Day 1 out of 365 days of 2015

Last night was one of the most relaxing, calming New Year countdown ever. In fact, we didn't even do the countdown. We were just talking and enjoy each other's presence when we heard fireworks after fireworks. That's when we realized its 2015!! Being with family is, indeed, one of the best places you could be on earth. Especially during New Year's eve. Waking up on the first day of the year is a struggle. Partly, well, because I'm sure everyone sleep late.

Well, at last, dear 2015, you are here. I almost felt like butterfly thinking about entering a whole new year. Butterfly means excited as well as anxious and anticipating something. I jokingly told my mom that I'm gonna be a quarter life this year and I somehow feel 'old'. I guess its true then, enjoy and appreciate life especially when you are younger and active. Make the most out of it. Just like what was written in 1 Timothy 4:12. ;)

As I ponder upon the end of 2014, its also quite tragic with the floods in West Malaysia and crashed plane few days after Christmas. As we enter into this year with laughter and warm wishes from dear friends and family, my heart goes out to those who are crying and grieving as they enter into a New Year without their loved ones. For some people, its going to be an exciting year but, to some people it may be challenging.

Look up. Sun is still shining. Birds are still chirping. We are still breathing. Every day counts in God's eyes. So make it count. He is the One who allow us to enter this new year, new season.

Thank You for bringing us into a New Year, Lord.

Goodbye old year. Welcome new year.

Farewell 2011. Many things happened last year. Tears and laughters. Ups and downs. And it feels like time is passing by too fast. Had a pleasant time with the family lastnight while waiting for new year. Just the four of us. We didn't really do anything. Just watching the fireworks that are happening around our "kampung". It was magnificent. (I was actually looking and picking which one is my fave firework.)
I ended 2011 and opening 2012 with prayers. That God may be lifted up higher and higher in my life.
As I was thinking back of ALL the things that happened during the whole year. It was a tough year indeed. I have learned a lot and lost a lot too. 2011 is like looking myself in the mirror and seeing what actually I looked like in real life. Its been a busy year as well. With studies to catch up, I've grown more adapted to the tension in compeleting my tasks. Still, there are a lot more to be learned, polished, improved and acquired.

So this is it. Welcome to the brand new year 2012.

There is something that the Holy Spirit has put in my heart about even before entering new year. And I felt it today, again, during church service. And it is called HUMILITY. I have no explanation to this. But somehow, I am strongly reminded about being humble in godly way, not human way alone. I am just moved to share this.  =) Clothe yourself with humility and put on a heart of a servant, filled with gratitude, kindness and love.

For anyone that accidentally or intentionally read this post, a very happy new year to all of u. May this year will NOT be a waste. May it be a memorable one, filled with joy, anticipation and love for God & for one another !

God bless.
Regards,
Nethy
