Time and time again, I always find myself checking back to xanga every end of the year. I barely write anyting in between the months but beginning and end of the year, I just somehow wonder back into xanga and blog for the new year that's coming and the end of another year. It seems to be the pattern I've notice I do, and I guess if you're wondering how many years I've been blogging, this would be my third year anniversary. Then again, I barely blog and only on rare occasions such as today. I know this is a place to see how much you've grown b/c of all the thoughts you have written down. When you look back to all your blogs, I think you will see how much growth you have developed over the months or years. You have placed on so many thoughts and insignts about this world and that makes you nurture your maturity. I can't say much about for myself b/c really the last time I blogged was back in May 3, 2007. But don't worry, I have my personal journal that I actually write my thoughts, prayers and insights. It's just hidden from you. Then there are moments like today, when I actually want to write something meaningful or not and for you take it in carelessly or thoughtfully. 2007 has been another blessed year for me. When I look back to January '07 to now, the events that have shaped me are memorable and unforgettable.
This would include...
The household at Jenilee's place, where I had a complete 'cry' fest moment b/c I was struggling with juggling work, school, service, family, paying bills, independent living, etc while my parents were gone for a month/half and I was left to take care of everything. The day I finally had the courage to quit Fedex work and realize I couldn't do everything all at the same time. If I do everything altogether, I found myself robotic and meaningless, b/c I'm tired all the time. This year in school I had been placed to work at Riverview and BC Children's. Then, I realized I may be interested in working pediatrics ICU one day. The mission trips to Terrace, Kamloops and Whistler I was priveleged to be part of and including multiple trips to Portland with my beloved brothers in the community. Sometimes I think they're just inviting me b/c I have a car to drive them. =) The day Richie and Vanessa came back from their mission training and had a vision to share for YFC Vancouver. The Yfc conference held in Vancouver, and I finally had the chance to serve for the first time. Despite the many years of service in the community, I patiently waited for the opportunity. =) The day I turned 25, and following the week after my birthday travelled to Thailand on my own for a nursing mission trip. Coming back from Thailand, I realized this would be one of the many travels I long to do. And now, working as a student nurse and finally doing something I've always prayed for a long time. Nursing isn't just for filipinos. It just so happened that God made me Filipino and gave me a caring heart. =D So for 2008, I wait for the gift God has in store for me. I hope you will too and always be reminded Faith is "the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen." God bless and Happy Blessed New Year! |
