2009

We have come to the 13th day in 2009. Take a few moment to sit back and evaluate our 2008. Have we fulfill all our plans? Do we achieved any target that we set before???

Are we doing better?? improving?? or just the same as we use to be..

A new resolution has been set up though some just continued their dreams from 2008. Whatever our dream maybe. Let us just put them all in our Father's hand. Let His will be done.

As for me, my 2008 was full of colors. There are blessings troughout the year. They were also laughs and uncounted tears too. Personally I have also learn few lessons in my life. I did few wrong choices and which led me to a very bad consequences. Well, God never leave us alone.. and no matter how far we have been, He is still and always waiting for us to call Him. Do we still have the faith like we had before.

This was my battle in 2008. Being born and raise in a Christian family doesn't guarantee us a strong faith. When we are put to test, that is the time we know how strong our trust in Him. As a young lady who had just began my working life, I often encountered hard times in decision making. Staying alone in KL, I hardly got a chance to share my days and experience with anyone. I can only do that with Gladys when I'm at Shah Alam on weekends.


The problems I had in my workplace really put me to a tense. I often get my salary late. I was force to do the work beyond my capability. As a Bachelor graduate, I can only teach the diploma level, but to teach the Bachelor degree students, it was really hard for me. the foreign students also can't understand even basic English. First few weeks were nightmares for me. I almost gave up teaching.

But after few months I realize that I have always depended on my own strength, I never ask God for his guidance in every day of my life. I started to write my daily journey in a book. I pray and give thanks to the Lord. I began to pray for a community/fellowship nearby that I can join and get refresh again.

By the third quarter, my prayers were answered. the students began to understand my teaching and they were getting better in class though some are still left behind. I met my old friend who then brought me to a cell group. I was really2 glad that time until one day.. I met an accident.

I was shaken by the incident that happen to me. I had to pay for the medicals of the motorcyclist that I hit and another injured motorcyclist who was minorly involve in that accident, and send my car to workshop . Thank God, I can claim my car insurance for that. It was hard for me to hear his family yelling at me for my mistake because as far as I am concern, I didn't notice the motorcycle when I was driving on the highway. I felt really2 down that time because the next day I'm going to Riau Indonesia for Hitam Putih Festival. I was in shortage of money when I'm in Riau and couldn't shop much there but enjoyed my trip and performance so much !!!

In December, I went back to Limbang and had my Christmas there. I was glad to end my 2008 with my family.

Things happen beyond our expectation, we often grumble when something is not good. But we never think that at first we need to lay all our plans and days unto God's Hand. This is what I wanna do each day for 2009. GIVE THANKS AND PRAISE HIM !!! even when things doesn't go well !
