Day 2 - 2008

Tis the new year! Happy New Year everybody!
Last night was a bang. I celebrated new years, as i do every year, in church. We have watchnight service.
Like Jo says, "whats the point going to sardine-can packed places, when we can go to church?"

I feel the years are passing swifter and swifter as they come, time, in general, passes more quickly nowadays...i don't know if it's a 20s thing (they say in your 20s, the years fly by quicker that it ever will in your whole life). Yesterday's watchnight was swifter that usual also.

So the past months, i have been missing. (though, i don't appreciate the sarcasm, jin and simon!)
Its been a hoola of a Christmas!

We've done lots...and since i'm on *ehhem* Blogger now, i can show pictures; here's some from Personage : A Christmas Dinner :

An Elf










The Grim Reaper
































So that was Christmas for ya...we have service on Tuesday, and carolling and sore throats and bags under the eyes. This was by far, the most tiring Christmas, or rather the maddest Christmas in my short 20 years time span. I have non pictures, so i can't show you the rest, sorry.

But it was all worth it.

It was quite astounding that we had so much strength to pull through, and i give all credit to the Giver of Life, whom we celebrated through all that we did.

So back to today...a new year, and i'll bet this one's gonna speed by also. Papa made me a New Year's resolution yesterday, and pasted it on my door. it said :

"2008 Resolution for Sue Yin
- Keep your room tidy always"

sheesh.

so for the new year...i have no resolutions i suppose...this year has been one of great changes for me, new things...and i should expect new year will be like that.

Luke 18

The Parable of the Persistent Widow

1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'

4"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' "

6And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
