Forgetting wat lies behind

One of the things that I have been truly blessed in year 2004 is my members. Over the past one year, I've truly grown to be rather attached to my members. I enjoy the times spent with some of them. God has used each of them in their unique ways to encourage me especially when I am down and out. Through the youth camp and the past one month, I've come to be so assured that I am valued by most of them... The little gestures of appreciation from them, the prayers that they smsed me and the thoughts from them really cheered me on. In some ways, i may have failed them, yet I am very blessed by the grace that they've shown towards me.

It's the grace of God that has led me through the ardous journey in 2004. It amazes me that the thought of giving up has never drove me to put a full stop in all that I had to face. It's not a bad year, though challenging.. haha.. it has create some impact in my life and changed certain perspectives. In the area of surrender, I've come to a place of learning to let go and yield to the sovereignty of God. Guess that is wat all those things that i've gotta walk through in 2004 has to teach me. I've learn to surrender pain to Him. It's painful to face pain and I've got to learn how to... In relationships, there is another changed perspective and I am learning initiative and doing away with passivity.

Think about 2005.... I'm pretty excited yet mixed with some fear element... I do not know wat to expect... well, I am looking forward to the end of the year with greater expectancy instead. Just want to know wat is all that He has prepared for me and His answer to my secret cry this year. I know that it will be a challenging year... The stars will be a constant reminder to me of His promises and i will lay hold on them.
