As the year is approaching the end, I suddenly realize that I will be missing 2008 so muchhhh!!!! This is such a strange concept to me!!!! You will miss the time which has past, but you don’t usually miss what is going to pass!!!! But yeahhh, this year is such an important year to me, with so many things happened, all of which had huge IMPACT on my life!!!! All of it revolves around God, my dear savior, my closest friend, my everything!!!! Through Him, I see the world! Through Him, I have been changed!!! And I discovered myself all over again!!!! Now I really understand that there’s no way for me to express my thanksgiving to Him!!!! JUST SIMPLY AWESOME GOD, who promised to be with me forever and always to the very end of the age!!!! I’m thankful that as I grow in the Lord, I come to Him with a more thankful heart and more open and honest and humble and repenting attitude!!!I’m thankful that though I fear God, I talk to Him like a friend! And I come to Him simply as who I am, with my own weaknesses, my envies, my troubles, and my unforgiveness!!!! For I know He accepts me for who I am, He embraces me no matter what!!!! And the most amazing thing is that I can only experience His transforming power and renewing strength when I let Him in every single room of my heart!!!! None of us is perfect, and that’s why we need God so much in our lives!!! Only He can really really accept us for who we truly are, and from that build us up with His solid foundation of the Word and guide us through with the Holy Spirit!!!! God, I just pray that You will help me to love You even more each and every passing day!!! For everything else will naturally spring from the love for God!!!! Just increase my capacity to love you Lord!!!
Actually there are many things I feel like reflecting upon but I don’t know where to begin! It’s really like a mess in my head now!!!haha!!!So I think a better idea can be reflecting upon the people who have made my year!!! Because, they are the ones, who have made all the things (which I wanted to reflect on) possible!!!!!
My parents:
One word I have is REGRET!!!! I really feel that this year I had much less time to talk to them!!!! And the fact that I received Christ without their permission sometimes made the situation worse!!! I still remember all the heated arguments, all the time I cried feeling this great sense of hopelessness and disability to explain to them how much God meant to me!!!! But as I tried so hard to explain the position of God in my life, God reminded me How much they meant to me as well!!!! I could just conveniently go on with my own belief without trying to make them understand!!!But I dint want to make them worried! I didn’t want them to lose trust in me!!! I want them to be deeply involved in my life though we are very far apart!!! How could I not share with them the deepest joy in me!!!!My parents, they are JUST TOO PRECIOUS to be left behind!!!! At the end of the day, all my struggles just make me discover one simple fact that I REALLY REALLY LOVE THEM even when they cant understand for me!!!!And for that, I will never give up telling them about God in a patient and respectful manner!!!After all, I dont really have that many chances to talk to them, so I want all the conversations with gentle words!!!!I cant stand quarelling with my parents cos it will leave me in a state of Badly regretting after a while!!!! I suddenly miss them badly!!! Pray for their health and happiness for next year!!! My dad should SERIOUSLY stop smoking!!!I’m very scaredddd!!!!
Jessica ChinChow the SuperWoman my dearest Sister In Christ:
I feel blessed+grateful to have known her!!!!I really cant imagine how this year would be without her as my soooooo dearrrrrr friend and sis in the Faith!!!!She is really living out to glorify God's words, in every single thing she does, in all the encouragement she gives each and everyone of us, and even in her thoughts and struggles, and even in the way she humbly admits her limitations with God!!!!I'm just tooo blesseddd!!!!And without her, I dont think I can grow this much in the Lord!!!!Jesssss!!!!!You are this really amazing gift to all of us!!!You cant imagine how you have been to me!!!!I'm running out of words (should chech the Right words now!!!)!!!!But whether you can serve next year or not, I dont think its a problem!!!Just ask God, and do things which will grant you the peace from within!!! I remember last time you ranked peace as the top priority for you rite!!!Yeah, peace with God, peace with your parents, and peace with yourself from within yeah!!!!I love you loadssss Jesssss!!!!And I pray that God will give you PEACE Jesss!!!!You will be able to take it and endure!!!!
Sher the PRincess of God/XiuXiu/Dawny Cheng:
My ultimately wonderful classmates!!!!I wouldnt have such a fun+fulfilling J1 without them!!!!!I know XiuXiu wont like it, but i may not stay in SIngapore!!!!I have very mixed feelings about the idea itself, half want to stay here (there are just too many things to miss!!!!too many people!!!!after all, I practicall spent 3 years here!!!!), half want to experience new environment elsewhere if i have the chance!!!!Yeah!!!!And as 2009 is coming, the time for me to decide is nearer!!!!I know it depends on many other factors, but just wondering if i have a choice, what should I do????Haizzz!!!!Sadddd!!!!But we will just focus on J2 first!!!to make it a really unforgettable year!!!So that even if I'm leaving Singapore next year, I will not have to regret, and all the memories saved up these few years will pull me through!!!!Love them loadssss!!!!!I really think we should have a gathering when we are like 30 years old!!!!I will bring my kids and my dogssss!!!!haha!!!!
To be continued tmr....
