If I had to pick one thing it would be very difficult, however there are some things or principles that I have applied to my life this year that I would say were absent in years before. One of the most important thing that I learned this year was that tithing to my local church, A decision I made a couple or so years ago is something that I want to keep doing despite people who say that tithing is something that they did in the old testament. I even made a video about this a couple of years ago on YouTube but I want to keep this blog sort of free from talking about money but I do want to mention it a little bit. What brought me to the path of being a faithful giver to my local church was a video I believe back in 2011 or so on Vimeo. Another thing that I learned this year was that music is a very important part of my life. I had the opportunity once again this year to sing in the Christmas choir at my church. This isn't something new music is always been a desire of mine but I've never had the opportunity to fulfill those musical aspirations.
I also learned some very very valuable lessons, in managing my assets. A principle that I learned from a Bible seminar on money management years ago. James McDonald from walk in the word and his teachings have proven to be a great help in reminding me that the money that I have does not belong to me but it belongs to God. Other teachers like Charles Stanley and David Jeremiah have proven to be an example for me and my money management. There are not many old time preachers who still talk about the Tithe. Another lesson that I learned this year is that my health is a very important thing being a 40-year-old just turning 41. I've learned to take my mental health and my physical health seriously because I know that there will come a time when what I am doing now will affect my future health. But the most valuable lesson that I learned this year is in the area of relationships.
I've learned to see my fellow human beings as human beings rather then things to be used things to obtain things to accomplish. I've learned to take things in stride and to let the rhythms of life Guide me. I've learned that the glory belongs to the Lord and what he chooses to use you should provide an open channel for his light in his love to flow through you. And as soon as he is done using you to return back to who you are as a human being. I've learned that love is very important. In fact love is the most important thing in my life right now. Aside from letting my conscience being guided by the word of God, i've learned that so long as I am faithful to the things that God has given me, he will intern be faithful to me God that is. I want to wish you all a very happy new year and I hope you had a great Christmas. One last thing I've also learned is that family is very important. But what's most important are the lessons that will stay with you forever. And that comes from the people that have chosen to share a part of their lives with me this year. Add to that principle I will always be faithful God willing Merry Christmas and happy new year. This is Mike.
