Tuesday, January 02, 2007

today was such a random day. i think i went a lil crazy trying to squeeze so many activities in a day! haha. kenneth msged me at FOUR in the morn saying that the committee dinner was still on, and i almost fainted when i woke up and read the msg cos i was supposed to meet wjn for dinner and we've cancelled like about twenty times. haha AND wonderful kenneth typed the msg wrongly. apparently he missed out the 'NOT' which was an extremely important word. comm dinner is 'NOT' on.

so i rushed to town to meet weibo for lunch before going to church. but the highlight of lunch was not lunch. the highlight of lunch was after lunch after he created this entire story about how he bought me stuff from hk and left it in his friend's car and how we had to go get it and all THEN I REALISED HE PASSED HIS DRIVING AND HAD HIS OWN CAR. what?! after lying to me for 2months that he hadnt booked his test yet. im such a smart girl though i kinda knew heh see how well i know how my silly friends think. haha and so i had a lift to church and i got there in ten mins. dont i love friends who drive ;)

i think 2007 is going to be an amazing year. im just reallyreally excited about ministry and how Bethany is gonna grow in this next year. i've learnt so many new lessons in the past year, and im not about to forget what my all-encompassing new year prayer is: to have greater love. greater love for the Lord, which naturally leads to greater love for others. and to ask, believing that i will receive. (:

after i ran to town again to meet wjn for dinner and was in the middle of telling him about the structure of ypg and all, he commented that Bethany functions in a very different way from other churches and that he wanted to go see. haha. that made me feel very warm inside cos its times like these that i really see the treasure i have in Bethany- not one that im planning to let go of anytime soon! sure, there may be struggles and when youre not walking right you are CONSTANTLY being faced with that reality and forced to deal with it, it ultimately makes you a better, stronger, more grounded individual/Christian. and i think thats really special. (:

and so, as the new year starts, i will learn to be thankful (:

to cherry: thankyou for being there and for growing alongside me this entire year. our friendship is really special and i loveeeeeeeeee you. (:

[sorry only bestfriend gets special mention]

in church, i am thankful for the pastors for feeding us so well with the word of God, the teachers for leading us and counseling us and dealing with all our rubbish problems one by one, riejinglinjusmanwen, the older comm members for teaching me to be wise and showing me how to serve effectively, and of course, the younger ones that have shown me that there is yet hope. (: and have reminded me what child-like faith is really about.

in school, i am thankful for those few friends that've been there for me. some to talk about random stuff together, others to talk about faith and growth, others to mug together and go nuts together. im not mentioning names just in case i get whacked for forgetting someone- that always happens during Christmas. yikes.

and my few darling sc/ac friends that i still keep in contact with.
sc: celmandyrisgeri i loveeeee you.
ac: bobobertjol(1)jol(2)joeycasswjn

so as 2006 closes, i learn to count my blessings. many, blessings. (:
2007- seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (:
