Goodbye 2008, hello 2009!

Last night, we spent our thanksgiving at Yvonne and Vic place with Vic's students. We had our count down at their place. Pretty fun.

Looking back in 2008, I really thank God for his endless blessing and transformation in life. From a trainee to a teacher, from single to engaged, from daughter to future daughter in law. So many changes in life.

I really wanna to thank you Father for blessing me with my dream job and I do complain a lot about my job. Nevertheless, You have blessed me with strength and wisdom to carry on with this job. I really grateful as I really need You to carry me on. Although I'm considered as a BT, ample of opportunities were also there for me to grab on. I know that without your blessing and coverage, these opportunities would never happened. Favour upon people was so great and influential. Most importantly, with your blessing and anointing, Mrs Lim was very happy and open to Iain and I dating together in our workplace.

In 2008, I have been through a rocky path in relationships. I thank You for your wisdom and discerning of the Holy Spirit, which have help me to mature and knowing when to end unfruitful purposes. I'm know that I've sinned against You many times, going against Your will and plans. Knowing that I should no longer holding on to things that are unfruitful, yet I'm refused to let go due to my stubbornness. I thank you for sending people in my life, sharing their experience with me. I know that it's not by coincidence, it's by Your grace and plan. I'm glad that You have never give up on me.

By Your grace and might, I've successfully graduated from NIE. I still remembered how much I have to go through my practicum. Looking back, I'm so blessed by your grace and blessing upon me. You have never short change me in all things. You blessed with the one of the best school in Singapore for my practicum, the best CTs, the friends who I can really depends on. And now, you have the blessed me with the man of my life. I know that he's the best for me cos he's a blessing from You, Lord.

2008 is the year which Lord, You have told me to learn how to love people, especially my students. I thank You for Your valueable lessons and now I've learnt how to love and be loved.

Father, I pray that this new year, 2009 would be a better year ahead. With the upcoming recession, I pray for divine proctection and blessing upon our lives, careers, health and relationship. I pray that You would grant us wisdom in handling all things and issues in life, work and relationship so that we can honour Your name. I pray for favour upon people in our workplace and relationship with our colleague will be a positive one. Father, I promise that Iain and I will be more devoted in 2009 and to serve You in Your court. I pray that You could give us a common vision and mission so that we could serve You as one.

Once again, Lord, I thank You for the wonderful blessing in 2008 and I know that 2009 will be a better year. Thank You, Father.

Amen
