REFLECTION ON 2011

As this year draws to a close I just keep thinking wow...that went by quick...seems like these years go by faster and faster! Yikes!
We have had so many things happen this year...some good, some bad,
and some that still make me sad when I think about them...but through it all I have  survived. God still loves me evenif he doesn't see me in church for a long time now.
HE is no doubt still with me. I am so grateful for all the prayers he had answered .I found myself wondering a few times but as our faith teaches us... HE will never abandon HIS children if we care enough to turn to HIM. 

**I thank Him for my good health and everyone in the family . Most mportantly during
the times when the 'angel of death' was near...we got through that with the love, care and prayers of special individuals that had made permanent marks in my heart.
**I  once again was blessed to be able to take  overseas vacations this year. Infact I took three in all excluding the bonus holiday in Kuching for Tisha's college admittance.

*I took a trip to Hanoi ,Vietnam with my good friend Jo in April after getting a good bargain on the airfares months ahead.

*Prior to sending Tisha to UCSI in Kuching, Sarawak in August, we took a trip to Universal studio in Singapore.

*I was off again with Andrew and Yona for China ( yes...again ) in the middle of September for a ten days first class holiday .

*I got to spent some memoriable times with the girls on a 'trip of a lifetime- for some", climbing Mt Kinabalu

*I am blessed to be with the 'clan'  and the people I love most in my life on our yearly trip around Sabah.
*I have been blessed in love in ways that others have not been ...sometimes I think I take things like that for granted but let it be know that I am truly grateful.
.
*I am very thankful to still have my parents even if we don't see eye to eye on most subjects nowdays.  My love and respect still holds as they are the people responsible for my being here.

So this year eve's instead of the usual things I always put on my {new years resolution} "to do list" {which I rarely ever get done but still do as it's a yearly must thingy} .
......I pray that in the coming year...I will try my best to be a better role model to others...i.e, a better mother, daughter, sister, and friend...and to also try to be so much more thankful for all the blessings I recieve on a daily basis!

Like someone told me before... I have more than most people do.
Indeed I do have that......and Im dearly thankful.

Have a Blessed and Very Happy New Year Everyone!
