Rambling on about Life, the Year Ahead, and Dream and Realities….

Looking back, the past year has been anything but simple or uneventful. It was a whirlwind—intense and unpredictable, filled with moments of triumph and setbacks, beginnings and second chances. I’ve experienced loss—of things, of people—but I’ve also gained a deeper respect for some and found myself letting go of my trust for others. There have been more than enough challenges, and personal growth never came easy, but I kept moving forward. That’s just how I navigate life.

There were times when I chose to be still, moments of quiet reflection instead of action. I am learning that sometimes, silence and stillness hold their own wisdom, they are not only needed, but they feel right. As I step into the new year, I carry these lessons with me, ready to face whatever comes next, believing that both movement and quiet have a place in my journey.

I am like all of you who have dreams, I daydream and fantasize often, to be honest. Still, as the months passed and life unfolded in ways I couldn’t always predict, I found comfort in the simple act of dreaming. I am like all of you who have dreams, I daydream and fantasize often, to be honest. There’s something invigorating about imagining what lies ahead, letting hope spark new ideas and possibilities when the path seems uncertain. Whether those dreams are bold ambitions or quiet wishes tucked away for another day, they fuel my resilience and remind me that, no matter what the setbacks, there’s always space for optimism and growth as we step into the new year.

So, I am walking into this new year after watching The War Room on Netflix with power, purpose, and a Warrior attitude … I am not going quietly into the dysfunction of our society, I am not going to adjust to losing people I do not want to lose, or fall into line with those who are uncaring, unconcerned, and unfeeling. I am going to War, I am going to fight for my family, my friends, and for my life. My son told me this morning after recounting to him my fall last night, the fact I have had no water since Christmas Day, my AC unit is messed up since the day after Christmas, and while I have the money, help is not to be found, that the Devil is just trying to steal our joy, I say he is trying t steal m Hope, My Faith and that is never happening… So, I am going to War against the Devil… I have started my day that way today, and I will continue until I have sent him packing.

So, I am walking into this year, aware of the realities of life as it is, unwilling to give in or give up. I will dream of good things, do good works, and give grace and mercy to those who need it, just as God gives it to me. I will deepen my Faith Walk, and I will make sure God knows my heart and feels my love for Him.
I. Am. Tired, But,. I. Will. Not Quit, nor Lose.
Here I come, God, here We Go….
