Entry 305

Autumn Semester 1 of 2008 has been real good.


interesting,exiciting,full of challenges,learning changes,learning patience,learning forgiveness,getting to know people and how to deal with them lovingly and etc...
(thanks to all the great ppl who made my semester great!you know who u are!)

THIS POST IS DEDICATED TO U !


but even so ..

Though there were days i was homesick

Though there were days life was just too hard !



Though there were days i felt like just slacking off and just bumming

Though there were days i just felt Why God ? Why am i still waiting? What is my purpose? Reveal it !

Though there were days i felt uncertain not knowing what will be the end of this journey of mine

Though there were days i felt at peace with God and everyone around me

Though there were days i just don't get it anymore

Though there were sunny and rainy days

and it goes on and on


well it's life where there is ups and downs..



i'm like every other person on this earth having to deal with challenges in life.


But above all, I'm thankful to God for pulling me through another semester and teaching me heaps where i wish i could jot it all down here but i am sort of running out of time.Will do it another time ! Bottom line everything happens for a reason!


If you can't figure out the reason behind it , it means it's unfolding and you will know it sooner or later.


I want to thank God for being with me through ups and downs in life it has been a great experience !

I want to thank God for constantly reminding me on stuff

I want to thank God for hitting me straight on my face when i go down the wrong path and never fails to pull me back up when i fall

I want to thank God for always protecting me

I want to thank God for allowing me to meet great people from all different walks of life!

I want to thank God for giving me the opportunity to go to uni

I want to thank God for sufficient pocket money

I want to thank God for helping me with my studies

I want to thank God for teaching me to have more patience & forgiving.

I want to thank God for being a provider, healer and everything to me

and lastly I want to thank God for blessing me.
