5 gazillion posts in a day
i thought i really needed to say this.
as i look back on 2008, it was seriously one of the toughest years i've had. and a lot of things had to be rebuilt or reworked.
but there's seriously so much to give thanks for. to give thanks for the fact that God never ever put me through more than i could handle or needed. and in the midst of so much lostness, pain and tears, i could see now what i couldnt see then - that i was never really alone, and all that has happened, even prior to 08 has really shaped me. what doesn't kill you really really makes you stronger.
i really feel that i've grown a little older, a little stronger, even a little happier over the last year.
to meet the people i did, to give and share and love all around me.
i mean, i think i was also, truly mean to some people last year. and that's one thing that i've really learnt. although we're born of goodness, there's always some dark, evil part of us that exists. and it's really a choice you make, in how to act or how to speak etc.
i'm tearing a little as i type this, man!
i bet you guys dont know this, but the class cell is one group of people i'm really proud of. to have watched you guys grown over the last 2 years has been really gratifying in some sense, but also very, very inspiring as well.
to jared.
this is kinda special, but i've always wanted to say this to you.
i'm proud of you, really.
and i've no doubt that God is too.
to have lived through all that you did. to have stayed faithful even when the storms hit. to not call it quits when things got tough!
and there's just too many people i can't ever thank enough.
let me end with a verse that blows my socks off.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.
