Today is the last Sunday of the year, and my first post on blogger. As a Christian, I am expected to have attended the last Sunday of the year. Most people around me did, and they look at me with bewilderment when they find out that I didn't attend any church service today.
With each look from a new face, I remember how I have gotten to where I am today. I remember vividly my last prayer for the year 2013. I spent that last day in the church, not really waiting for the countdown and when to light my bangers(knockout) like most youths of my age do. I actually spent it praying and asking God to lead me onto the next year. I actually resolved to be consecreted to God in the coming year. To serve him and participate in church activities as much as I can in the new year
Ok, 2014 came , and 2014 is going and I can count the number of times I attended a church service apart from a funeral service and a wedding ceremony. I can't even remember participating in any sort of church activity whatsoever. So, I ask myself, what went wrong? Why couldn't I honour my resolve. Why did I allow this particular one to go down the drain like every other new year resolution? Why is it that I tend to fail especially whenever I resolve (at the end of a particular year) to do something. Maybe, I am not just good with the resolution something, it's just not my thing.
Nevertheless, on this year's 31 night , I have resolved never to resolve to do anything in the new year. I am not going make any new resolution. I would seek to find a plan in planlessness, even as I am saying this I remember what I learnt in school, that who fails to plan, plans to fail. But, I am not going to take heed to that cliché this time. I will not plan, perhaps I will not fail either.
