OUR YEAR IN REVIEW

OUR YEAR IN REVIEW

This post is dedicated to each and every reader of mine, who helped to make the 2016 Changing the Status Quo journey a memorable one. Here is a recap of the memories we had together, and I hope you will be blessed by it.

The New Year begun with so much hope and excitement, coupled with the uncertainty of the unknown. There were many labels attached to the year, such as My Year of Glory, My Year of Influence, My Year of Restoration, among others. CTSQ always had a way of summing up each experience we had, and this year would not have been the same without people like you.

There were times when we felt like we were going through a DRY LAND where things were not going according to plan. However, we did not lose sight of the fact that we were still capable of creating a RIPPLE EFFECT wherever we found ourselves, whilst being a CARRIER of hope and love wherever we went.

Various events throughout the year also reminded us of our need to appreciate the fact that we are Ghanaians for a reason, as we heard in GHANA’S CRY. We were also blessed with family, friends and people who served as VALUABLE MIRRORS through which we learnt important everyday lessons. Though things were not always easy, the AUTHENTIC LOVE we share made our lives much warmer, renewing our hope that we have a FIELD OF PLAY on which we can achieve our hopes and dreams. In working towards our goals, our belief was renewed that through us, Ghana can become the STAR OF THE WEST she is destined to be. When circumstances even threatened to discourage us, we held on to the power we have to CREATE OUR WORLD with our words and the right attitude.

In being the best we could be, there were times when we needed to look BEYOND THE SHINE to what truly mattered…a genuine heart. The year was certainly a LONG HAUL, but our efforts eventually paid off. Along the line, we took some time off for some REFLECTIONS THROUGH THE RAIN, being reminded that even during the BUMPY RIDE of life, we still have one another and above all God; there were still some valuable lessons we went home with.

The ride was much easier because we constantly remembered to say a PRAYER; and as a result, the BLUES we sometimes felt as the GHANA MAN were much easier to handle.

There have been many blessings in disguise this year, like we saw in CAR TROUBLE…OR BLESSING? Including the ELECTIONS witnessed THROUGH MY EYES, which were a stark reminder of how blessed we are as Ghanaians. We ended on a warm note, through A LITTLE LESSON ON LOVE which reminded us that we can make others’ lives better with just a simple act of love.

We do not know what the year 2017 holds, but I do know that we are still alive for a purpose, and the world is waiting to be impacted upon by us. There is a song that encouraged me throughout the year, which basically says:

There’s a race I must run,

There are victories to be won

Give me power, every hour

To be true.

It is my prayer that in the coming year, we will remain true to our purpose, which includes being a shining light wherever we find ourselves.

Changing the Status Quo could never be half of what it is now without you, and for that I say a big thank you and God bless you! May whatever talents you have within make a difference in the lives of others far and near. I know we are going to have a great 2017 together, God willing!

Stay blessed and Happy New Year in advance!
