so!this year. :)honestly, i think it's been the worst and best year of my life.the worst things happened, but so did the best.
i've met some of the best people ever this year, friends i'll keep till we're old and wrinkly like raisins. :Di've learnt a lot this year too. i dunno why i'm even trying to write this out cos it's kinda too much to even put into words actually.but basically i've learnt a lot about life, and i've seen a lot of things i'd never imagined.
some good, some bad,
some ugly, some pretty.
but if i were to focus on just the good, i'm really all smiles, cos this year i've learnt love, joy and peace. :)
i've learnt that life's a lot like taking out trays of freshly baked cookies from an oven.
you carry one out of the oven, and it's piping hot and a whole lot of people are there to eat it with you.
you sit at around a coffee table, drowning your cookies and laughter in sweet cold milk. :)
but i've learnt the thing is, that's not what matters at all.
life's not all about the laughter, the fun and games and fair weather.
it's about the times when you carry out the cookies and you trip and spill them on the floor.
who stays to pick them up with you and has a hand on your shoulder as you reluctantly throw them away.
that matters. :)
it's when you make a mistake when baking and your cookies come out tasting like shit,
who eats them with you anyway, and accepts that you're not a perfect baker.
that matters. :)
it's when they've a choice of much prettier, tastier cookies,
who stays to eat your mediocre ones.
that matters. :)
and then to love still, those who werent there. :)
but anyway, i think the best thing that's happened to me this year has got to be the personal, permanent relationship with God i've gained this year.
He's taught me a lot, and i just wanna keep walking with Him forever and ever. :)
the quiet moments i spend alone with You everyday are so precious to me really, thanks for filling me everyday. :)
so yarpppp this holiday!
i'm not gonna treat it like one, i'm gonna work hard at everything i do.
"work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people."
- colossians 3:23.
and i know i can be focussed enough to do what i want to..
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."
- 2 timothy 1:7
anddd
"For i can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength."
- philippians 4:13
it took me quite long, like till the end of the year, to realise i can control my future and all the devil wants to do is make us dwell on the past, but all we gotta do is let go, let God, and live life the way He meant it to be.
"No, dear brothers and sisters, i have not achieved it, but i focus on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, i press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us."
- philippians 3: 13-14.
we've a good God, all we gotta do is give Him a chance to show it. :)
nette posted it up.
