CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD

Many people have conversations with God in many different ways. For me, I write - since I'm not much of a talker. What others call new year resolutions, I call "my conversations with God"

In this blog post, I share very personal conversations I have with God whenever I turn a new age. I do not have new year resolutions, what I have is my reflections on my birthday. 

I started penning down these conversations when I turned 27 and it has been very therapeutic. When I am unable to achieve all the goals I set for myself a particular year, I carry the goals over to the next year. And trust me when I say, when you write it down, you will do it.

I will make this post a series, sharing from the very first conversation to the most recent one and publishing a sequel to the previous post in 7 days.

Titled "At 27," read this conversation I had with God when I turned 27 (the shortest  of all the conversations) and I hope it guides you to do same. Enjoy!
