is stripping away the layers. He is knocking down the walls I built in fear through insecurities. I am no where near where I want to be yet, but “slow and steady wins the race,” so I cling to that. I want the change in to be undeniable and real.
