Today's entry will be the highlights of 2007, as much as my brain recalls.

I started off my final studying sem in april, and had a really rough start. God placed me in a situation where I was desperate, and uncomfortable. I had difficult project team mates and working with them upsets me terribly. But, God pulled me through, when I felt so suffocated and helpless.

My 3 best friends went into different stages of their life. One into university, one enlisted into our army and well, the other attached. 2007 was a trying year for my relationships, be it in my spiritual family, my real family, friends and loved ones. Victory over this area came with a hefty price. I was like a hurdle jumper. Only the hurdles were seemingly impossible.

I grew stronger, more independent and a lil wiser in the ways of life. I felt so empty and lost at certain junctures. I just couldnt find joy in me and my heart slowly grew callused. It was akin fighting the war alone. It gets bleak in the game of survival.

In the next season, I entered into my Final Year project. I enjoyed myself in this process, albeit the minor hiccups. Im glad I've met a mentor and friend I really look up to. (Mr. Wong! Who is a christian too!)

Now comes the most exciting part of 2007. I praise God for Cheryl, who really was there to listen to me and the one who gets excited easily and whose disposition is so sunny. In every season we meet different people. Im contented, for I've met you!

To my 3 angels: Caleb, Thia, Yi. Although I believe 2007 was full of trials for us, I thank God that everything is over and done with now. Let us bless the Lord in times of jubilee and praise his name in times of trials. We've definitely been stretched (almost beyond our limits). haha.. But let us stand strong in 2008.

In 2008, the year of rest, I know for sure that more storms will come our way.

For me personally, it's

1. The registration and results for University education. I need to trust God, and place my stakes on Him. My future depends on God!

2. The final 6 weeks of attachment. I pray that I'd be a candle that shines, even if I cannot become a beacon.

3. NATIONAL SERVICE! I know this will drastically alter my life.

4. My family and relationships. This has always been a stronghold in my life, because I hold them too tightly sometimes.

Let me live to give you glory, breathe to give you praise, cos I know I dun deserve your grace, yet you have given it so freely.

Goodbye to 2007, and embrace 2008!
