i always thought that the path that i shld walk on is, go to JC and then on to Uni .. cos i thought that is what parents would want me to do. but, i guess i was not suitable for the JC style of education. poly was more suitable for me. i thought that my parents would disagree with me .. but, instead, my parents supported and prayed for me. and im glad that i didn't make the wrong choice (: & not forgetting the wonderful surprise birthday they & my friends had for me, & the so many many other things that they have done for me for the past 17 years and counting :P

secondly, i thank Him for the mission trip to Chiang Rai's Grace Home during march this year & the annual church mission conference in july.
the mission trip there, has once again, "dug out" that "buried" thought of mine, wanting to serve Him in the missions ministry, to let the children there know that there are pple who loves them dearly and most imptly, our Big Daddy up there loves them alot too. going there, has also taught me what is it like to enjoy and appreciate the simplest thing that God has given to us. to wake up in the morning and just appreciate the beautiful nature scenery, to breathe in the fresh air, to listen to the sounds of nature, to be just contented with what we have around us. besides the mission trip there, the annual church mission conference during july has also once again, brought the "serve in missions ministry" thought out in me. and then, God works in His own awesome and wondrous ways to talk to me and show me the way.

thirdly, my baptism this year in April.

God has been helping me and guiding me throughout all my ups and downs in my life. and although there are times when i question Him and forget Him. He has never ever forsaken me. esp. through the terrible preparation period for my O lvls. during that period. i was a rly rly lost person. my "sense of direction" was very confused. my emotions were running wild. my temper was really bad too. it was a very difficult time for me. but He was always always there, it's just that i was "blind" and cldnt see. after that terrible period, i thought through abt what had happened, and i thought, God has always been there for me, guiding and loving me, nv forsaking me at all. it's time that i shld commit myself to Him, to give my all to Him and to be His follower....
on April 16th, i was baptised (:

fourthly, i thank Him for the JTTW musical.

through this musical, i've learnt to really rely on Him, to trust Him. i must say, the journey of JTTW is not a smooth one. but it is through this journey that i've learnt alot. i've gained another family too. a family that is full of unity, love, support and joy. when our soul is dampen, we all pray together and for one another. to not let Satan have a hold over us. when someone is happy, the feeling would be magnified and spread among the rest. although we are all from different backgrounds (e.g acjc, sbc, qbc), we all have a common goal, and that is to dance our very best, to glorify God's name and to touch someone out there, to let them know about God. i could really feel God's presence amongst us throughout this whole wonderful journey. when it feels like things are going wrong and we dnt have much time, all we could do is pray and learn to let go and let God. because it is only then, when we learnt to let go and let God, what we received in the end would be so many many many times greater than what we give.

lastly, i want to thank God for blessing me with many "angels" and a "shepard" by my side.
these "angels" have been there for me. when i need someone to talk to, when i need help, comfort, support, encouragement, prayers and so many more. im not going to say who they are. but im really really grateful for them. and, to my "shepard" who has been guiding and caring for me everytime (though im quite positive you wont read this, but anyway,) thank you! (:

there are so many other things more that i want to thank God for because what He has done for me can never be thanked finish. but these are just a few things that happened this year that i reallly really am so so very very thankful for. hee. if i were to list out the other things that im thankful to God for. i think the list will never end (: so , Thank You, Lord for loving me so so very very very much!! :D
