2010 started well, had everything i ever wanted, everybody i ever needed. Lived a high and mighty life. However, in the middle of it, life became a little wobbly, needing to pass things down, faith and believe was tested. Then came the major decisions to make (am i going to Manchester, or Staffordshire ... must i leave?) Didn't enjoy any of that process... it was really tough... and then at last, decision was made... to Manchester i said. It's been a little more than 3 months now being here, in church Pr Peter ask us to write something that we would thank God for and I asked myself this question am i thankful that i'm in Manchester? I think for a while and I answered no, because coming here seems like me losing everything, everyone. It hurts and it still does, but I know I should be thankful, because i trust that God has a purpose for me being here. I should be thankful that God is building me up once again, giving me new friends, new people around me, out of my comfort zone into a war zone. As a leader I've slacked, being new here, I thought to myself, I'm in no leadership position, means i'm no leader, means i don't need to act like one, means how i live doesn't really matter to anyone here. And because of all this dumb thoughts, i've been late for everything. I didn't live up to how a leader should. Just now in prayer I realize that even if I'm in no leadership position I still need to get ready for battle. So that anytime the trumpet for war goes out, i'm ready for battle. So the resolution for the new year : Getting ready for battle and be a humble leader.
I went to church just now from 7.30-10pm then after that i was suppose to go down town with my friends for countdown, but Shyen Wei invited us over to celebrate new year and to watch London's countdown.
We had pizza and chips, when i see the live broadcast for the count down, i thank God that i wasn' t there, it was so crowded.. I wouldn't like it..we were at Shyen Wei's home commenting on the camera-mans their angle was really bad... =P.. i'm just glad i watch it through a television rather than being there. =) we had games.
Peter likes Simpson so here we have simpson UNO cards... it was good..
I was winning at first, look at the scores, to the far right is mine... then... i lost.. =P
After that we played Monopoly... it has been ages since I last played this game.. =) it was fun..
Me and Pr Peter tied, we won, as in we ended the game early so we had to count our properties and cash... =)
I came back home at around 2am.. =) Shyen Wei drove me back.. =)
New Year's going to be great... let's start with me going to bed early... =) so i hope.. so Happy New Year everyone. Chaoz
