DAWN OF A NEW YEAR

In less then 10 days the year 2009 will come to a close and we say hello to a new year, 2010. A landmark year for many as it's the 1st century of the millenium. I'm sure October 10th next year will be a day filled with ceremonies and many will be booking their engagements or weddings on that date. So how have your pass 10 years been? How was your 2009? Have you achieved what you set out to accomplish, satisfied with what you did this year or are there any regrets?

2009 was a very exciting year for me, a year of learning and new discoveries. Finished the theory part of my physiotherapy course and went off to India for postings in April till October. Think the overall highlight of the year was the trip to India. Learnt so many things while I was there. From studies, to friends and about life. My relationship with God has also gotten closer through those few months. I also got to know a really wonderful girl that only by God's grace may happen and not by chance. A year of ups, downs, lefts and rights. A really mixed year that was.

Looking forward to the new year, can't really predict what will happen in the coming year. Will be finishing my diploma around June, and to decide where to continue my degree after that. Looking at a few places but will wait upon the Lord and see where He leads. Will put my trust in Him also in starting a new relationship and thanking Him just for another day of grace that He's granted. Few verses I'll always keep in mind as I face each day no matter good or bad the outcome.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say, rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men, The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. An the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:3-7

CHRIST-My-Almightly-Saviour

Christmas is just a week away!!! It's that time of the year where Christmas trees are up, decorations everywhere and people rush of to do their shoppings. Tis the season to be jolly, the season for giving! With the Christmas season all commercialized, are we aware of the true meaning of Christmas?

Indeed Christmas is the season for giving and God gave the greatest present to all. He gave His only son for us, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We hear of the Christmas story every year and we sing of it in the carols, but do we really feel it in our hearts? Jesus left all His glories in heaven to walk upon this earth and eventually to die for our sins, so that we may be able to come back to God. He did not just die but He rose on the 3rd day, the grave is empty and we rejoice and serve a risen Saviour!

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whosoever beliveth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17

Do you want a friend who is always there for you? Through your ups and downs and carries you through all your troubles. Someone who promises to guide you through life's journey, walking with you hand in hand through thick and thin. Find you when you stray too far not to condemn but to lead you back to the proper path and shower you with His love. This friend I have is Jesus. He'll always be there for you, all you need to do is believe in Him and follow Him.

The language of Jesus is love,
Just one word can bring healing and life
To each heart that has hungered,
For kindness and truth
Through the trails, and the triumphs of life

The language of Jesus is love,
It tells the greatest story ever told
Such grace and tenderness,
Mere words could not express
The language of Jesus is love.

I'M BACK I'M BACK!!!!

Wheeewww!!! It's been a really long time since I've blogged, the last blog was when I was still in India to be exact. Been running around quite abit since I've got back from India. Didn't stay in a particular place for more then 2 weeks since I've been back and this would continue till the end of the year. Travelling, travelling and more travelling! It's been the usual KL-JB travellings and the 1 week each of the road trip with friends and vacation to South Korea with family. Currently back in JB, going for youth camp tomorrow and back to KL on Sunday.

So, Christmas is just around the corner and we stand at the treshold of another year. This year has been a year of many changes, changes for the good and I can see my life slowly moving forward. Not much of a wish-list for this Christmas but loads of thanks to God for bringing me through this year and all the lessons that I've learned throughout the year. For the wonderful experience in India and His protection.

Most of all I thank Him for bringing someone special into my life. She's like a breath of fresh air but takes my breath away when she smiles or looks at me with those beautiful eyes. She can go on talking for hours but has the cutest laugh that can make you all mushy inside. My prayer will be that God will guide us and bless us as we walk down this road together.

All I want for Christmas is YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! =D
