About time I updated huh? (gets shot)I still can't believed that I had slacked half of 2008 away! The fact that time seems to fly faster doesn't help either.

And now, it is 2009. SPM year. Senior Year. Sweet 17 which i don't think it's all that sweet (being 16 wasn't sweet either though it was fun)
Basically, I wasn't looking forward to the new year and was being really miserable about it. Not to mention that the year started badly with my Economics teacher transferring out before school started (Miss Lim!! Don't leave us, PLEASE!!!!)which I took as a sign that I might fall asleep as the replacement teacher teaches. Plus my highly ambitious goal to score straight A1s for all my subjects, be more active in my co-curricular activities...all for the sake of getting scholarship for tertiary education. orz

I felt so overwhelmed by it all especially on the future that is unknown and nearer than I had thought it to be. I haven't even decided on what to pursue later on in life...all the more scarier and unknown D:

That's when I realized that I had nearly forgotten about God (if I ever do that again, someone please whack me with a baseball bat) My spiritual life seems dead and I'm not living the life I should be living as a Christian. In desperation, I repented and surrendered my worries, my uncertainties, my burden and it was like I feel that things will be ok and God will take care of it all. Man, it has been a long time since I've felt that feeling....

Despite all that, I still feel that 2009 is going to be miserable until I saw the new church theme for this year, "God's Kingdom: Our Priority" That reminded me of what CF is going to achieve this year, what we are going to do to reach out to the school for the glory of God.

First week of school is less hectic than I had imagined besides the slowly growing pile of homework and unfinished assignments from last year. Nearly got in trouble with my hair being too short (thank God for my merciful principal) Rejoiced at the fact that my ex-Maths teacher is not teaching Maths but Civic and cringe at the fact that the dreaded Add Maths teacher is now teaching me Maths =.=

Yet, all this is nothing compared to what's really going on in the world right now. Oh yeah there's recession, not that I'm worried somehow. It's the people. The harvest is ripe. All my problems are nothing compared to other people's as I have learned in Youth today. I'm too focused on myself to see the bigger picture. Maybe that's why my spiritual life went down.

Therefore, from today onwards, I shall live beyond myself; in obedience to God's will and to reach out to others. To God be all glory.

For greater things have yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this city
