What a Year; 2008!!!!

I don't know about y'all, but I'm glad to see 2008 leave!!

From natural disasters like the tornado's that hit downtown Atlanta, the collapse of the American Banking System, record breaking foreclosure rate, mortgage fraud, record breaking business closures, record breaking crime rate, etc.

Now, I know that a lot of the problems from 2008 will just linger in to the new year, but it's that belief that a new year will bring new beginnings! It's like when I was a kid, the belief that if I were good all year, Santa Claus will bring me all the things I wanted for Christmas. Now, as an adult, my belief in God is solid. I believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. I believe if I try my best to live by God's standards, my lord will bless me in a way that no one can imagine. I know I will fall short sometimes, but my belief in him and asking for his forgiveness in my time of shortcomings will prevail.

See, life if full of beliefs and promises. When you stop believing in the good things in life, you change who you are. You lose Hope! You lose focus on whats your purpose in life.

My grandparents always said that there are only two things in life that is guaranteed.
1. Death
2. Taxes

Well, I'm going to change that slogan today.

There's only two things in life that I guarantee that no one can take from you:
1. Your Belief
2. Your Will

Your Belief and Will to make things better.
Your Belief and Will to never give up.
Your Belief and Will to be the best person you can be.

My friends, I'm looking forward in 2009!!

I'm looking forward to the new year and new beginnings.

So join me in Celebrating the coming of a new year!!!.

Pass this article on to friends and family members who may be a little down about their current conditions.

I BELIEVE IN YOU!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
