Life in 2009

Life this year has been really different from what I expected it to be. Yes, life is hard, life is busy, and I often find myself trying to finish what seems to be an insurmountable pile of work. Yet, this year, I also came to realise that life is beautiful.

Before 2009 begun, (end of 2008) I was not looking forward to 2009 at all. To me, 2009 just meant more work,more troubles and less sleep. Well, now that its already March of 2009, I can safely say that - I wasn't wrong! Haha.

--I don't know how to say this, but 2009 has been a wonderful year so far. Yes. Work has almost caused me to go insane, my sleep cycle is ruined ,I'm not exactly doing well for all my tests and I have been really distracted :/. Yet- this year has been really, really special.

On Thursday morning, I woke up with an overwhelming feeling of happiness. Happiness was just overflowing, and I was convinced, very convinced that it would be a very good day. The happiness I felt that morning, cannot be put into words at all...I knew deep down in my heart that a large part of the happiness came from God's love,the knowledge that God loves me, for who I am, the knowledge that life has a meaning--

Just a few nights ago, I read this Bible verse-
Love is patient,love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude , it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

This passage describes how God's love is like.
Of course- his love is greater than this, and language alone cannot convey his great and amazing love.

I urge you guys to stop and calm down to think about how 2009 has been for you so far-
For we can only learn something new if we stop and think-
For we can only appreciate and love this life if we stop and pray-
Life is a gift from God,
it's something we should treasure.
Its not easy to do that all the time
and I'm still learning how to.
