Officiellement

Yay! in case you read my multiply (cuz it's linked) i've changed my blog link to this. :)
drop by and leave tags! :)

well, the last one has got sentimental values definitely. it has served its purpose for about 3 yrs and 2 months. having like 450 posts. that "chapter" draws to a close and a new one begins. (thus explaining the new add.yups) but i leave that for just myself to read (anyway the multiply still has EVERYTHING).

i guess the 2nd part of 2008 was simply too "happening" for me to handle and thus i had a very bad attitude and a very dramatic side showing.

Let's see...
-Quit my job for a new one
-Decided to leave the new job (Miscommunication)
-Concentrated on the Exams (going for in between interviews)
-Had the exam
-Went for a short trip to Bintan
-Found a new job
-Started the new job
-Changes to cell and church service
-Nephew got hit by some stupid virus in the brain and was admitted to the ICU
-Failed the 1st 2 modules i took
-Continued classes
-quite a few 21st birthdays
-nephew being able to head home and recovering speedily
-one TW friend sms-ing me to inform me his wife has just safely gave birth
-Ministry leader getting married
-colleague going to get married

what a roller coaster don't you think?all in the span of like 2-3 months.

i guess my main concern and attention in the midst of all that was my nephew. and when the nephew's condition improved, i started to think about all the above and a little more(cuz i started taking notice of them). that's when i realised i had to do something about it and not just be emo about the whole thing.

met up with peien and the rest of the group. she said "I believe God is in control"
at cell, i shared with the old and new mates that the one thing we gotta do, really, is the stay close to the family that shares the same faith. we're running the race of faith with others. we're not alone.
also, our gift for peien(it's was her bday), was a disney puzzle piece of Pooh and friends lighting honey jugs at either the dawn or dusk(point being it's dark). and i explained that it's to remind us that we're the light and we continue to uphold each other in the midst of darkness (like how you help to light another candle when it gets blown out) and thus (back to the point) we gotta stay close to the correct group of people in the midst of difficult times.

with all this being said, internally i was thinking(again), ALOT. like what KC describes as battling inner battles.

Rom8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Jer29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

I too believe that God is in control. Like what pastor always says, the only thing that remains the same in life is change.
mentioned by Ps Tan, in life, it's like us spinning plates. have you seen it before?

now, we don't just spin ONE plate at a time. it's many many plates at a time. When the plates start to be shaky, we have to spend a little more time and effort on it. we don't give up and let the plate crash onto the floor. maybe cuz we're greedy people. haha! :P

so yea, i've made some plans for 2009. may share more along the way. i'm looking forward. i'm staying positive. i wanna be spending time with people who respects and appreciates me giving my time to them. it's something which is of value to me. time is priceless.

so, welcome to the new blog add. :)
Cheer me on as i run this league of race in life as i hope to cheer you on too. :)

God bless!

Loves,
tabs.
