I Thank God for 2010.
I thank God for 2010. Not because it has been a smooth-sailing and pleasant year as some might think, but because of what He has brought me through.
I will remember 2010 as the year I did the most nonsense in my life but also the year I set my feet back on track.
I didn't really share this with anyone, but during one of the night sessions during a camp in june, one of the church pastors prayed over me and mentioned this to me amongst many other things- that I will lose some close friendships this year and I will form more strong friendships. At that point of time, it left me utterly confused. But now the year has ended, and I understood what he meant. I thank God for the new friendships I now have.
2010 was also the year I completed my national service. People hate serving the army, and I can agree with them to a certain extent, but it's through this whole time when I learnt how to appreciate the people and things around me. Yes, I have met many bad characters in the army and sadly they are christians which makes things worse, but I believe this people are put in our life to shape us.
Even as the year comes to a close, that's so much I really wish to share. Recently, I have been thinking a lot of what I want to do in future when I grow up. I don't know why but this crazy idea came to me today about doing short-term missions trips when I grow up (the few months kind). I think it would be super cool to quit school and go do missions! I mean afterall, you don't need a degree to have a heart for people right? Don't worry I won't quit school! I feel that unless we make an impact in the lives of others, life will really be such a meaningless bore. We don't live for ourselves, really.
Anyway, I have to go now. I'm really looking forward to 2011, everything about it! 2011's gonna be so exciting! :D
