Huhm, this year seems to be in a race. Come to think of it, we are already in the last quarter of the year. I didn't even know until I began seeing some posts on the Internet about ember months. It is well, though, looking back now, I must say it hasn't been easy. At the beginning of the year, I had a lot of plans, a lot that I thought should have been sorted by now, and while the others can still be almost sorted, it's saddening how a lot of it is still hanging. Some I haven't even touched or started. And I can't help but ask if I am really making any progress. But then, I remain grateful to God as He still remains the reason for this season. Because I know if not for Him, I wouldn't have made it this far.
I have been tested, but then I scale through. There are times I felt so stuck, as if I was just being stagnant in a position. Someday I will share some of it. This year has really shown shege, but then...it is well. Let's talk about NYSC. I finished school over a year ago and registered for NYSC this year in April. I was supposed to have gone there since then, but they kept on delaying. Not only that, but I should have been in my place of primary assignments by now, while planning other things, but here I am still waiting. At first I thought it was just a little delay and didn't get myself busy with some things, but now it has turned into months, and it has left me frustrated. It's not easy, as time waits for nobody. I was eager to go, to start something, but then, it is well, just this afternoon I got to know we would be going towards this month's end.
Not as if it had been disappointment all through, nope. There have been good things and testimonies along the way. I have kept myself busy with things, learned some skills, and picked up some little hustle jobs. Also, I've learned to lean on and trust God more, even when everything around me screams NO. I've also been able to learn a few things, build some little stuff, and run some charity work in my own little ways, and even though they aren't big achievements, they have shaped and built me and kept me going and growing.
Just a few months to the end of the year, and I can't really say; a part of me wants this year to just keep running and end fast so I can start 2026 afresh, but then, another part of me is there believing and holding on to God that things can still turn around, that a miracle can happen. I know I have been able to do some things. I was glad I could put smiles on people's faces in my own little way, but then, it seems I wanted more. Not only that, but I don't want to see 2025 as a wasted year. Before December comes, I trust God to do something, and I believe a breakthrough is on its way.
How has the year been for me? It wasn't easy at all. Do I have unachieved goals? I have a lot of them, but then I believe I will get it done. Am I looking forward to anything? My story is just starting, so yes, I am looking forward to a lot of things. I trust and believe that I will end this year with gratitude and step into the coming year (2026) with gladness.
All pictures are mine.
