A more happening year!

Am encouraged after reading M’s blog about her year 2005, one that is so fulfilling and rewarding. I have always thought that she leads a very happening life! In the good sense, I mean.

By comparison, my life is much slower paced, less activities, more predictable etc. And I have a desire to break out of this monotony, do things that are different, step out of my comfort zone, experience new stuff. Wow, just thinking about it excites me. No, it may not be big steps, but doing things differently in little ways will surely be steps in the right direction. I have listed some areas that I hope to improve in, and am adding to the list day by day. Haha... Good intentions, and some are God-inspired I'm sure.

No doubt the practical side of me maintains some skepticism about biting off more than I can chew, planning to implement too many changes. Well, I'm going ahead anyway, to map out action plans. Call me optimistic or naive, but I'm gonna commit these areas to God, and see His hand of guidance and leading. The time is now, not in when I grow old. Amen!

On a separate matter, we had cell yesterday, and though there were only 4 of us, it was a good time of sharing and encouraging one another. I thank God for preparing me in advance regarding this week's cell, that despite the many changes in plans and low turnout, I experienced God's peace and joy. In fact, I approached the meeting with much anticipation of what God is doing in each of our lives. Indeed, as we shared, we hear testimonies of His faithfulness and goodness. J's wife, L shared about the importance of praying every morning and committing each day to Him. What a timely reminder. Thank You Jesus!
