Friday, December 15, 2006: memories
i've been reading some of my past entries; i can still remember when i wrote some of them, i can still remember the feelings that i carried with them. the joy, sorrow, anger, love, satire. reading them now brings me so much laughter and sadness. alot of things have changed in the past 2 years - some good, some bad. i guess alot of things have spiraled out of my control, all i can do is just to leave it to God now, to let Him do the damage control and healing. on the other hand, i must also glorify and thank Him for bringing so much joy and hope into my life this past period. looking at the past, i must admit that alot of times i try to solve my own problems, to make my own decisions, to choose the course of my life. alot of those times, i have failed, or made some mistake in the process.
i think next year is going to be the next big change in my life. its going to be the point where i cross over, to become a proper young adult. turning 18, starting uni, leading in winter camp. life is going to be so different, not what i remember it to be; simple, young, innocent(-er). life is going to be daunting, complete with more fears, more worries, more sorrows. but you know what? there's going to be a truck load of jubilation, laughter and excitement. i just need to leave everything into God's big and mighty hands, and stop trying to take everything into my own small narrow perspective, so that i can finally enjoy the plan God has made out of my life.
