Almost a Goodbye now...

We're inching every minute towards 2013 now. I'm equally excited and yet feeling nostalgic all over again. I'm thankful for a new year, coz' it spells new beginnings, starting afresh, new resolutions, and always a healthy dose of hope for a better year. Growing up is never easy, considering the amount of challenges we faced from time to time, then again, I'm deeply grateful overall that my year was peaceful, eventful with many happy memories, and most importantly, generally healthy. Was down early part of this year with bouts of flu and just feeling under the weather once in a while, but that's pretty much about it. oh, did I mention about a lump found in my left boob? Funny that I'm not all too bothered about it, and guess what, it has diminished slowly. Now it is smaller than I first discover it. All it takes is a better diet, good spirits, and good faith. Hee!

I'm wrapping up the year with my FUFs, seemingly a routine now. It still amazed me how we met each other, considering our 'origins' are relatively complicated - from ex-classmates, to ex-bf's friends, to ex-colleagues and friend's friends. LOL!

I've started church choir about 1.5 months ago, and I believe I'm still going strong! I'm so glad to be introduced to this Choir family. It was a little awkward in the beginning, however, I'm slowly blending in well. People there are perpetually nice and warm, they make me feel pretty much at home. The highlight of Choir: I've located my prospectus Godma. It's so amazing, overwhelmed with gratitude, for the Lord sent me a perfect mentor. She's motherly and sisterly towards me, humble, and she's really an amazing woman. I believe most importantly, we can relate well. I prayed for a Godma, since it's a requirement for baptism, and I wanted a Godma who is spiritually matured to be able to guide me, and someone I can relate to, someone I would turn to for spiritual help. And when I mingled with her, I literally received a jolt in my spirit. It's quite unbelievable at that point in time, coz' I only know her for barely 2 to 3 weeks! But yet, I was feeling really excited to receive that prompting. And 6 weeks later, I finally mustered the courage to pop the question. I believed it caught her by surprise, and she prayed about it. She received confirmation and assurance from Him, and accepted my Godma proposal! :D still gave me goosebumps the way He works.

Serving Him and following His instructions are just as I thought it would be - Joyful. Everyday, it's a privilege to walk with Him. I can do this for as long as I live!

I've received my confirmation (like finally!). Was relatively pissed before, especially after the conversation with my Big Boss. Yet, it explained a whole deal why I wasn't confirmed. I was grateful to have given the golden opportunity to explain to her what's really going on behind the curtains, to correct her misunderstanding towards me and another colleague. Yes, He said it wasn't time yet, and He really planned it well, and made sure I would stay by His plans till He opens new doors for me. Yeah, so I'm glad the whole episode is behind me now, and I'm at peace already. Thank goodness I chose not to resent my days. Thankful, for the Faith really keeps me safe and strong. Countless of prayers of courage and strength were made during my days here it's unbelievable! Gosh!

I've many more things to be grateful for. In a nutshell, the year has been good for me. So, taking all the good vibes with me, I'll stride confidently into the New Year! Nobody knows what entails beyond 2012 but I'm positive it'll be better.. I believe there'll be even more things to be rejoicing about!

Happy New Year! May All of Us Have A Great One! :D
