It has been another eventful year, characterized by so many changes in the world and in our surroundings. New opposition members in parliament, economic storms in US, Europe and perhaps even slowly brewing economic issues in China, earthquake in my beloved Japan, harsh property measures that will scare off foreign investors, etc. Even breakdowns for an efficient world-class transport system!!!
In the midst of these unsettling events, what stood out for me was that family and friends matter. I am thankful for them in my life.
Some of my friends were not well this year, and several were warded or had surgeries and I remind thankful that they have all recovered.
I know that my journey with God was especially meaningful this year and I had witnessed and experienced His gentle guiding hands leading me down the path that He deems best for me, despite my wilful needs to step away from what is expected of me or do it my way. I am thankful for another year of learning and growing. I am most thankful for a saviour who is there for me always.
