In spite of all these heartaches, I persevered. I continued fighting. I continued sowing good seeds even though there was a drought in my fields. Storms came and went. Strong winds blew everything away. But I’m still here.

But 2009 isn’t all that bad. I have started new friendships and new doors of ministry have opened up to me. From all these trials and tribulations, I learned. I learned first hand how God’s grace is real. I learned first hand about forgiveness. I learned first hand how divine promises are kept. I learned who my real friends are.

To those who I have met for the first time this year and to those who I have forged stronger friendships, I thank you for letting me be part of your life. To those who have helped opened door of new opportunities, I thank you for trusting me.

So as the year 2009 closes, I leave it behind the door shut. No longer will the ghosts of 2009 haunt me. No longer will the disappointments and the tragedies follow me. I am putting my foot down. I’m slamming the door on 2009’s face. Good riddance!

I look forward to 2010. It is a new beginning for me. A new season. A new day. A new year of prosperity. A new year of opened doors and endless opportunities. 2010 is the year I break out and flourish.

It seems that a new day is approaching for me. A brighter future is ahead. I just know it. I can feel it. I can touch it.

I have made a choice. I am taking a stand. 2010 is my year.

2010 is the year of great favor for my life, my family and my ministry. This is the year I will be UNLEASHED.
