so there's always a first time for everything, they say. i think this year's the first new year's eve i've spent at home. i honestly i can't the last time i was home on the 31st. there's always something on in church or with my cg...but this year, a combination of factors have contributed to my staying home which i'm thankful for! did the bulk of cg stuff over christmas so decided not to have a stayover as we usually do this year. plus, got home yday and was strangely exhausted, tho i slept most of the 10 hr drive back...figured out why when i finally went to bed feverish last night and woke up with a sore throat. so decided i wldn't push it and stay out tonight...heh so home it is for me this year!i've never been the sort who enjoys the countdown or the crowds or making resolutions...but i love giving thanks! so i'm gonna do that. shall list some of the things that i'm most thankful for this year :)- God's faithfulness - need i say more? i think the rest of the list will testify to His goodness and unfailinng love :)
- family! i can't thank God more for my parents and my stinky brother whom i love to bits. i thank God for the stability&security, unconditional love, and joy this family has provided all my life.
- friends - honestly. they build me up, make me laugh, help me appreciate life so much more, and help learn more about myself, others, and life i guess!
- ok so more specifically, i thank God for amazing people in my life like lav (u've been featured so many times here i don't have to say why u mean a ton to me :)), dhoby, andrew, ade, mich, amu, li yee, angela, ok and so this list could seriously go on and on. so even tho ur name's not here, i hope u know u matter to me! u each have a special place in my heart and i've been incredibly blessed by each of you so i thank God for your love and friendship.
- i thank God for my cg. need i say more? haha so much has already been said. and we had our mini thanksgiving session today so u already know you're special to me : )
- i thank God for the semester that just went by and how much He has shaped me through the friends He's placed to see me thru and how my honours year has finally made NUS count for something. haha
- i'm mighty thankful for the india trip. it really was the best trip i've gone on with friends - c'mon man, for all the drama that went on, all the memories that will last a lifetime, all the chinning, and all else that's come out of it. seriously, almost 6 months have past and we still spent the bulk of the time today talking about it at cedele so that says a lot i guess. heh we'll take some things like nasi lemak and all to the grave lah.
- i thank God for how He blesses me with grades i so don't deserve and how He never shortchanges :)
- i thank God for His wonderful provision in so so many ways all my life.
- i thank God for lessons i've never had to learn till the last 6 months of my life, for how He's been so patient with stubborn me, for how He's brought people along the way, for how He's good, and how i know i can trust Him.
haha ok so yup...that kinda sums up most things i guess. have no idea what 2007 holds but i know He's already there waiting and that i wanna keep in step with His Spirit as He leads me there. have a great new year everyone!! love lots!
