Thanksgiving Post I am actually feeling thankful on Thanksgiving Day. Hmm. I thank God for: (A long list! Shows that I'm blessed in my past 22 yrs!) FAMILY 1. A complete family... 2. Family members that are so supportive (morally and financially) that I develop my musical talents 3. Parents that are still paying my phone bills, Uni education, pocket money, & now cab fares when it's exam periods for me 4. A mum who fought tooth and nail to get me the best education past 22 years 5. Dad who nurtured me in experiential science when I was young - rearing caterpillars into butterflies, hatching lizard eggs, all in plastic containers - something I'll never forget, even though I don't feel fated with science anymore. 6. Dad who sat through Maths 10/10 PC Tutor, Biology, Chemistry, Physics with me and being readily available when I needed help 7. Brother who will always bless me greatly on my birthdays 8. Uncles and Aunties that are also caring for my future and well-being, and are also generous people, but stingy with themselves 9. A nice house to live in the past 15 years with many pets to accompany my growing up years. I will never forget Reagon who was put to sleep eventually due to his paralysis, Oscar who died in a car accident, my 2 chickens, a house of rabbits, hamster whose name I forgot, and Golden now who is still surviving (thank God)! FRIENDS & LEADERS 10. My friends from Primary School - Alethia, Charmaine, Joan. And also for putting me in Pri 6BD class that we're still meeting up frequently now & always looking forward to it! 11. YT, who brought me to know Christ as THE Person, not just my savior, but my Lord 12. Sis Veron, whom I learnt to respect by seeing how much others have respect for her, and then experiencing her leadership for myself, although for a short while only - she and the cell group taught my the City Harvest Church culture from there. That was the reason I stayed on. 13. Bro Victor, who I respect alot as a wise leader and learnt most of what I believe and apply right now from him. 14. My Uni Friends - Teng Teng, Stephanie, Li Chin, Ball, etc...whom I got to know better only during my final year, but I am glad I knew them better even if it wasn't over a long time 15. WL - The only person in church who I will show the level of my crap, and who will know the words that is truly in my heart and mind...and, the only person who I can trust to understand my words & who I am 100% comfortable with when it comes to confiding. 16. VIC Leaders - for always bringing laughter in the face of challenges before us. You guys amaze me at the level of strength to take all that in with a smile on the face...I have learnt well throughout the period of being part of you, and I must say, we have all grown together. In bonds and in service. I love & respect you guys for being my standard. CELL GROUP (Also under "FRIENDS") 17. Cell group - N119, W280....you guys are always part of my life. I wish I had been more proactive in connecting with you all especially Clement, Huizhen, Elly, Esther (both, lol). But there was always alot of balancing to do, and I guess I could have done better...WELL, time is coming soon when I can take THE load off my mind! Exams end @ Dec 2! Meet up soon... 18. The NOW Cell group - Thanks guys for running the race with me. I know I'm not the most perfect leader around, in fact I'm far from it...but you guys have stuck together with me and it has been 4 months now. I can't promise that you won't ever face a disappointment in this cell group, but I can promise that I'll put in my greatest effort and tgt with God's grace, we will see each other grow and transform. I'm not perfect either, and all of us are long time Christians with alot of room for improvement. So let's give grace to one another, even as we seek the higher calling, and most importantly....NEVER STOP LOVING GOD & LOVING OTHERS! --------------------- Last of all, I want to thank God for being God! 1. Thank God for placing ALL THE ABOVE in my life! 2. Thank You for being more interested in my character growth than my comfort/convenience...there are SO MANY instances in my life I could quote for this...only You know all of them! 3. Thank You for being a loving father, being smarter than everyone that I may know, being more forgetful about sins that have been confessed and repented from than others around me, being the peace in my heart when I need it, and the strength in me when I needed it to overcome odds, being the guide in me when I had to depend on the gifts of the Holy Spirit! 4. Thank You for writing the Bible - formidable weapon for those who have bothered to read the user manual! Haha... 5. Thank You for being a God that actually responds. 6. Thank You for setting up the standard for morality & ethics...makes me less confused living in this screwed up world. That isn't all, but I'm sleepy now. Maybe I'll continue sometime soon! Or not! =) Thank YOU for reading this! I hope everytime you are here to read my blog, you are blessed. Labels: contemplative, testimony 10:44 PM
