I spent 20 minutes writing my reflections furiously on the train and ended up not using it. But it was good, as I thought of the many things to be thankful for.
In 2009, I was thankful for
- attachment. As tear jerking as it might have been, it was a test of perseverance, which in turn breeds a lot of other things as described in Romans and James 1.
- FYP mates- all the late nights, the panda eyes, the fears and anxieties... I'm glad we love each other so very much
- driving instructor who sometimes not-so-patiently taught me how to drive, but i enjoyed all the random chats we had on the car
- three weeks of sitting in my childhood house and plenty of feasting. Thankful for time spent with gram, for also learning how precious it is to be thankful as a family
- a birthday spent facing the Himalayas- then you wonder how much bigger my God can be. Also, sandals came just in time too.
- outings with my girls.. pirate ships and uno stacko is heaps fun too
- youth camp and how God softened a hardened heart.
- youth and church in Adelaide. seeing the milky way in youth camp, being able to fit in, for P and Sarah and many others who prayed, fetched me around, For all the numerous bible studies that we had, the yfs
- kitchen mates to cook with, eat with, like family.
- all the times i ran with Lei and how my stamina has improved by leaps and bounds
- learning finally that I can trust God to provide no matter where I am, luggage in tow, somethings can taken away for a reason, there is provision of other greater blessings.
-for my 2 lovely korean friends, the only and best thing that happened in Sydney besides sashimi
- being able to knit becca a scarf, on all those trips to Keith, in Auckland and Christchurch
There are too many to count, too many to mention
In 2010, I resolve to
- wake up earlier- or not to lie in bed.
- give thanks in all circumstances, even for friends that treat me like rubbish
- pray more
- find time to attend concerts
- run one 10km marathon with becca
- be punctual when meeting friends and foes
- cultivate gentleness (the meaness has to come to and end somehow)
Thank you for loving the imperfect me, full of flaws... for all the times that I was too proud, that I felt like being sacarstic and eventually spewed fire, and for stuffing myself silly at times, Lord, I'm sorry.
2010- a long year ahead, a step closer to home. If it is my last, teach me to finish this race well and to fight a good fight. Otherwise, give me a sense of perseverance and doggedness to do small things greatly.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom
neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
">
the road home
