A Letter To My Year Of Lessons

December 8, 2016 by Esther No Comments

Dear 2016,

You are my favourite and I am sure you know that. I cannot believe you will be gone so soon forever! How did time fly so fast? Even before you arrived, I knew we were going to be best friends. I loved you before you arrived, thank you for surpassing all my imaginations. You are a beauty in and of yourself, every single day I wake up, you bring out a different side of me and teach me some valuable life lessons for which I am so thankful for.

There were days I hated you and you know that. Those days I thought I wouldn’t make it, those days were every single thing I did just didn’t work out but then you taught me a lesson in them. Looking back now, I am not sure why I love you because there was a time when every single thing I loved you took away from me. At that time, I thought I’d lost the battle with no strength left in me but then you taught me that I was stronger than I knew even when I told myself I couldn’t go on; you showed me that God had faith in me and He knew I could handle it. I am grateful for this lesson

Long before you came, I had a longing to find home that I craved so badly. A place where I would be accepted along with my brokenness and pain, I thank you for bringing and helping me realise home. In home I grew so deeply in Christ and I saw miracles happen right before me; in home I finally found the love of a lifetime and I am grateful for that. Thank you for constantly teaching me the value of knowing who I am and whose I am, this has been an amazing journey
