I think I started off year 2010 pretty well, fun and meaningful! :) Yesterday was 1Jan and I went on a shopping trip with my mum. There happened to be many sales going on and I managed to buy all my new year clothes in a day, from Forever 21, Pepperplus and FOX :) Haha feels great to have gotten all my CNY clothes in advance. I don't rlly like last minute shopping!
Yesterday's shopping trip was more of the fun part. I mean like HELLO IT'S SHOPPING YKNOW!!! Love shopping lol. Okay anyway, today was the meaningful part :) Thank God for today's service and NE sheps meeting that was so refreshing and timely! I think point two of today's sermon is more applicable for me - Desire greater things from God :) In year 2010, I believe with all my heart that God has even greater, more wonderful and new things in store. Therefore, I need to trust in His plan and have a high level of expectancy. Besides that, I was also kinda of reminded of the fundamentals of Christianity - quiet time. To have a greater desire for God, I really need to spend QUALITY DAILY QUIET TIME! Yeah and that would require more discipline on my part (:
In 2 Corinthians 5:17, it says "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" With the passing of the 2009, I'm learning to let go of things that will hold me back such as grudges/ insecurities/ past failures etc. In the NEW year 2010, I hope to embrace NEW changes and NEW things that will come my way, trusting in an unfailing God :)
The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it. -Thomas S. Monson
