A new year


With a blink of an eye, we bid farewell to 2008. Yup, that year has been a very eventful one for me definitely and I give all thanks and praise to God for blessing me with the many experiences and lessons that I receive. There are lots of happy memories for me to keep, interesting life lessons that I've learnt and the wonderful experience of serving God in the music ministry.

Yes, I may be complaining about how busy I am towards the end of the year and how I don't have time for people and things because of my studies and commitments to church and choir. But at the very end, the one big lesson that I've learnt is to trust God and enjoy the process of things. And true enough, my theory/belief of God making time for me if I make time for Him is proven by the results I got for my final exams. They may not be very impressive, the outcome may not be what I hope or expect it to be. But I'm still happy and am especially amazed by 2 of the modules that I took. I didn't do as badly as I thought I would have done for geography (in fact, i think it wasn't too bad a grade =)) and I did quite well for maths even though I didn't know how to do quite a number of questions. The amazing peace I felt throughout the exam period (almost stress-free I would say) is truly by God's blessings and I praise God for all that he has done for me.

Oh wells, now that 2009 is here, there will definitely be more and more challenges ahead. I suppose I will have much lesser time for myself since my timetable is planned in such a way that I finish school at 6pm on non-choir days and even later on choir days since I'm part of the committee now. But I guess, to be even more victorious this year, I will have to put my absolute trust and faith in Jesus for he is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! Yep, praise God for all that he has done and for what is to come! amen =)

Offering

The sun cannot compare
To the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence

No mortal man would dare
To stand before your throne
Before the holy one of heaven

It is only by Your blood
and it's only through Your mercy
Lord I'll come

I bring an offering of worship to my Kind
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus may you receive the honour that You're due
Oh Lord, I bring an offering to you
