Lest I forget…all of Your goodness, the blood You have shed…

Well, hi to everyone who may potentially read this! I never thought I’d see the day I start blogging…haha…but I’ve decided to use this blog to remind myself of all the wonderful things God has done in my life n the lessons I’ve learnt along the journey of life.

To kick things off, I just wanna say that since the end of 2005, its just been blessing after blessing for me. 2005 had been one of the worse years of my life. Many of you won’t know of this but I suffered a serious back injury (required physiotherapy), went temporarily deaf due to an ear infection, fell sick often, barely passed my subjects, was an emotional and spiritual mess, and pratically struggled in everything. But I believe that God allowed me to go through these rough times to show me my weaknesses and draw me closer to Himself. Through it all, although some of my prayers were left unanswered during my rough times, but ever since the start of 2006, I’ve been blessed beyond measure. And my faith in God no longer depends on what I can see in the natural, but rather on the promises of His Word. Well, since the start of 2006, I attained 2 distinctions for both my summer school subjects, my back injury is slowly disappearing, I got my Australian Silver Driver’s Licence, and most of all, I’m one step closer to achieving my dream of becoming a doctor. All glory to God!

To those of you who haven’t heard of the news, I’m leaving Sydney and moving to Gold Coast on my own to study medicine. Woohooo!! Yeah I’m super excited, but also kinda sad to be leaving my family and friends back in Sydney. Gonna miss them all so much. However, everyone has been so supportive of my decision to move. Thanks guys! Currently my dream is to become an emergency room doctor, but I’m open to God’s leading cause his plans for me are far beyond that which I could ever comprehend.

Well, enough of that. Just a few hours ago, I was at the Sydney Convention Centre at Darling Harbour for Hillsong Church’s Easter celebration. For those of you who don’t know, Good Friday commemorates the death of Jesus Christ and Easter is a time where we celebrate His resurrection.  Three days after he was crucified and buried for our sins, Jesus rose again from the dead, taking with Him the keys of sin and death, so that whoever believes in Him may not perish but have eternal life. To my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I just wanna say, thanks for everything…for your grace, patience, mercy, and unfailing love! I’m eternally grateful.

At the Easter celebration, for the first time, I heard Rebecca St. James perform. She is a singer who sings both Christian and secular songs. Her type of music may not appeal to everyone, but I sure LOVED every bit of it! Yeah, so I spent AUS$30 on 2 of her cds. There was this one song that I really liked though. It’s called Wait For Me. It’s a song she wrote for her future husband (I think she’s unattached), promising him that she would keep herself pure for him and praying that he would do the same. Haha…it’s a good song for all the single people out there. But yeah, it really touched a soft spot in my heart. =)

Well, that’s all for my first post. Will write again soon hopefully…thanks for dropping by! God bless!
