The band was fired up. A large woman
let her voice loose in a crowd of people waiting to catch it. She slowed her
tune as the crowd began counting down the seconds to the birth of 2014.
I'm not moving forward in the New
Year with eagerness spilling like the champagne in each partygoer’s hand.
Rather, I am looking 2014 in the eyes knowing it will challenge me and test my
faith. I had to grow up fast in the past two years, both a curse and a
blessing. I am a strong believer that in times of tribulation there is a deep
transformation within the mind, body and soul.
While I have a string of small
resolutions in the New Year my biggest is to not be afraid, for God is
within us. I didn't realize how precious time is until it is taken away.
As confetti poured from the ceiling I lift my glass and make a toast to cherishing every moment without fear. And when the woman began to pick up the tempo, so too did my faith.
