31st December 2008

What a way to end the last day of Year 2008. I prayed that I will see snow today. Today, I saw basically all kinds of weather you can get. I saw rain drizzling in early morning, sunshine, cloudy, slight snow and strong wind. I paused a while at the desk at office in the afternoon after seen & feel all I have said and as I reflect on Year 2008, it has been like the weather I saw today. Year 2008 has not been an easy year and it was not a year without joy and excitement. It has been a mixture of everything.

It was a unique & gracious year. One most important thing I have learned is that God is God. He has planned year 2008 even before the beginning of time. He has planned every single details of each seconds of Year 2008. I remembered I did not spend my new year of year 2008 enjoying and being thankful. Instead, I was crying and complaining how my life can be in such pain. Today is the last day of Year 2008. My tears still flow today but with thankfulness, forgiveness, contentment and joy in my heart.

I am excited for a brand new year. Seriously, people who knows me will know that I can easily made many new year resolutions and forgot about it a day after new year. Well, this still does not prevent me to make new year resolutions for Year 2009. I may not able to achieve the resolutions but at least I hope I will work on certain areas of my life.

A new year does not mean it will be without tears, pain and hurt, there will also be joy, goodness, contentment, etc. I hope that I could keep trusting in God as He show and bring me through Year 2009.

I remembered every single moments as I quiet my heart and close my eyes about Year 2008. But, it is time to say goodbye and Welcome Year 2009.
