Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone and may the Lord continue to shower us with His Grace and Mercy and that we continue to walk in His path and to do everything with one single purpose, to glorify His name!

So much has happened in 2005 but I must first give thanks to the Lord for loving me so and for patiently waiting for me to return to Him. When I was baptised on Easter Sunday, I could feel the Holy Spirit washing over me and the tears of joy and exhilaration were too much to hold back!

Although I have never lost heart in our Lord but there have been times when I feel "luke warm". I know He loves me but sometimes I do hope to "hear" Him. The funniest thing is He speaks to me constantly thru His Words and thru the Angels He placed around me but being a greedy person, I wanted to "hear" Him personally...just liked when He first "spoke" to me in Feb 2004. Then a friend reminded me about growing in maturity in my faith and I know that I still have so much to learn.

I have not put forth new year's resolution for many years now and I am not sure if I wish to start one now. But I do pray to the Lord to never let me lose faith! I pray that He will continue to guide me and that I will always "hear" AND "follow" His Words. There have been times when I seeked and the Lord gave me His guidance repeatedly but I chose not to listen. And when I went about my own ways and was falling into a mess (just as He was trying to prevent all along) He didn't abandon me. He put His protective arms around me and lifted me up from the rubbish. Thank you Lord for always being there for me. I pray that I will learn to "heed" Your Words.

And Lord, I know the New Year didn't start on the best note as I returned to the office and I pray that you will forgive me for my outburst. But I know the Lord that You are there for me as You teach me to "return to the world with compassion, loving deeds, kind words, and warm smiles." As we are here to serve one master only, You the Lord, that we should not heed but also not to begrudge those in the market place that do not have the benefit of know You the Lord.

And I wish to pray to the Lord to give me wisdom to deal with situations arise in the market place so I may turn every situation into an opportunity to glorify You. And I pray that I will always understand the purpose you have for me in the work that you want me to do now. And most importantly to remember all Your Teachings!

Thank you Lord for loving me unconditionally and praise you Lord for being the all knowing Lord of lords and King of kings. Amen!
