Thursday, January 7

counting down to the days left before I fly off. Somehow as the day comes nearer, my life these days somehow revolves around this exchange. I'm either shopping for my essentials/necessities, meeting people who want to catch up with me and conversations with friends revolve around overseas trips/uk. I guess in some way this prepares me mentally and physically ready for the trip.

Since this is my first post of 2010, I shall post some of my reflections for 2009:

Had this desire in the beginning of 2009 to dwell deeper into His words, especially after I got my bible commentary. However, I got caught up with many things along the way that brought distractions. Did not progress much with using the commentary. Through this reflection, it brought upon my heart to want to continue with this desire to know God’s words deeper and to be disciplined to the commitment.

I’ve learnt that one’s outward behaviour and attitude are reflections of what are within and these are largely dependent on one’s spiritual walk and devotion with the Lord. I find myself ‘unbalanced’ most when I do not spend adequate time with God and neglect to place Him first in my life. It is a constant reminder that my daily walk with Him is of utmost importance.

I’ve learnt to recognize God’s grace upon me on many occasions when I continue to fail to learn from mistakes but yet He continues to remind me time and time again till I learn to overcome. Very often, I’ve failed to recognize God’s sovereignty over my studies and stressed myself trying to do well based on my own capabilities but God was patient in guiding me through this journey and allowing me to gradually overcome this obstacle.
