most memorable bits and pieces of it…

1. the singing group at my door at 12am -thank you, lydia, ruth vinoth, emily tang, jun ling and sandra.
2. reading a letter i wrote to myself when i was 14 years old. it said on the front: To Lee Wai Yan, read on your 21st birthday. Jesus Loves You.
3. McDonald’s breakfast at 4am to celebrate my birthday with 14 others. i was in my zombie mode. –i am so grateful for friends who are willing to get up (or not sleep until) such an hour just to have McD’s together
4. my class singing ‘Happy Birthday’ for me hee.
5. i got free lunch and also a free compartmentalized container too!
6. one class getting cancelled and so i could finish up another assignment due that day. thank you, God.
7. bible study – i learnt about Christian unity. though i was a bit sleepy due to the 4am breakfast.
8. mamak and swensen’s ice cream after that such a surprise, the ice cream was! thank you mima us girls were so grateful and excited.
9. phone call all the way from australia –miss you, veili!
10. i rode a motorbike after a long time. thank you, bestfriend for letting me ride the bike.  hee.
11. all the gifts and cards and notes i got  

i say it again, i am blessed. thank you, God.

so, twenty one years old. what have i achieved and where am i heading to? there’s a lot to think about there. as of now, i’m going to do my best for God where i am now. throughout the years, i’ve learned to love a little more, hope a little more and have a little more faith. and God has been teaching me a lot, though i may not be a good student at times i’ve come to know my worth in God’s eyes and how precious i am to Him. i’ve discovered my heart a little bit more and have dealt with broken bits and pieces here and there. it’s beautiful how when God begins to come into our lives, He heals and restores. indeed, He makes everything beautiful in His time. i am still learning and growing in this walk. i still struggle, i still get disappointed and discouraged, i still cry. i still am human and i still make mistakes (lots of them :| ) but God still loves me – and that gives me hope.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:13

like i’ve said before,

in my life, i want to have more faith, more hope and more love

have a nice day. thank you again :)
