Post Christmas and Preparing for 2009
Monday, December 29, 2008 |12:16 AM
As the years goes by, Christmas & New Year Parties seems to be getting quieter year by year.
In fact, over the years, i 've kinda of lost interest in going for christmas & new year clubbing. I actually much prefer to celebrate these occassions with family and close friends. Are these signs of aging? I certainly hope not! Anyway, i've an exciting Christmas 2008. Many wonderful gifts, though my wish list ain't fulfilled but i ain't disappointed. The gifts given to me are special and i really feel each gift is a thoughtful one, though it may be small/ just even a simple card. In fact, a simple card, a few words can bring a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. Before i continue, i would certainly love to show case some of the pressies i've gotten even after Christmas..
Well well, now that christmas mood is over, i'm sure everyone is as excited as I am to enter into a brand new year. I am excited because a new year means a fresh start. To me, 2009 is going to be exciting. Its going to be exciting year, new beginning with the Lord! So... in 2009, I want to:
~ have 1 more sheep
I remembered when i was approached to take on a sheep this year, my heart was willing but i was more fearful. But now, i really feel happy that i can be an influence in someone's life and i can have this privilege to look after God's flock.
~bring at least someone to church
It's fearful when i first started asking someone to church. But now as i ask, it gets easier. People in my list includes my cousin (esther), my friend (charlene). I really hope to see transformed lives in 2009.
~continue to exercise regularly and eat healthier
I've started a regular exercise regime in 2008 by swimming 2 times a week and 500 daily hula hoops and i hope to continue this in 2009. By having a healthier body, it gives me more energy and a better outward appearance.
~excel in my current workplace
i am loving my job and happy where i am. Just months ago, i was contemplating whether i should move to Macau but i am glad i didn't go. I thank God for putting a stop to my plans and He gave me a much better place. I hope to learn more things, take up more responsibilities and be a influencer to people around me.
~have a soul mate
after lessons learnt and burdens release in 2008, i think i am more ready to have a soul mate in the coming year. but this will only come after the 1st QTR of 2009. In fact, i don't wanna rush God even if i don't have 1 in 2009. Let me trust Him that He will intervene at the right place at the right time. Never early, never late.
oh...i am now getting all excited for 2009!!!!
Next up, while i was packing my cards the other day, i packed all my cards into this box..i shall call this "my precious box" because it contains all kinds of cards -> birthday, farewell, christmas, new year etc.
