The clock seems to be moving faster and faster…. We’re 4 days into 2011 already.

Hello NUS in 6 days.

So, yeah. It’s a new year.

So what?

Doesn’t mean it’s a new year all the problems in 2010 will stay in 2010. They will still be there, hanging on me like some shadow.

But…

That doesn’t mean I can’t start afresh, does it?

I want to grow up as a person in 2011. I want to be a better follower of Christ, a better shepherd, a better sheep. I want to find love. I want to give love. I want to seek the unconditional love. I want to face my fear with my Creator. I want to do my best, for myself and for those who loves me. I want to be better than who I was before. I want to have the greatest adventure. I want to be able to do things I didn’t get to do in 2010. I want to experience as much as I can. I don’t want any regrets. This is my life, this is the time. I want to live it. I want it all. I’m looking forward to the new surprises that awaits me. Good or bad surprises. Haha.

And this time round, I want to keep my resolutions. And I’m gonna give my best.

I don’t know how this whole 2011 will be. I don’t know how this 2011 will change my life. But, one thing’s for sure, I’m growing up. And I need to grow up. There’s not much time left. Adulthood, I’m waving to you. Much as I felt that I’ve been an adult most of my life, but this time. I’m gonna be officially an adult. I’m gonna have to start planning on how I’m going to support my parents, how I’m gonna provide for them,how I’m gonna give them the life they’ve missed. Gonna be a better daughter, a better friend. Gonna start fulfilling my dreams and ticking off the things that I’ve always wanted to do in my whole life. Gonna start giving my best consciously even more. Because I want to be that credible and biblical young adult who is able to make biblical decisions in this world. Haha, UNI-YA’s vision. (Spiritual siollll liting ~)

There’s always a lot of options, a lot of choices. Each combination will lead me to a different place. But God, let me choose You all the time. Force me to choose You. Let Your will to be done in my life. I want to be in that place, where You called me to go. I can feel the struggle sometimes. I guess this is what they like to call the ‘real’ struggle. Haha, but nah, I feel that all struggles are real k. Just that now, this is real, in terms of monetarily and career paths and whatsoever in the eyes of this world.

So, your struggles grow to be more… real? Lol. Cause it affects more, cause they weigh more.

So, are you ready? To embrace adulthood. For those turning 21. It’s not the age that matters. It’s our mentality. Liting, it’s time to grow up. Be less emotionally-driven as well. Stop being sucha girl.

In everything. Hold onto this.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (New International Version, ©2010)

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Letting go and trust. Liting, yao grow ah.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (New International Version, ©2010)

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Matthew 6:25-26 (New International Version, ©2010)

Do Not Worry

²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Matthew 7:7-8 (New International Version, ©2010)

Ask, Seek, Knock

⁷ “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

2 Corinthians 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Goodbye 2010, Welcome 2011.

//let's take this good enough and turn it to great.
