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!!!
