Giving Thanks

 A few days more and gone w be the year 2006. As I look back into the past year,many things
have happened and taken place..Some things brought to surface that are being dealt with, and some others battles
of which i'm still fighting in my heart and mind.

Yet again, I am reminded what it is to give thanks.

To be thankful..

To a God who has seen me thru my ups and downs, thru the times of triumph to the times when I'm down
To a God who has given me a family and extended family,imperfect as it may be,encourages me to live out my faith even more
To a God who has blessed me with great friends and a cg that today i can call God's family
To a God that has seen me thru my studies when for a while, i never once thought that i would ever graduate,
To a God that has provided me with a blessed job,even when i had yet to seek
And more than anything else, provided me a Savior that gives me a blessed assurance today.

Its with the battles that I have had to fight,that has forced growth upon me.
To grow to identify areas in my life which I had yet to truly surrender, or perhaps learn the meaning of TRUST & TRUE LIBERTY.
All these while, I thought I had trusted God..but more and more, realised that actually I did not.
I chose many times,subconsciously to rely on my own strength and judgements than to rely on what I deemed as my faith. Prolly,FAITH doesnt come easy for all afterall =), esp in seasons when the heart and mind doesnt coincide.

Camp this year sparked a reminder for me in this season of my life
That I'm deeply loved beyond my imagination and
That I know for sure I am right where I'm meant to be in this season
As I seek to establish my foundation stones of who I am in Christ
Made in His perfection, continually moulded for His glory

To You, my great and magnificent God..I Give YOU Thanks. Thankyou for seeing me through the seasons of 2006.
I look forward to the new things which You'll open my eyes as You grant me the faith to believe in the coming year.
