My greatest love is You


"Every new day Your glory unfolds
Filling my eyes with Your treasures untold
The beauty of holiness brings worship anew
My greatest love is You

Call me deeper into Your grace
The river that flows from the Holy Place
Wash over me, cleansing me through
My greatest love is You"

There's just eight months left if I am to count. I haven't really been writing about my life the past whole year. Most of my posts have been complaints about work instead. Instead of being a place where I write about the things I've learnt or love, I use it to rant.
And though blogs were created to give the owner that "personal space to call his or her own" to rant and let out, it wasn't my intention when I created this one.

The past months aren't all just complaints, there have been many many many good moments that I thank God for.

Although we're only about to end the month of June, I can still say that:

So far, it's been a year of reconciliation. Friends are hard to keep, but worth every effort.

It's been a year of joy.
When I first joined my present ward, my mindset and attitude was completely wrong. I didn't give my colleagues a chance to show me that they're really nice people. I wrote them off and compared them to the set of friends/colleagues I already had, even before I bothered getting to know them personally. Since the start of this year though, I've come to love many of them and even during busier days, at least I can still smile. Work's definitely becoming more fun.
There's also the joy I have with my family and in the church.

It's been a year of new experience.
I love all that I'm learning at work. Another is that I had my first vacation trip with my best friends. 11 days without any adult supervision. See all of us come from protective homes. We planned, came up with the money and the itinerary. The uncles and aunties have been a great blessing too. I'm also going to be participating in the YOG. Assigned to the village's clinic. So that's going to be another interesting experience.

It's been a year of coming back to God, individually and as a family.
Trusting God again for healing. Trusting Him for life.

Life is worth living, both good times and bad times.
There's no point complaining.

You've come a long way in your ward experience. You deserve a pat on the back for being brave and strong in those moments of sadness and need. God was always there with you and He came good with His promise that He will mold you into a more refined individual. And, He's not finished with you yet. :)
