On the Cusp of Turning 27

I turn 27 tomorrow God willing. While I'm doubtful that I'll experience something dramatic overnight that'll make me feel or know that I've turned 27, I'm excited nonetheless at what the new year will bring. I tell most folk that after turning 25 life took a steady pace, one in which I was more cognizant of my environment and gauge my maturity from my youthful ways and thought. My 26th year was quite eventful as well (see blog "This is a New Year for love, Love in the Future"). The wonderful thing about having a birthday so close to the new year is that rather than joining the rest of the world in declaring a New Years resolution, I can simply make declarations in my 27th year. So this year I've got a few things on my agenda and I figured I'd mention them here to keep me honest and you informed as well. Do understand that these are in no particular order. I had originally intended to try and amass 27 goals but that's a far stretch lol.

• Get my own place. 
• Learn to cook meals other than breakfast lol.
• Join a gym or fitness center of some sort out here in NYC. The kid has put on a few pounds smh. 
• Be consistent in my tithes and offerings to God. 
• Open a 401K and make the highest contribution possible.
  Go to professional sports game. I've never done that in my 26 years. 
• Become a better Bible student. 
• Learn to really play bass. Yes I know this has been on my list forever lol. 
• Visit Haiti. 
• Visit another country. 
• Attend an opera or show on Broadway. 
• Walk across one of NY's bridges. 
• Be baptized in the Holy Spirit with the manifestation of speaking in heavenly tongues. 
• Visit a few museums. 
• Step up my wardrobe (once the pounds are shed of course). 
• Enter in a relationship with the woman who's to be my wife. Yea that's a big one y'all lol. 
• Visit my bro in Cali. 
• Read and blog more. I've been taught since grade school that in order to be a better writer one must be well read. 

That's all I've got for now folks! Gotta brace myself to undertake these things with the understanding that I can only do so by God's grace as I'm not guaranteed tomorrow. To Him be all glory, honor and praise forever. Amen.
