Oh My Beloved 2012!

Oh my beloved 2012!!!
How I have waited patiently for you!
And you have arrived
Now listen and let me speak to you:

I know you bring with you many challenges and troubled times
I know you have been touted as the year to watch out for… for all the wrong reasons
Even Hollywood has had one or two things to say about you in recent times (just ask John Cusack)
Oh well!
The British Prime Minister said you’d be a tough nut to crack
The German Chancellor heralded your entrance with a grim face
Every economy is worried about you
And here I sit; grinning, almost asking “What’s all the fuss about?”

So while I sit, I beckon you, nay, I summon you to sit too and listen to me speak to you:
My name is Joseph Iregbu and I’m a son of promise!
I don’t do pessimism. I believe. My faith compels and inspires me. And this is what I believe: You will be a great year for me… a year of greatness, 3-fold grace and glory!!!
Listen dude, let’s cut out all the unnecessary drama!
I know you’ve come with some tough times but not for me.
The One who created and controls you already told me everything will be alright for me.
So simply unpack your bag, sift through and download all my goodies. And let me know if you need a hand. As you do, oh 2012, I promise you we will both have a nice time. Seriously, you will enjoy me!!!

My beloved 2012, I’m done speaking for now.
And before you ask, no you don’t have the right to say anything. Just do as I’ve told you.
All enquiries should be directed to The Architect of Time… He sent you to me!

Thanks for your cooperation. Oh, did I say how much I already love you?

Yours truly,

Joseph Iregbu
