Year 2008

As year 2008 draws to a close, I like to spend time reflecting on the past year and what the Lord has blessed me with.

I recall at the start of the year, making some resolutions. Year 2008 My 2008 resolutions were:
I resolve to:
1) grow in His faith
2) spend quality time with my family and friends
3) keep fit by scheduling jogging/gym/tap-dancing (Yes, I finally decided to continue/restart tap-dancing) into my timetable
4) improve my nutrition knowledge
5) be patient

I believe I have accomplished all of them, if not most.

Going to New Creation Church saw my faith grow as I feed on His word. I made godly friendships that is going to last a lifetime. I served the Lord out of an overflowing heart, praying to be blessed and be a blessing to those around me. I love it how Pastor Prince shared about having a vertical relationship with the Lord where our blessings come from and from there, we share a horizontal relationship with those around, being a blessing to them because of the blessings that we receive from DaddyGod. So precious! Thanks Soph for being "persistent" in bringing me to church - I believe if I did not take that first step, I would not be where I am now.

Career-wise, it has been a steep learning curve for me. I learnt how to be independent, developing a questioning mindset, becoming firm with the nurses, forging new friendships with different people that I meet in the wards, at the clinic etc. Its been awesome! Also, I saw collegial relationships strengthening, getting to know each of my colleague better since we see each other every day!

Keeping fit to some maybe a pain, however to me, I am proud of ALL the runs that I have completed:
  • Adidas Sundown Marathon
  • Passion Run - 15km
  • Army Half Marathon
  • Nike Human Race
  • GE 10km Women's Run
  • Standard Chartered 21km Marathon
There will be more runs next year and I know, Sophie and my other CG mates will be there too!

So, what am I expecting for the year 2009? I believe it will be the year of Manifested Blessings as Pastor proclaimed. I am believing the Lord for 3 things:
1) Relationship
2) Finances
3) Career / studies

With faith, I believe and I can't wait for these 3 to come to pass!
