The Number Ten
It has been already pointed out that ten is one of the perfect numbers, and signifies the perfection of Divine order, commencing, as it does, an altogether new series of numbers. The first decade is the representative of the whole numeral system, and originates the system of calculation called "decimals," because the whole system of numeration consists of so many tens, of which the first is a type of the whole.

So here we go, 2010! Feels good doesn't it? Even rolls off the tongue easier than 2009. And to top it all off we're already better off than 2012 according to the Mayans and Hollywood. 2010 for me is a year of promise and a year where I personally have nothing left to loose. 2009 left me rather beaten and with some battle scars, perhaps it did you as well, but I find them rather becoming and distinguished if I'm honest. I can say that I've stood up to opposition and having done everything to stand, I stood, and still stand firm.
This puts a certain swagger in my step as I walk into a new year. Not that I claim a confidence in my own ambition, but rather I am confident in who I am and more sure of my calling than ever before. This is something I have to cling to as I know that there will be more obsticles I will have to face, but I now face them knowing that I can overcome them. Be it temptation, hardship, persecution from those close to you (which it usually is) or whatever may come, I now know that I am more than a conqueror through Him who loves me. (romans 8)
So a toast to new obstacles, new adventures, new friends and old friends and everything life can throw at us. May we face them like lions and roar in the face of fear! And may you become the one He has purposed you to be!
