If there is one thing I have grasp in 2007 is that God's grace is ALWAYS sufficient for me to meet my daily needs. There are nights when I literally cry & ask God "Why?" or even tell God that I am really feeling very tired. Sometimes in the hustle & bustle of life, I even wondered, very often, where is my joy? What is my life purpose? Have I lost it? Is it hidden? Yet, my Father has remained so faithful even when there are times that I am faithless. Lighted my path, refreshed me daily, protected & guarded me. I know I can totally trust that He will meet my daily needs - be it at work, with family or with myself.
2007 has her fair share of tears indeed. It, too, has its fair share of joy!! (1) 2007 is a year that I celebrate friendships. Close friends got closer. People whom I do not seem to know very well, I am a step closer. (2) In 2007, I also got to know myself a tad bit more. Which also means that I am STILL a work-in-progress. (3) 2007 IS also the year that I hit my big 3-0. Being 30 does mean a lot of me. On the top most list, being 30 means that I get tired easily too. Going the extra mile takes a little more effort (actually, I don't know is it my age or my job that makes me tired. Either way, I think it's co-related). (4) Starting my career as a social worker in 2006, in 2007, there is one year of sufficient time to hear unsuccessful & successful stories from people (professionals & clients alike) we work with. (5) 2007 also means that I "lost" my beloved younger sister to a Mr Ng. (6) Most importantly, it is also a year that I really learn what family is all about. I learn what it means to be there for my family when needed. Like how I celebrate friendships, I celebrate family ties too. I learn how to express myself better with my parents. I learn how to empathize & I really enjoy every moment I get to spend at home. Contrary from what I was before.
I do not know what God has in plan for me in 2008 but I have in mind plans that I would like to put in place. For this, I shall share in 365 days time (I hope I remember to blog that).
Ending this entry at 11:45pm. Below's 3 pictures of how I ushered in 2008 - with a new outlook.
Cheers!!!!
This is the before pictures of my 2 dogs - filled with hair. Sent in for full grooming at 10am. Collection time is 4pm.
That's how sister & me spent 6 hours - Lunch, shop at Far East Flora for hand bouquets & a new outlook for me. (At this point, I must commend my sister's patience! She waited for me 3 hours with no whines & complains! Really gonna miss her a lot when she flies.)
This is how 3 of us looked at the end of the year - WELL-groomed with a totally new outlook!!
