2008: The Year of Change

| No Comments Share

David Andrew Wiebe reflects on 2008, the "year of change". For Wiebe, this meant a closer relationship with God, learning to take better care of himself physically, and making a decision to continue learning and trying new things. The resulting experience was one of many changes.

2008 has been one of the most intense years in recent memory. I've had my fair share of challenges, obstacles and trials to overcome. I've made a lot of changes in my life for the better. I feel like 2008 has been the year of change.

The most important change has been my relationship with God. I feel like it has really been strengthened in the last year. I've never spent more time reading, listening to audio programs, sermons, and podcasts in my life. Without a doubt I still have my fair share of challenges. But I truly believe that God has good things in store for me, and I have better expectations for life.

This has had a significant impact on my personal relationships and how I interact with the world. I've seen my friends rise to new levels in their lives, ready to take on new challenges; ready to take ownership of their current situation and willingness to do something about it. Of course, I can't take credit for that. God has been doing a lot of work in their lives as well.

I've been learning a lot. I've decided that education doesn't end with High School or College. I've decided to continue my education, and I believe that this will be a lifelong process. You don't have to be going to school to be learning. There are plenty of great articles, books, podcasts, and audio programs out there.

When my health took a dive in February I had to make the decision to take better care of myself. I have learned better eating habits and have been exercising regularly.

I could keep going, but I think you get the idea. 2008 has been the year of change.
