2006

first post of the year!

but i'm going to talk about the pain and laughters of 2005 instead =)

it's the year when i got to know new friends such as mingyi, aj, cherleen, karen, elaine, yati, gwen etc and they are a wholesome bunch pf people =D they made lessons more fun and of cos, the do help me in releasing stree when assessment date draws near... with mingyi constantly treating me to food, cher being a superb listener and karen being the joker and elaine and yati for being such fun classmates and gwen, making it okay to speak hokkien/teochew in class - teo boh? the rest of the class is just as fun~ =) and i cant wait to see all of them on tuesday!

it's also a year where i realise where my strong hold was. and it was holding me back from doing my best for the pastorial side. so when image was closed, i wasn't very happy... but it freed me from my stronghold =) i began to enjoy serving my people more and thus building a stronger bond with them in the end. when i took up di2, i was feeling a mix of emotions and taking up new people, again fears set in and insecurity set in too. but through out so many ups and downs, God never fails.

my family became more close knitted one. there was once when i left home for one night (well i left the house and wander around at my void deck~ stupid lah) and in the end, there was a cold war for 1 month but it reminded me of how i was, like the prodigal daughter, my home is where the kwek family is and i'm part of them as well... i came home because i felt lonely and homesick... and we also learnt to care, listened and appreciate each other more and we listened to one another more. now we share almost everything =)

but in all, it's God's love and grace which never fails. as i look back, i've gone through my fair share of trials but i've also received the blessings that comes with it. there's certainly lots more to come in 2006... not only have i been exposed to my carnal nature, but i've learnt to go through God to change and improve. letting go and letting God... the relationship between God and me has definitely become better. i'm striving to become a better armour bearer to God. i pray and hope you all will do the same too. have a blessed year ahead and may you all be filled with joy and peace.

remember... God never fails
