The year is finally coming to an end and I know for a fact that I am guilty of a lot of things, which is very bad but I promise to make up for everything next year. I am also very happy because I have made a resolution that next year is going to be different, I remember how I started this year, I started this year with so many promises, and one of the promises I made to myself this year was to never miss Sunday service, never miss Sunday school, and lastly never going late to church, and even with all the promises I made to myself, I still found myself breaking them all at one point in time for one or two reasons…
Ever since my mum got a job in a different city, everything about me has changed, I won’t say it changed totally for the worse oh, but I think it changed for the worse to an extent, which is not a good thing, if my mum should find out about what I am sharing now, she will be very furious with me and my elder brother, which is why I have decided to change for the better starting from next year, I don’t want to be a bad boy again, I want to live a good life and be a good example to other children…
I can’t count the number of times I have missed church this year, well it’s not that much but I am sure it’s more than 5 Sundays, to some people this is not a bad thing, but in my family it is a big crime, it is punishable offense, my mum has never missed church even when it rained cats and dogs, but now that is in another city, we have been doing however we like…
Missing church services, missing Sunday schools, and even lateness is all what I am guilty of this year, the funniest thing is that last sunday I still missed Sunday service for silly reasons, I know I am a sinner, which is why I never stop asking forgiveness of sins, the truth is that my mum must never find out about this truth, it will 365 days of counseling and prayers…
Last week Sunday marked the end of all the wrong things I have done this year, this is mainly in term of Sundays, I have made up my mind to do better, there is no going back to it again, because old things are past away and behold all things are now new…
In summary, the things I have done for the last time this year is missing Sunday service, Sunday school and also lateness to church, I won’t be doing it again, I might have changed for the better…
WOULD I GO BACK TO MY OLD WAYS AGAIN IF I HAD THE CHANCE???…
Jokes apart, I have always been a very active member of the church I attend, but after some things, I noticed some bad changes in me which wasn’t there before, I never saw it as something huge until I started doing it and it slowly started growing into habits, it was at this point I knew something was wrong somewhere, and ever since then I have been steadfast in asking for divine guidance, which brings us to the question of the day…
Having the chance to do what I did in the past, would I do it again?, the answer is a resounding NO, I won’t do it again, I have no reasonable excuse to give in that aspect, but I know I am guilty, which is why I have made up my mind to do better…
THE WHY???….
I won’t be missing church, I won’t be missing Sunday school, and lastly I won’t be going to church late again, starting from next year, and this is because Sunday school is whole highlight of the service, and any teaching missed is like a blessing being tossed into the ocean, I also don’t want my mum to be upset with me for missing out on church and I also don’t want be a bad boy anymore…
In summary, 2024 is going to be a different story by God’s grace, I have made my new year resolution and this is one of it; never missing a Sunday in any month…
In conclusion, last Sunday is the last time I will be missing church, I will try to do better than before, and I hope my efforts get crowned…
