So it's the beginning of 2012, the beginning of the end of the world right? Not that I believe this stuff about the end of the world, beginning a Christian I believe that we don't actually know when the earth will end but I hope it's not this year, I have so much planned for the rest of my life. There's a common phrase, "live each day as if it was your last". I think this is an amazing phrase but it is not a philosophy I hold to my own life and I wish I did and maybe this year is the year?! Who knows! But why not live this year as if it was our last? I was sat in the car with my parents on the way back from a day out, the radio was on and the news came on and what a depressing load of rubbish! The headlines were; a shooting of 4, a stabbing of 1 and the death of a sportsman. Great! All that is in the news these days is murders, resession, climate change, death, war, uprising. No wonder we are so depressed these days. I'm not saying that there isnt happy stuff in the news but it very rarely makes the headlines. I think everyone would be much happier if we sharded news about the better things in life, love, engagments, birth, achievements etc. but hey, I'm just one person voicing an opinion but isn't that what all this here's about, voicing an opinion.
So a new start for me....I'm rubbish at making New Year Resolutions, so this year I haven't. I'm just going to try and get through this year and at the end of it not having to think "well i didn't stick to that" "I failed and doing this". No, at the end I'm going to think "I achieved this", "I survived my A-Levels" (which will be a HUGE success for me). But so far I'm looking forward to this year, there haven't been any major troubles...yet... but I don't want to speak to soon! I know this year will tough. Hell, I'm sitting my A-Levels, it's going to be one of the toughest yet but I know I have the strenght to get through...some how and I know that God will give me the grace to do so :) So I ask myself, and I challenege others, is this really a new start or are we going to just carrying on like we did this time last year or are we actually going to make a change so we can truely say at the end of the year, "2012 was the year I made a change"? Is it really a new year, a new start?
