2024 sometimes feels like it did not happen, as if my mind intentionally wants to skip it. It is a little like what happened with 2019 and 2020—where we kept forgetting 2020 to an extent. Yet I am deeply grateful for 2024. It is a monumental year in my life—my year of intense growth and grace. This is the year I faced undeniable depression, confusion, and uncertainty. The year I had to seek for help. I found myself among others who lamented about the uncertainty of how the year would end.
Today, I am here to thank GOD because the emotions I felt in the first and second quarters are now memories. They are now replaced with a heart of gratitude in these last days of the year. The things that caused me worry and anxiety are simply resting in the hands of GOD. They are not necessarily resolved, but I have learned that they are beyond me. Importantly, why should I stress when I have GOD with me?
I am dancing into 2025 knowing that the grace of GOD is ever present. I just need to bask in it. I have grown from a woman who struggled and thought she handled everything. Now, I am a woman who knows everything is sorted. Since 2023, I’ve been learning the art of surrender. I believe GOD needed me to understand it back then because it became essential for me in 2024. My prayer now is to continue this journey of learning and surrendering—every day, in every moment.
Who will you be in 2025?
With grateful smiles,
