Hello '08! This year will be an amazing one for sure, but before I go ahead with reflections for '08, here are a few things I learned in '07:
1) If you want things to be simple and uncomplicated, you need to actively seek
PEACE. Problems are part of the package of life but it is possible to lead a peaceful life in the midst of our troubles. Pray for peace - God listens!
2) There can never be such a thing as too much
JOY! Smiles & hugs all around, people!
If you had seen me with a frown anytime in ’07, it means I was either hungry, sleepy or a combination of both. Seriously. Haha.
3) “As I wait for you, maybe I’m made more
FAITHful.” Thanks Brooke Fraser! Learning to wait and believe in the things that we don’t see - now that’s a true gift.
4)
RESPECT is so necessary in any relationship. It saves people from a ton of hurt when everyone is honest and open with each other now than later, trust me.
5) “Everything You are to me, is everything I
HOPE for.” (Music & lyrics c/o the counterpart, Dexter Suban) Sure I make my plans, and I do my best to make things happen, but ultimately everything I do i is God’s work, not mine. And because of that, I am secure in His promises for me.
6) Nothing beats
FAMILY life. Sometimes quality time is scarce but I’ll take excessive food over the holidays, random family Bright Nights trip, English and Tagalog DVD sets (a recent discovery by my parents) and board game madness with the siblings any day!
7)
LOVE is an action - and actions speak louder than words. It doesn’t matter how many talks I’ve given on love, or how many stories I’ve shared about my lack of love life (haha) - bottom line, if I have not loved anyone, I'm completely missing the point (and yes, this includes those the are most difficult to love)!
Good thing the CFC theme for '08 is LOVE - not only is it an awesome reminder, but it is also the first and greatest commandment. Thanks, Jesus!
So it begins, everyone.
2008=year of 
. Woot woot, here we go! God bless!
