Happy New Year to all you little people out there! OH man, I can't believe it's really 2008, A levels is coming soon! What a scary thought =S And i'm only 2 years away from being 20~! O.O An even scarier thought. Woah man, time passes by REALLY fast. Well, i thank God for His presence and providence for the past year. I never expected it to be such a time of growing, of learning. But i know that this year, more pruning will also take place.
My prayer for this year is His strength, since this year will be a busy year. Aside from A levels, i'm teaching in Agape, training in Dance ministry which is part of the worship team, going to teach keyboard to youthies and cont with the band. It aleady feels quite busy to me, but i know that i haven't got the worst of it. There are others who will be busier than i can ever be. I also pray for the relationships that will be formed, and altered in this year. I hope i won't cause too many old friendships to fade, as new ones are made.
In fact, i sense that things will change quite drastically for me, as if there's going to be a lot of 'new'. New house, new relationships, new responsibilities, new discoveries, new lessons, new new new. Though i'm sure most of the old will still be retained, most of it, i hope. and that i will hold on to God and not let go. After all, there are two things in life that's constant: change and God. So as change takes place, God will bring me through it.
I also pray that this year will really bring me closer to God. Not just because of exams, but because i'll need Him more than ever. So yeah, i'd like an opportunity to grow closer and to get to know God better. This year has to be really God-centred alright (not that other years don't need to be) since i can easily lose sight of Him through all the 'busyness'.
Discipline is another area that i hope to improve. Looks like it's gotta be less of the computer for me =( BUT! it's for my own good! discipline to study for As, and study God's word, among other things that i've yet to think of.
and Direction in my life as i decide what to do for uni, what course to take and what my future may hold.
SO, all this i put into God's hands, and trust in His plan.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
