2007. A year of laughter. A year of trials and heartbreaks. A year of endless complaining and yes, thanksgiving. A year of restoration. A year that once again God proved Himself to be loving, good and faithful God.
This year:
- I turned 25!
- I was given an opportunity to soar. I was transferred to the bookstore from the marketing team at work. I coordinated 3 weddings of good friends, this made me realized that I love doing weddings.
- I went to places and met new and not-so-new people. I finally met my e-mail/phone friend since 2001, Angel. I was his tour guide for the whole two weeks that he was here. I also went with my parents to Palawan. One of my dream vacation since 2005. I temporarily moved out of my parents house and rented an apartment with Riz and Aster. I got involved at IVPM Makati (my original bible study group), IVPM Ortigas and Builders’ BS.
- I grieved from loss and heartbreaks. Last March our beloved Pastor Bob got “accelerated” and went home to heaven. Hey, he might be playing fireworks with David and Moses as I write this. We miss him so, but knowing that he’s in a better place now gives us comfort. This year also is a breakthrough at work. A lot of good friends from the office got new directions from the Lord this year. Sometimes I can’t help but pause and miss them.
- I was given second chances. Thank you Lord for restoring friendships.
- I experienced a spiritual roller-coaster. I shall blog about this later okay? (binitin hehehe.)
The countdown will start in a few minutes as I end this. It’s really hard to wrap up the events and the lessons learned for the entire year in an hour. But looking back its not a wasted year after all! As Pastor Dave reminded us last Sunday’s worship service: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” I can’t help but thank God for the people that He used to remind me of His love and His goodness! I can’t help but thank God for circumstances that He allowed so I will be moved to know and experience Him. Indeed! Thank you Lord for 2007!
