With a GRATEFUL heart!

Hurray!!! It's the last day in the year 2019 and I'm so excited! The year wasn't all rosy as it came with its own thorns but I'm grateful for the wonderful experiences that exceeded the challenges.

I'm equally using this opportunity to thank all of my readers. It amazes me that even with my inconsistency, the blog recorded over a thousand clicks with just nine (9) posts!!.🥳🥳🥳 I can boldly say I have a strong support system!. Thank you so much!.

The article with the most click was my first documented fiction titled "the transformation to a beast". This particular write-up was a very quick one and was borne out of anger. I remember going through posts on "instablog" and most of the highlights for a week were posts relating to pedophiles and a lot of sodomy acts with children! It was crazy!.

This made me decide to write about it and I wanted to publish it that same day (Lol! I didn't want the anger in me to die down), which I did by the way but without taking out time to proofread. I am glad I wrote it considering the number of reviews I received. I never knew I could pen down any work of fiction. Lol. It is safe to say... 2019 is (was) my year of discovery!.

If you have not read the article (the transformation to a beast), it is just a click away.

Darlings! I am not here to bore you on how my 2019 went, I am just here to show the world how grateful I am to God for a wonderful 2019, not just for me but also everyone in my corner.

I remember earlier in the year when I was worried about everything surrounding my career, family, friends, relationship, finance and a number of issues. I didn't know the "how, when, where and why" particularly in my career path but I heard a tiny still voice in my head say... "He who started the good work in you will be faithful to complete it". Another one was "It is settled". Fam! that was all the assurance I needed for the year 2019!. 

I am not perfect and if I am being honest I am greatly flawed. I still do not have it all figured out. I am still trying to discover so much about myself because I think there is still so much I can do that I haven't explored yet. I still make mistakes. I still doubt myself but in ALL of these and so many uncertainties, I am grateful to God that I can rest on Him and His promises for me.

I am grateful for God's faithfulness even in my unfaithfulness. I am grateful for the days I forget to hold His hands, yet He pulls me closer and He calls me "mine"!.

I am grateful to God because through it all, I can smile and laugh so passionately. I am grateful for not wallowing and worrying too much over issues that could have drown a lot of people, I am not saying this is easy, as a matter of fact, this is the reason, I try as much as possible to protect my mental space so when the chips are down I can pull up positive energy from that space. I am grateful to God for this.

The wonderful people God brought my life and the friendships I redefined this year is something I am very grateful for. I look forward to more meaningful and impactful friendships in the new year.

I am grateful for how God had a hand in the upliftment of the people in my life. Promotions, positive increase in their finances, wedding bells, safe delivery, good health and the good things in life were not far from them. I pray for a better 2020 for all of them!.

I am grateful for good health for me and everyone that concerns me.

For the good, bad and ugly, I am grateful to God.

I am entirely grateful for God's mercy and grace through it all.

The lyrics of Nathaniel Bassey's "Imela" is giving me the necessary vibe I need at the moment and my heart is jumping and excited for every word!. My heart is grateful!.

I haven't made any plans for the year 2020. Although there are certain milestones I would love to reach and surpass but I will be happy to let Him have His way. I'm willing to let Him take the wheel. As someone once said "wetin concern God with your plans?".😂

So lovelies, as I end this write-up... I leave you with these words:

1. When in doubt, rest on Him. Let him lead you.
2. He who started the good work in you, will be faithful to complete it.
3. Know for sure that the Glory of the latter (2020) will be far greater than the former (2019).
4. Lastly, "nothing concern God with your plans" 😅

See you all in the year 2020! Once again, thank you so much for hanging around. I love you all and I wish you love and all the good things that matter in the new year!!

I'm guessing, it's not too early to raise a glass and scream "Cheers to the good life!"🍾🥂

Have a wonderful 2020!! ❤😘
