The Last Swing

Today I realise that most people's favourite month is the month of December. Indeed there are plenty of reasons to like December. The kids are on holiday, Christmas is on it's way, then right after New Year comes. I love December for all those reasons too but my personal reason for loving December so much is not even because my birthday falls on this particular month.

I love it because it marks the ending of another year and particularly this year because it was such a tough year in every aspect of my life. Every single time I think back to the month of January, I really had no idea so much things could come by in 12 short months. Almost every thing that happened were incidents and opportunities that had never even crossed my mind.

I won't deny it, it has been a terribly tough year and a part of me really hope that next year would be much easier. I mean, can more things really happen in a year?

Yet I know it has been a good year. Life can be tough but it is always a good life. Life is good whether you're going through it easily or so tough till we think we can go on no more because to be given life is good in itself and for that I'm thankful. I'm thankful I'm alive today making it through 2011.

Somewhere in the middle of this year I had a question that popped into my mind. I asked myself what will happen to me if all the pillars in my life was broken down one by one. And now I know the answer. I will still be standing tall (at 5ft only :) ) and strong because my God who laid His life down for me holds me through it all and that was all I needed to know.
