Toodles 2011, and welcome to brand new 2012!
Hmmm, honestly, 2011 has been very much a roller coaster ride to me.
Joy, Sadness, Faith, Hope, Love, Disappointments, Encouragements, Comfort.
I think it's my growing up year, graduating from Temasek Polytechnic and working instead of the usual studying.
I'm forced to grow up I guess, especially working. It really is a difference from studying..
Studying is just physically tiring, but, working is mentally tiring and a little emotional for me since it's a family business.
Being the eldest, I feel its my job to do so, to take over the business and God isn't stopping me.
Instead I feel peaceful because I know, He's got my back.
In everything I do, every step I take, He's there for me.
It came down to me during this one prayer meeting I attended.
That thursday was a very small group, consisting of a majority of my LG members, God was with us,
we were all just mediating and praying in our hearts, silently when suddenly PSC just said.
"I sense God wanting to tell Hazel this... "
And then my jaw almost drop, I got a shock, and started crying after hearing all the words my Father wants to tell me..
That I do not need to worry because, He's got my back because before that I prayed and asked him,
Should I work/ study?! I really don't know and I pray for your guidance. All my friends are studying, its actually really pressuring for me because in Singapore, a degree matters. A lot.
And soon later, this came, a confirmation. And that's when I know, I'll just let God take the wheel, just letting the skeptical, cynical Hazel trust in him and letting Him guide me and reveal to me His plans for me.
I don't know what will happen in future, I cannot comprehend it either but I know in His perfect timing and plans, He'll set everything right and it is my prayer that I'll obey my Father and trust in Him. :)
So for this 2012, whether the world is coming to an end or not (honestly, I seriously do not believe, not even one bit), I pray that I'll cling onto God in whatever I do, and I pray for guidance to be upon me and that I'll just grow closer in my walk with my Father more and more, for it is my greatest desire. Trust & Obey ;)
So cheers to the past 20 years of my life, and 2011, all glory to God Almighty!
