Out of Curiousity...

How was 2003 for you?
Was it a good/bad year?
Why/why not?
What's next in 2004?

I must say, 2003 was not such a good year for me. Yes I graduated, but one of the worst memories that I'm gonna have is looking out at the audience during graduation and not seeing a single face from my family. I just wanted to cry. (My mom and best friend were there, but it took a while to find them). I also had to let a couple of friends go due to us growing apart and other such heinous things. But, on a semi-good note, I found out the love of my life is single, but we cannot be together due to circumstances beyond our control. Plus, i don't want to be a rebound. Yeah...

Next year:
Full-time employee
Go down two pants sizes
Find a way into law enforcement

2004 is destined to be a good azz year...

The Bad:

I lost one of my closest friends. He started rumors that we slept together!

The Good:

The Lord blessed me with a job
The Lord is blessing my church
The Lord revealed the true friends in my life
I've learned a lot about men this year (why, why, why?)
I've grown closer to the Lord

My goals:

Continue my walk with Christ
Fast the entire month of Jan. from stuff for spiritual growth
Stop using profanity
Study the Word more
LOSE WEIGHT!
Do NOT settle! (remember that too much baggage thread?)
Implement more ME time...working out, rest, reading, etc.
LOVE ALL OF ME!

2003 was ok for me. I had a tough semester in school and a few family problems. But, overall I've been blessed. 2004 is going to be a great year for me!!!! I'll be getting into my forensic studies and I'm going to the Bahamas for Mother's Day!!!!

[Questions404]

My closest relative was diagnosed with a killer disease (still fighting).

I lost my grandmother (now both of them are gone).

I lost my job.

My friend was killed by her husband.

Another friend's husband was killed by someone he knew (in his own house).

It's bound to get better. I'm alive, my parents are alive and I am going to see them tomorrow in another state.

The year 2004 is going to be better. I am not sure what it has in store, but this year was not the best and I doubt that I am going to have two tough years in a row.

[Wonderful1908]

I can't even say 2003 was not a good year after reading the previous posts!

Good
1. Am still here need I say more
2. Got married after 8 years and a whole grown 70 lb six year old later.
3. Was able to pay finally relax financially a little

Bad
Not really anything, I complain way to much but the Lord has blessed me and made a way and I thank him!

Goals for 2004
Go to the gym 3-5 days a week
Read my Bible more
Stop complaining
Save more money and wean myself from the mall
Keep a better more organized house

2003 was a blessed year, regardless of all the 'bad' that happened. Here's a taste of the bad, though:

-Fiancee' and I split up (God still has a plan for me)
-Great-Aunt developed Alzheimer's and was placed in a nursing home
-church dramatically decreased in membership

Here's some good for 2003:

-My music ministry is slowly on the rise
-finished school with my bachelor's degree
-ex-fiancee' and I are patching things up (whether that means getting back together or just being friends is up to the Lord)
-Paid off most of my credit card debt

My goals for 2004:

-Live life to the fullest for the Lord, no matter what the situation may look like (the Lord knows how much I can bear)
-Work even harder on my music ministry and be successful
-Take the LSATs and hopefully get into law school
-Go on to law school with a fullride scholarship for any law school in country does anyone know a good website to look for something like this? Especially for African-Americans?
-get married (whenever it's in the Lord's will, but hopefully this year)

I'm just excited for what the Lord has in store next year. Hey! That's a good slogan, huh? "Watch what God has in store in 2004!!"

[Strive]

not very good.
I left the teaching profession.
I want to pursue a career in screenwriting.
I know I have a long road to climb, but I am willing to take that sacrifice.
