Happy New Year, peeps!!!

While the fireworks were going off at midnight, to mark the turning of the year... I was in the shower. All for that clean new start to 2011 - literally!

It was an awesomely delicious feeling to have that moment in time alone. With nobody else to scrutinize my life. Haha.

Nevertheless, I didn't have flashbacks of how my year went in 2010. I neither condemned myself for my extreme short-comings nor patted my own back for the stuff I did considerably well. One thing for sure - God has been merciful and gracious to me - for this I am thankful and humbled. Because my hope still lies in Him, I will look forward to beautiful things in His time.

Recently, I've been thoroughly inspired by reading John Ortberg's book, "The Life you've Always Wanted: Spiritual Disciplines for Ordinary People"... so there is something I truly want for year 2011...

More important than bearing fruit in my studies and work/ministry, I want to walk closer to God than I ever did the last year. I desire transformation.

I want to live the life I always wanted to live. Overflowing with the goodness of God that I've tasted from my intimacy with Him. Radiant with joy and hope. Passionate about investing in the lives of people (coz people matter to God). A great wife. A reliable friend. A diligent student. Yes, more than anything, a disciplined disciple of Jesus Christ.
