It's very cliche isn't? New year, new you. I'm not done yet making a resolution for 2015, I have made it in my head what to do lists in 2015 tho I didn't much really enjoyed with the idea of it. Because I'm sort of a mid-perfectionist and yet a sort of let-it-flow girl, this was a complex mix. I sometimes never give a damn over few things cause better it's surprises me than I expect it to be (I remember the last time I let things surprised me and I cried for it over months because it turned out terrible surprise). It happened as well when I have done a-well-made plans and wasn't worked out as it should be, I went stressing my self out for weeks. Sounds cray. But I have figured out that I wasn't including God that time and wasn't prioritizing Him in my daily life. Now I better kept my 2015 resolution for myself that only God and one self knows. Let my resolutions known when it become realities. I'm still pretty much excited for 2015, nevertheless, this goodbye of 2014 bring us to a new hello, new journey, and to a new story which may remains. But what is far remarkable to all those new thingy is, the new you. You can't be the same person through all the years, innit? What version of you that you choose to become, is it to be more intelligent or less excusing version of you, that's matter. As for me, to be honest, I'm rebel and very impatient person which explain why I always argued and fought with my Mum so many, many times. (which is not good for my health, how can you persist with anger inside you everyday?). That's it, I want the new me. I need to possess God's gentleness. ─Renewal from the inside is far more important than the improvement from the outside "New year, New you" from Nick Vujicic's podcast.

Well, that's all I can remember! How about you? Ok, don't think I'm doing this thing for nothing, Here's why: it is necessary to have that Self Appreciation Day after a year, however it is important to realising what you have been through in a year. What God has brought you through and how you consider everything that happened to you, is it as a lesson or otherwise as a failure, you need to throw it down, honey. The happy thoughts of 2014 will help you embrace a year ahead :). Happy New Year from here in front of my computer. May you keep including God more and more in your life this year, as I pray this for mine too.
Lucy,
xx
