Happy New Year, Thank You, and God Bless You!

Happy New Year!  First of all, I would like to say a very big thank you to you for taking the time to stop and read my blogs.  Some of you are returning visitors and others might be first time visitors.  I really appreciate you all, thank you very much!  For those of you who have left me comments, I am very encouraged, thank you so much for your kind words encouraging me to keep writing.  I am quite amazed that visitors to this blog come from all over the world, from the United Kingdom, Africa, USA, Australia, Canada, all over Europe, India, Islamabad, Kuala Lumpur, South Africa, to name but a few.  You are the reason why I keep writing and I hope that you are encouraged each time you visit.  God bless you.

This year I pray you will be blessed and elevated. I pray that everything you lay your hands on shall prosper.  If you are feeling low, broke, jobless, lonely and tired of life, I encourage you not to give up.  Life is full of many challenges, but we must not allow our problems to drive us into a corner. I pray that you will run through every troop and scale every wall of failure, disappointment and hopelessness.  If you are feeling worthless, I pray this year that you will not give up, you will fight back.  I pray you will not back out, you will fight back. I pray you will not quit, you will not fall and you will not fail.  You are not a failure, you are not an error or a mistake, you are needed in this world.  Somebody out there needs you.  Your family need you, your children need you, your spouse need you, your friends need you, the entire world needs you!  You are not insignificant, there is a purpose why you are in this world.

Life has been a massive struggle for many of us due to the economic situation in the world. If you are struggling to make ends meet, I encourage you please don't panic, all is not lost. You are not alone, we are all in it together.  I encourage you today, don't be afraid, whilst there is life there is hope. Hope must not be cut off. In the words of an unknown author, "When the world says, "Give up", Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."  Once you choose hope, anything is possible.  So, I encourage you today, keep trying, keep hoping and don't give up.  Dare to look up, there is always light at the end of the tunnel!

I wish you every success in 2013.  God bless you!
