This year...

It's been another year ... as one grows older... every year suddenly has greater importance.

I remember when I was really young (not too long ago) I would always look forward to another year.... hoping for something in the coming year... looking forward to something new...

With the passing of time (and increase in age), the looking forward act is usually accompanied with a turning around glance... an act to see how fruitful the year has been.... a time to count my blessings from God.

Going home is like Chinese New Year to me.... it's so exciting to meet my friends and family... I really miss my family.... so to be back to see them... it has become such a privilege.

This year... I became an Uncle, without fulfilling the role of one... this year... my parents grew older... this year... I miss them even more... this year... I am blessed more by God.

This year.. I moved to a different job, and am blessed with people whom I enjoy working with (so far)... this year... I get to learn something new on my job.

This year... my relationship with God was not so consistent... I really need to work on that.

This year, I am 29.

I was just thinking to myself, as I walk towards the big 3... Life would be really pretty meaningless for me, if I didnt have God....

Grew up studying and had lotsa fun along the way... made great friends.., then start to earn money.... then try to travel alot... to "gain in life"..... then get married... then try to be a good parent to raise up my kids... then when I hit 50s... i am considered old and pretty useless... and it's like life is just about waiting for time to pass and finally die and go to dunno where... I literally had that sad thoughts a few days ago...

Then I realized... thank God... I have God... I live my life learning about Him... (try as I might)... live my life finally opportunities to tell people about him... (i need to work harder on that- walk across the room)... I help the poor and he sees it... i care for others and He notices....

I tell people about God, so people who receive Him will be filled with a purpose in life....

And finally... when the time come for me to leave this world... I do not go into "nothingness", but I go to heaven... where God is... where everything good is...

It is so wonderful....

230am now.... flight at 740.... leaving at 430am. wooohoo!

Thank God!
