God has really been good in 2006! It wasn't a smooth sailing year for me but still ~ He is faithful and come what may, He is still love. As I was reading the blogs of my lovely angels, the song, Start of Something New, from High School Musical came to my mind. The chorus goes like this:
This could be the start of something new
It feels so right
To be here with You
And now looking in Your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Yupz, it is a secular song but it reflects exactly how I feel towards my walk with God in 2007. Service was great today and it tremendously impacted me. As Pastor preached, I felt in my heart that 2007 will be the best year yet. Yes ~ 2006 has been a great year and 2007 will be even better! Thank God that we move from glory to glory!
2006:
Lost my dearest
Ah Gong during CNY. It was the saddest CNY and one of the saddest point in my life. My dearest one who was with me since the day I was borned. He saw me grow and he was the only one in the family who will reward me for my good results year after year. It was time for him to go and as much as I am unwilling, he had to. Those few months weren't easy but God is good. Through it all, He gave me the strength and love and He saw me through.
Turned 21 in March. There wasn't any huge celebrations but thank God for the lovely ones whom He has placed in my life. My dearest 7even (Joycelyn, Shir, Vel, Xuan, Dawn, Hui, Charis), thanx for celebrating it with me. Though it was just a simple dinner, I really enjoyed myself. Thanx for the denim too! My first denim ever and I love it so so much! My dearest W243, thanx for the gorgeous pair of heels ~ It's so so pretty! My dearest Jon, thanx for the great financial blessings! It was really very precious to me. My dearest all who remembered my birthday ~ I love all of you.
Started my 3 month Professional Attachment at Datacraft. It was an awesome experience! Lynn, Sherly and Ivy ~ It's really my honour to be working under you ladies. Together with the ones from the F&A dept, thank you so much for making my attachment so fun and so fruitful. Thanx for the love and lunches and presents that you gals have showered me with. Not to forget, the HongKong trip was one of the best trips I ever have! You ladies are such a blessing!
August was a huge turning point. Lost a lover but gained a friend. ^_^ Well ~ looking back...The decision is more than a good one but a God one. We have both matured and have emerged stronger! The growth that we experienced was definitely at an accelerated pace. Truly, when we place God first in our lives, despite the temporary heartaches, tears and sadness, He will build our lives in a way that we can never imagine. Friend, I'm so glad we are still friends and I'm even happier to be growing in the kingdom of God and doing God's will with you. You've been a great friend and a great brother. Thank you.
CG has stretched me alot this year and thank God for His wisdom and strength. I've learned to love. Yes ~ Loving people fervently...More than I've ever learned. God has enlarged my love tank. Having BS with Pstr Zhuang has been a real big blessing. Got to know new sisters and brothers that have tremendously blessed me and encouraged me. Yes Clara ~ if you're reading, you're one of them. Thank God for the genuine relationships built.
I'll be promoted to a Team Helper in Nursery next year. Yes ~ Thank You Jesus for the promotion. I believe that it will be a good training and foundation building ground for my calling to serve in CG. I've learned alot from Judy, Auntie Shirley, Linda and Sally. They are leaders that speak forth love. Thank God for them.
Moved back to hostel this year and Alfred, you've really made my stay in hall fun! To my level 4 neighbours ~ thank you! YanQing, it's an honour to be staying beside you too! Thank you for your bright smiles everytime you see me! Engwee mummy ~ Thanx for being my faithful MSN chat buddy! I love ya!
