Dear 2011,
Your time has come to an end, and it is with great joy that I write this letter to see you off. To be honest I am glad to see you go. Not that you weren't in a lot of ways good to me, because you were. You see it was during your stay that I learned the true meaning of what GODs grace is. Yes, it seemed as though you 2011 and GODs grace walked alongside me, hand in hand like a companion. You and grace stood where 2010 and my own strength used to be and oh how sweet it was. Grace has been such a better companion to me than self strength will ever be. You 2011 were very special. The first year I experienced post graduation, the year of freely living out acts 1:8. God did a lot with this year. Haiti, New York, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, and even a small taste of the D.R. The LORD used me to spread the gospel, teach, preach and many other things. I loved, lost, coped and healed.
Unfortunately, self strength crept up in there and I made some decisions that caused me to lose one thing I should have had during your stay 2011….Peace. These bad decisions caused a lot of unnecessary heart ache, and I missed some really good opportune moments because of the peace I was missing. But we know GOD to be a healer and redeemer, and that is why I am glad to see you go 2011. With 2012 taking your place GOD is redeeming lost moments, and manifesting even greater ones. Another chance to die to self, and have life in Christ, and I plan to seize this chance at life to the fullest! And although the companion of GODs grace will NEVER leave me, I plan to allow peace to join us in this walk together.
I must thank you though, for all you taught me, see there could not be a mountain top if there were not a valley present. And it is in the valley that your learn the most. Goodbye 2011. I will always remember the lessons you taught me, and one day your failures will be a distant memory in the shadow of my triumph in Christ.
