Gratitude

And i thank God for 2004. He's been great to me. He showed me that things don't always go the way i want but He's in charge and it turned out well in the end.

He showed me that with Him, nothing is impossible. Though there's conflicts and confrontations, His Wisdom will guide me through and all things will work out amicably.

Also, i want to thank Aunt SY. I am deeply grateful to her that, despite having just touched down from Jakarta, she called me because she heard about the outcome of my application to go SOT. I did not manage to take that call, but i returned the miss call.

She wanted to ask what happened and reassured me, telling me to take 2005 to prepare myself, encouraged me. And i thank God for them, Sis Guin and Aunt SY.

Without Aunt SY, there would not have been Sister Guin... Without Sister Guin, i would not be who i am today. Aunt SY has been very kind to me, very encouraging, taking time to talk to me when we meet... like a mother to me. Patient, kind, encouraging, understanding and excellent listener.

Despite their differences, Sis Guin has also been an inspiration, her stubborn faith in me, always encouraging me, even in my rebellious state years ago. During the pre-2000 time, i was booted out of 2 different cellgroup. (that's circa 1995 to 2000)

If not for her patience with me, i would definitely have got 'strike 3'.

Insofar as this year is concern... i'm not gonna waste it. Gonna make it count.

Regroup and attack.
