2006 - A Year of FAITH
This is the year that I would never forget.
It is God's faithfulness.
When I think about it, I know it is God's faithfulness. It's His grace and His mercy.
The year didn't start out well because of the course I was in. Those were tough 4 months. But God brought me through. Thank You Jesus!
The year didn't start out well because my grandmother passed away in October 2005 and my Dad didn't come back to Singapore for Chinese New Year. I would never forget the loneliness and boredom. I would never want to experience that again. Thank You Jesus!
The year started out with my brother's wedding banquet in Malaysia and a week after in Singapore. It made me realise that I love my family VERY much. Thank You Jesus!
After which was my graduation. My Dad came back for my graduation, but I didn't see him after I came out of the auditorium. I realised that I missed him. But I finally graduated. Thank You Jesus!
I went to China for my first mission trip. There, I experienced the anointing of God. There, I experienced that calling God has for me. There, I made precious friends. There, I saw the greatness and the holiness of God. Thank You Jesus!
Then I came back and it was Emerge 06. New songs, new anointing, new vision. The presence of God was never stronger than that. Destiny is what God has for me. He already planned my life and I am all His. Thank You Jesus!
First Taiwan Emerge. I was in Taipei for 2 whole weeks. Probably the only one who stayed so long in Taiwan after their first Emerge. It was really a time of impacting lives. But for me, it was the period when I made a very important decision. If not to me, it was to God. I saw how God's hands move in our lives. It must be God's way of showing me His will. Thank You Jesus!
Back in Singapore, I struggled with emotions. But He is faithful. I was delivered through a revelation. Thank You Jesus!
Having graduated, I had to start thinking of my future. Business was what I prayed for the whole year. It didn't happen until recently. I tried other jobs. Teaching vocals and keyboard in a music school was something I had never dreamt that I could do. Thank You Jesus!
The first time I wrote a heartfelt email to my Dad. Tears and heartache. Love and acceptance. I'm totally grateful. Thank You Jesus!
The second major decision I made this year. I love N250. I transferred to W391. It was a whole new experience. God has even greater plans for me. Thank You JEsus!
Transitions, transitions, transitions. New cell group, new people, new friends. It was God's purpose for me. I met Adam. He was a source of support, and he will always be my source of support apart from God. Thank You Jesus!
Indeed, the latter rain is greater than the former. Last three weekend services of the year was full of the presence of God. I could just sense Him touching me. I could just sense Him assuring me. I could just sense Him loving me. I teared and I loved. Thank You Jesus!
2007 is going to be a totally different year. Thank God for 2006. I can't bear for 2006 to be over, yet I can't wait for 2007 to come. Cos I experienced God SO MUCH this year. I have to trust that I'll experience Him EVEN more next year.
Its just less than 4 hours and it'll be a new year.
I just really want to thank God for His goodness and what He has done in my life.
I wish everybody a great 2007!!!

他和他 (Part 2)
God made Adam and Eve.
God made Adam from the dust of the earth and breathed His life of breath into Adam.
God made Eve from one of Adam's ribs while Adam was asleep.
He's like the Adam whom God has made.
While he was asleep, God was making me in the process. He was making me to be a person that I am today, and He will continue to make me the person He wants me to be.
The breath of God flows from him to me.
He was an identity to that rib that God took.
I'm like the Eve whom God has made for him.
When God took that rib from him to make me, I become part of him.

I'm like the Eve whom God has made for him.
When God took that rib from him to make me, I become part of him.
I am so like him because I was made from his ribs. (Not literally ok? Just an expression/analogy/comparison.)
Part of me completed him because whatever was in that piece of rib was me.
===================================================================
What I want to say here is that what happened to us was predestined and planned. Adam and Eve was the evidence and the confirmation.
I like him because we are so similar. And I like him because we are so complementary to each other.
He's not exceptionally good looking (but he's got relatively small eyes, so its ok. haha!), and I didn't know about his family background.
It doesn't matter.
It wasn't love at first sight. It was prayer, revelation and decision making.
It wasn't just passion and emotions. It was friendship and understanding.
It happened when both of us weren't even thinking about it. All was in God's hands.
And I love God even more than ever before. I experience the love of God more than ever before.
No wonder everybody yearns to get attached and eventually get married. God made all of us like that. Unless He gave the gift of celibacy.
Wish all my friends a very happy Christmas (12 days!) and Merry new Year!
Babies
Refer to: http://www.silentanguish.blogspot.com/ December 17 entry.
That baby is really pretty.
I didn't used to like babies. I find them irritating, until my niece and nephew was born. Indeed, babies are God's gift to us. A way of saying "I love you" to us.
Will be blogging about 2006 soon...

Unexpected
The song on my blog is sung by my friend, Xi En *玺恩*.
I think its a nice song. The mtv has video shots taken in Israel. The last time I went to Taiwan, I met up with her and she told us the amazing things that happened in Israel. Its a long story. Maybe when I have the time, I'll try to tell you those stories.
Anyway, she's my friend and she just launched her album last month, in Taiwan. Good job! I like the other song called "Fashion Maker". Music by Jay Chou and Lyrics by this very talented guy Chao. It talks about wearing your own clothes, and not others. I think that song really got standard one. Haha!!
So if Xi En ever launches her album in Singapore, please support her and buy ORIGINAL. I will ok? And btw, I think she's one of the coolest friend I've got. Wahaha!! Her blog link is on the left hand side of my blog. Go check it out! There are some MTV clips and many many photos.
Have a great day!
