BREAK IS ENDING SOON! have you guys enjoyed enough yet?

this holiday has got to be the most fufilling one yet. caught up with so many of my friends and it's just heartwarming to know how even though we ain't in the same class/school anymore, we're still as close... if not closer :')

anyway i think 2011 has been quite a year for me. i don't think i've ever faced with so many obstacles in a single year before but yes, this year i have. but i guess it's a great thing because i've seen so evidently how God is good to me, and how He sees me through every trial i've faced.

Trial - no one really uses this word anymore. people just use "problems" or like "setbacks".. you don't really hear someone coming up to you and say "i'm facing a trial." now but trial has a positive tinge to it. because it means being rewarded after being tested. and setbacks, problems, etc. just means going through a difficult time, and it sounds totally purposeless. like for no reason at all, you're having a tough phase in your life. it doesn't exactly make any sense in a way. but yes. TRIAL. God won't place trials in your life if He thinks you can't handle it.

really learnt about relying on God this year and i'm so thankful for that. there's so many things that i can never do with my own abilities. God has never forsaken me.

2012 will be a challenging year, but i'm ready 8)

p/s i had my very first worship min outing yesterday hehe

1. buffet town for lunch with my famzzzzz
2. i'm stoked to meet G and mela for dinz later
3. i've no idea how to use gmail, someone help please!!
4. my left calf muscle ache from all the tiptoeing
5. i'm a little sunburnt

okBYE!

i love my churchies <3

i must admit that it is getting very exhausting to be out every single day. it might sound like a whole lot of fun to be able to hang out with your favourite buddies but it is tiring too. i need to take a day off from this busyness... but i ain't gonna cancel plans!!

jan 3 onwards - school's going to take a toll on me. hahaha what negativity i have.

pretty zonked out but i can't sleep because i'm waiting for my brownies to be ready...................................... baking at such an hour, what was i thinking??

i was reading my archives on my previous blog when i saw this song. it reminded me of how sacrificial Christ is, and just how ample His love and grace is. God has been so real in my life recently, and i'm just witnessing His works every day in awe.

He loved me, the undeserving.

this season, i'm really learning about depending on God, and believing that His plans are far greater than mine. 'cause as much as i always want to rely on God, i end up counting on my own abilities, which is a far cry from what God can do.

i'm excited for my first jam session, but i've no idea when hahahaha.

G, does this picture disturb you??

anyway, i painted my nails in the spirit of Christmas!

so, today was my first rest day at home ever since break started, although not intended. i was supposed to go for christmas service but i injured (it's just a bruise actually) my left heel last thursday. have been walking (or limping...) around with a tiptoed left foot so much that the balls of my foot feels extremely sore.

though injured, i appreciate this rest day. i have no other breaks for the rest of my holiday but it's FUN ALL THE WAY.

but ANYHOO! FELIZ NAVIDAD GUYS!!! (please let's not forget that Christ is the reason for this merry season!!)

ps 5 minutes before i typed this post, i stood up from my chair completely forgetting that my heel is bruised. the pain inflicted was IMMENSE. and i could feel my heartbeat throbbing there. INSANE!! but i'm fine now hahahahaha

pps that was like a wow long ps.

things i've thankful for this week:

kai's belated birthday gift + card
gone to the greatest exhibition ever - titanic
finished running most of my errands
received a phone call bringing insanely Great news with a capital G
jam session with kel
a new added family member - Stout

have been blessed with such a fulfilling week. going for cantata later:)
