Anddd Now! for the long awaited next post! The new year resolution'09! Lol!
A word from our sponsors!
That word for this coming year is..... You(i.e. I) need to grow in love for people.
As such, in first place for my new years resolution:
1) Carry out practical steps for growth in that area.
- Grow in love for God ->do more QT. Love God love people, you don't love God enough how you love people.
- Widen concern scope. Dun be concerned only for people I wanna be concerned for, be concerned for others also.
And that's 2 simple steps I wanna do this year.
And now in second place:
2) Pull up my CAP by 0.6
3) Eh... start running. (And no this is not a reason for people to jio me to go run.)
4) Save more money. For missions and for a soprano sax. For less spiritual purposes also, like get an iphone and a ps3. Yinglin if I strike lottery or something then I'll get an iphone for you too so you can stop asking for it. Lol!
5)Get a simple pass for IPPT( 11th mar) so that I dun have to do RT.
I think 5 is enough... I dun think I can carry out all. Notice that I've left out losing weight from the resolutions. After 3 years, I've sort of given up on that.

wokay... first day of school and I was almost late. Lol. So not a good start to the new year. Yes my new year is not the 1st of Jan for what I hope will be the next 4 years. It shall be the start of school instead. Haha.
2008 has not been the best of years for me, be it spiritually or academically. Sure there are definitely good points about it. But there have been a lot more weeds, regrets and such, than there have been flowers.
Flowers first.
Think one of the best thing that happened to me spiritually was during the JUMP concert. That was the time when I saw the glimpses of Heaven when I was on stage. It was really something to see the endless stream of people coming through the arched gates for the purpose of coming to worship God. And to see be able to see the thousands( looked like millions) of hands raised in adoration to God, united by Jesus, is really to see how heaven would be like.
Another thing was to be healed by God's grace during the healing rally. Although it was not yet a full healing of my backache, the very fact that I felt less pain after praying was a miracle in itself. I had actually been pretty skeptical about miraculous healing despite reading or hearing about it. But after seeing the healing rally during that Thai camp, it gave me faith enough to trust in God for healing. And by the grace of God I experienced it during the healing rally. That really helped to boost my faith.
I was also blessed by God when it comes to some relationships( by relationships I mean friendships:P) this 2008. I really thank God for placing good friends in my life at the most crucial times so that I would not stumble because of the circumstances around me. Especially people like Alvin and Yinglin. Lol. But no thanking anyone on this blog this year. If not I got nothing to write on the bday card.
But despite all the blessings that I've received. This year has been pretty stagnant spiritually. A better description would have been going over the mountains and valleys. Or roller coaster. As many times I've experienced growth, I've also gotten a lot of set backs that brought it down a little. Resulting a whole load of problems which I still don't really wanna go into....
Haha. I think I shall continue this another time. Emo le...
Up next, new years resolutions.
