..be transformed by the renewing of your mind

It has been a fastastic year.

In this year, I’ve got more of the hang at my job area and became more “steady” and more confident.

I’ve even been the champion at my ward party for being the most deployed staff of the year (50 times) to different departments all around.

I’ve been to several funerals, and one of my friend’s father passed away before she turns 21.

I’ve become more financially stable and independent after working for a year.

Learnt driving and flunked the test. hahahah. It’s alright as I need to learn how to “have grace under extreme pressure”. Driving isn’t as scary as I thought.

Patched up some old friendships from my secondary school years.

Made good friends with some of the colleagues at work whom I used to be afraid of.

My parents approved for me to go for baptism. And I got baptised this year.

First time attending Church camp in Batam this year.

Becoming more involved in the society that my mother pulled me to join.

Able to break free from some bad things that I wanted to stop doing.

Enrolled myself in the best part-time university for my profession currently recommended by a top-shot gun known by my mom.

I’ve been out of a long-term relationship (nearly 5 years), thank God for that too. God will not give you a scorpion if you ask for a fish.. or a stone if you ask for a bread………

Last day of the year…

I just really want to thank God for watching over me, and guiding me, giving me strength when I’m weak and down.

For a new day too.

Hallelujah… praise the Lord.

I’m beginning to know more and more of what I want in life now.

And I’m gonna stand firm on that….

It is important in many situations, to have your own opinion, instead of depending on others’ advice or directions. I mean not to depend, but it is perfectly fine to ask others. You still must have your own sense of what to do. Because, I believe that everyone is also a human and they may not give you the right answers. Sometimes, things go wrong especially when you trust what others say, and you find that is wrong actually. So, judge matters from your own view first, but you can also consult others, but you must have your own view and judgement, lest others mislead you.

Don’t care what other people say that you should have. Like for e.g that you are single like me, and they keep on insisting you to get a mate. You should not be influenced by them to get what they think you should have.

And don’t envy others’ success, it is futile, fruitless, in vain. Instead, look at what you can do to upgrade yourself or how you can improve from here. Wouldn’t that be more meaningful? What meaning would there be if you want to improve yourself just to match up to others? Even if you did, you would still be insecure wouldn’t you?

(These are some self-talk in my head today. Talking to myself actually. Just sharing on the blog)
