December is really a happening month, don't you agree with me?

Firstly, it's a holiday month! (and it's my holiday month because soon i will join the pharmacy workforce)

Secondly, most people return from overseas during December and it's the best time to catch up with long-lost friends/ or people you've been wanting to see :)

Thirdly, It's christmas! A time to give, and a time to receive too :)
I had a wonderful christmas this year. First time caroling, and first time being a Santa Claus.



I must say that I've received a lot from the brothers and sisters in church throughout the year, Mei Er and rachel always treat me nice food and bring me nice stuff, leader also always takes very good care of me. So it's time for me to give too, yea, and i truly enjoy the spirit of giving that comes upon me during this december because the smiles on their faces are my greatest rewards, and I know that God's happy with me because I've learnt the homework He has been wanting me to learn and embrace.

Fourthly, it's new year eve and coming of 2009!
A time of reflection of how 2008 has been and counting your own blessings.
It's is because the blessings of 2008 path ways to the resolutions of 2009, at least for me such is the case.
2007 was a horrible year and 2008 has been a peaceful year. Although many times, the problems persist, the weakness is so apparent and unacceptable, making me so miserable at times, I'm glad that I am still alive today. Living by God's grace and promises day by day, and finally my day by day has brought me to the end of 2008. Sometimes we fear about the future, in fact I'm most fearful of future. Things often change, and I'm most resistant to changes. But my greatest comfort is that God's an unchanging God, so no matter what changing situations/people I was made to encounter this year, I'm glad that I was still able to pull through them by faith.

God never fails, and He never will.
Problems come, but problems will resolve too.
Like the Israelites, the Red Sea existed so that it could be opened up and pathed a way for them, and killed the thousands army that prosecuted them.
If God gives you a problem, He is to solve it.
That's my greatest consolation because i know that I will not be weak forever.
I have my brothers and sisters in christ, caring siblings, good friends and most importantly, God's words - the covenants which He made with us using His entire life.

Be courageous.
