SHADES OF REFLECTION (PART IV)

. . .CONTINUATION OF PART IV
After the good news of seeing the result. Of course, what do you expect? Everyone who’s invested in one labour or the other will be glad they finally become successful. Of course, I was very very happy. Though, I challenged myself why I couldn’t get much marks than that but I was confident that by the grace of God, with the marks I’ve gotten, I should be able to secure an undeniable admission into TOPS.
And while still waiting for my name to appear on the admission list, about this time last two years, I planned then on making enough reflections and building strategies on how I was to go about the coming here which has always been what I do when I’m about going through the years.

LESSONS TO LEARN
**************
Yeah, there was a need for a good reflection. You can’t just spend a whole bunch of thousands of seconds and hundreds of hours without reflecting for a second what’s really up on your goals, have you been able to achieve them and things like that.
I am a strong believer of the quote which says “if you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail” and this has been the custom with me because having access to plans give your life meaning and also gives you the opportunity to have your life run through a specific pattern. It’s an habit you should cultivate.
While engaging myself in this, I wrote this on the 31st of December, 2015, exactly two years ago. Here’s it, enjoy . . .

On Thursday, 31st of December, 2015, I wrote this on my personal diary. Here’s what I had written down:
“To God be the glory, great things He hath done. I can’t believe I am seeing the last day of this month and this year. This is truly the day the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. It’s been a wonderful yearly experience. My thanks goes to the Lord, who has been my sustainer, my helper, my wonderful God who has given me the opportunity again for me to see the very end of this year, who has helped me thus far, who rendered my enemies speechless. There has been series of challenges I’ve witnessed this year, ranging from the processing of my admission to the countless of victorious living God’s granted me, He is a faithful God. Lord Jesus, I thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, it’s only you oh Jesus that my thanks and appreciation can go to. May your name be forever glorified, amen.

Because of my time because it’s just 8:57 pm here right now, I have decided to make sure that whatever plans I will achieve in the coming year should always be settled in November. It should be a preparatory platform where I sit down, think through in partnership with the Spirit of God to achieve (don’t mind me, #chuckles, I get pretty funny at times because I’m always dependent on God, you say?. . . (
I wrote this clearly:
I will like to learn keyboard in 2016 and should improve drastically on how I communicate, my written prowess and personal development.
#laughs (, you know it’s funny when you read some of the stuffs you write about things years later and you just feel, did I truly write that? Are you really kidding me? Well, did I truly learn that keyboard? Yeah, I think I did, though I wasn’t able to graduate into the advanced level, you know, where you got to read music theories, the quavers, semi-quavers and what have you. #chuckles but obviously, I think 2016 was really a year I developed and grew much more.  #laughs

Also, I was told the admission list of TOPS is now being released on batches, I know I’m cocksure something is really gonna happen.

Goodbye diary, till when next you’re needed to serve as an evidence for things that will come up in the future as notes of testimony to testify to the glory of God. hallelujah!
Ended the writeup around 9:15 pm.”

***************
Those were my words to seal up 2015. And guess what? I have this to say: Read on. . .
Yeah! Often time, when people I get to read my write-ups years later, I am usually very very supportive of having people’s hope balanced and their faith being on a high side based on how they handle their thoughts. They say “great people who reason much do that through reasoning on the book”. While some constantly looks for people to share their burden with, I always give in to writing my thoughts on black and white and it’s been a bedrock to keeping my faith high and sustaining different life’s challenges and that was how 2015 ended.
