How's 2008 been..

It's been a year of good endings...
I would say that it's been a tough ride for me at the start of the year esp having to juggle both my new job and studies, the challenges that kept coming my way seems like a battle I've been constantly fighting all these years. But it all came to an end at the end of this year.
For all that we go thru the Lord is preparing and building a solid foundation in us.
Just before I left for home, I received a letter that brought a smile to my face. It was this same subject in the letter I receive a day before camp that brought tears to my eyes. I'm simply amazed at how timely things can be. "Grace has been extended to u indeed" was the reply Coach Jo-Ann sent me. Someone who has been walking this journey with me. We question God sometimes His timing, but I've learn to just trust Him and be confident that it'll all work out for my good.
When I follow His decision, led by the peace and life in me, He makes all good abounds towards me. Whatever that has troubled me in my job, has become a blessing for me. Thank god for a boss who prays for me :) To me the greatest blessing is to be in a job you enjoy, can grow in, and have the same vision as the boss. Simply because we spend most of our time in our job. Seek to know where He wants you to settle in because it either makes you a better person or it takes the life from you.
It's interesting the ideas that I have in mind were the things my boss is implementing. I'm going to have a class of my own instead of splitting and sharing the kids daily. My colleague loves the cartoon 'Smurf' and I quite like it too, so we're choosing that as our main name =) Boss chosed Brainy smurf for me :( hoping now I could go back and change it. The five kids my colleague text me yest were all the kids I had in mind. My colleagues and I initially plan to take turns to choose hehe..Amazing. So far only 5 kids at the start of the year =D with 3 teachers haha~
What's more amazing is my brother bought a new computer at home. On my way home, I was thinking of the hassle I had to go thru to go to my aunts place to do my assignment. Never in my wildest imagination I would have thought of this. He bought it only for only $600. It's brand new plus it comes with a printer. The shop was clearing their stocks:)
Thank God for the close friends he has kept strong and the new people he has brought into my life. In fact, a large part of my frens are the ones I just got to know this year. I wouldn't have walk this year with so much memories without them.
Looking forward to a year of growth! =D Grace IS with us!
