New Year, New Me

The title came to me - this is what I should be writing about at the beginning of a new year, of a new semester. Yet the words that dictate who the 'New Me' will be won't come to my mind. This is partially attributed to the fact that the new year holds so many experiences that are beyond my comprehension. Experiences that will shape me in exhilarating, painful, happy, necessary ways. There will be so many experiences that I can't dream of predicting - which is why I am having a hard time pinpointing who I want the 'New Me' to be at the end of 2017. I think I'm finally at the point where I realize that if I put my trust in God (and even when I stubbornly don't), He will direct and mold me into the person I need to be. So this new year, the new me is going to be up to God. This doesn't mean I will be devoid of goals - the thought makes me scoff. It just means that of all the menial goals I set, the only goal I care to truly achieve - the overarching goal - is always going to be that I'm trusting God and following His plan to get me to be who He needs me to be.

So cheers to a new 2017 Alesha. I'm just as excited to see what God has in mind for her as you are.

As Always,
Alesha

Ps. A quick goodbye to 2016 Alesha (but not the little boy beanie, that's a winter staple).
