Knowingly or unknowingly, yet another year has passed. Looking in retrospect, it's scary how fast time flies; but here I am on the eve of the new year - thankful to journal how good God has been in my life.
It has undoubtedly been a busy year. A year filled with many more responsibilities to take on. Responsibilities that I hold so dear to. But prayerfully, by God's grace, hoping desperately in my heart that it turns out right... Throughout this year, I've seen how God has moved despite my failures, my unfaithfulness, and even in my times of doubt. But yet, somehow, God still moved in my life. He proved me otherwise.
Often, I underrate God's ability to be patient; to be able to work through failures like me.
Despite my unfaithfulness, God is faithful to work in my family. One of the greatest thanksgiving this year is the baptism of my late grandmother. Being a staunch Taoist all her life, God's ability to transform hearts just leaves me breathless. Just weeks before her passing on, her obedience to Christ changed many things; one of which is: changing a 'goodbye' to a 'see you later'.
I guess that are many reasons that I could find to thank God for. However, writing it all here might seem like an understatement to all that God has done. Also, remembering all the nitty gritty details will somehow dilute the story, so it's best not to. But nonetheless, on the last day of 2013 - the eve of 2014 - I guess what's only really worth remembering this year is: God's faithfulness in my life, His goodness in my family, and His nature to remember His promises; forever being so patient with us, even though we don't deserve any of it.
So, concluding 2013 with much thanksgiving because I have You. 2014, here we come...
真的想要感谢祢.
