Well, it's 2012 now. A new year is exciting and brings adventures with it. I can't wait to see what happens this year.
2011 was a pretty good year. I had many good times, and I began hanging out with some groups of people at my new school and church. I have found some good friends here. Granted, it took time, but when I first moved, I didn't know what would happen. I honestly thought I would just stick to myself until I went to college. Now that I am half-way through my senior year, I am excited for college and worried at the same time, and I know I will miss some of my new friends. I know God will lead me though. I just have to follow Him.
I hope everyone else had a great year in 2011, and they look forward to a new year as well. I realize it is hard at times to see that anyone cares or if anything good will happen, but I have been there, too. It's not easy when you feel alone, but a friend of mine reminded me that we are never alone. God is always there for us, and I guarantee someone else is there for you, too. You go and ask everyone in the world, and someone will care. It is amazing how God works. He teaches us daily. Whether we are growing or falling, or we know someone who is growing or falling. We can help them if they are falling, and they can help us if we are. That is what friends are for. "For two are better than one, because they have good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can pick him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!" -Ecclesiastes 4:9-10. We just have to realize that we all fall.
I realized a friend of mine was not necessarily falling, but they were in a rough spot in their life. It wasn't until a few minutes after that God reminded me I had been in the exact same place a little over a year ago. I have to remember what I needed and maybe I will be able to help. I hope I can however needed.
So, going into the new year, 2012, I look forward to seeing how God uses me, and how my life progresses.
Happy New Year
