Ryan 2007
Posted by Ryan Woods
Matt said something at Renovatus' Sunday gathering today and it got me thinking. He made a comment about how if he could meet anyone he might want to meet himself from last year. Then he could tell himself whatever it was that he should know for the upcoming year. Matt said it more simply and better than that, but it's an interesting idea to contemplate at the beginning of a new year.
Jess and I have had a lot of wonderful memories, made some new friends, experienced a lot of great times, had our second child, and all sorts of other good things. But I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that we refer to 2007 as our year of hell. It was a tough year. It wasn't really hell, but it was rough.
But what would I want to tell Ryan 2007? What would you tell yourself from one year prior, Mr. Blogger 2007? Mrs or Miss Blogger 2008 what insights, ideas, or warnings would you give last years model?
I don't have any good advice thought up. I wish I had thought of something good before I started this blog...nope...maybe I'd say..."Ryan 2007, it's going to be a rough year." That's all I've got so far. I mean, I could add something like..."Jesus is walking with you, don't forget to find him in the dark places." or, "don't worry, you get sleep next year. Trust me." or "Dude, you are lucky to have such a wonderful family, but you probably already know that." or...like I said, I don't have anything good yet. Do you?
