2008: The Year of Change

2008 has been one of the most intense years in recent memory. I've had my fair share of challenges, obstacles and trials to overcome. I've made a lot of changes in my life for the better. I feel like 2008 has been the year of change.

The most important change has been my relationship with God. I feel like it has really been strengthened in the last year. I've never spent more time reading, listening to audio programs, sermons, and podcasts in my life. Without a doubt I still have my fair share of challenges. But I truly believe that God has good things in store for me, and I have better expectations for life.

This has had a significant impact on my personal relationships and how I interact with the world. I've seen my friends rise to new levels in their lives, ready to take on new challenges; ready to take ownership of their current situation and willingness to do something about it. Of course, I can't take credit for that. God has been doing a lot of work in their lives as well.

I've been learning a lot. I've decided that education doesn't end with High School or College. I've decided to continue my education, and I believe that this will be a lifelong process. You don't have to be going to school to be learning. There are plenty of great articles, books, podcasts, and audio programs out there.

When my health took a dive in February I had to make the decision to take better care of myself. I have learned better eating habits and have been exercising regularly.

I could keep going, but I think you get the idea. 2008 has been the year of change.
