And now my second decade in this dance called "Life" begins. I can't believe how much has changed over the past one year. I know for sure that I'm a different person.
God has certainly opened the eyes of my heart, and has challenged and altered my views on many things. Through the ups and downs, He has always been there. Though the road was filled with sorrow, He helped me overcome it all. There is still so much more to learn and experience, and many more wonders about the Lord that I still am yet to know. Yet He has revealed so much of Him to me this year.
In this year, I've experienced such a great life in New Zealand; formed many wonderful bonds that I'm confident will last for a lifetime; started, endured and finished 1st year of university and realising that maybe I am cut out to be an accountant (just maybe); joined a lifegroup and met people who are now like family; joined ICF and now became part of the committee; greatly increased my love for music and the beauty of the beach; ate so much ice cream and chocolate cake (I've eaten more than I've ever had in my entire life); developed a liking for coffee (mocha in particular), sushi and bubble tea; managed to live in a small congested room with a great roomate in a crazy, sex-and-alcohol driven hostel; realised how absolutely wonderful Jesus is and the lessons that He has taught me; fell in love; got heartbroken and yet still 'plodded' through because Jesus heals the broken hearted; improved on playing the guitar but I still have a long way to go; became crazy about Jars of Clay, Jack Johnson and John Mayer, and have sudden urges to dance when I listen to some of their songs...
I'm changed. And hopefully for the better.
Here's to another wonderful year ahead.
