Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours

It’s the last day of 2008. Time to make endless resolutions? Yup, they are already in my diary. Haa. Next? I have mixed feelings with regards to the coming of 2009. It marks the last semester in NIE and a new beginning to another environment when I get posted to a school to formally commence teaching. Will miss all my friends who stood by me for the past few years. Then, the concerns start to pour in. Will there be poignant politics ahead? Arduous tasks in school? Scheming colleagues? Haha. These are beyond my control so I can only begin praying for the best according to His definition. Trusting our omnipotent God can never go wrong! There are so many things to thank God for…
TomSumJo – You give me a glimpse of God’s unconditional love and I still wonder at times how in the world I managed to have treasures like you. Yes, am writing with a blurry sight as tears well up in my eyes. Yeah, the ultra emotional side of me is emerging again. Thank you for all the time you have spent on and with me. Am not good with words but you know how much you mean to me…
Aunt Ruby (not forgetting my dear cousins, Krystal and Esther) – The aunt closest to me since the genesis of Gillian? Thanks for all the sharing and prayers. Thanks for all the reminders to ‘stay on the right path’ and ‘walk in the destiny’. Thanks for being a prominent and motherly figure in my life.
Rus – As we are attending different churches now, the periodic gatherings are a real blessing as we share our deepest secrets and catch up on what have been going on in our lives. You may not know but your fervour for the Lord is infectious!
Marie – One my ‘bestest’ buddy in NIE. Your company means a lot to me and I believe it wasn’t an accident sitting next to you years back in the Science laboratory. It takes effort to maintain any relationship and guess what? We made it!
Ching – The seriously funny and blur gal in weird times. Haha. I miss our cycling adventures in Yishun and Sembawang. I love our meaningful as well as amusing conversations. More badminton practices?
Shuxin, Sylvia and Mich Heng – We grew closer surprisingly after the crossover. Will always reminisce about the hilarious times spent in the school canteen, café and Mindcafe. KTV again?
Mich (Tan) and Ernita – Call it a package but girls are often in groups so we are all linked up. Crazy people are meant to be together! Thanks for all the fun and laughter as you spice up my life!
There are just so many relatives and friends whom I am thankful for. Dage – always loving me like a real bro. Danny – all the JB trips and shopping. Uncle – a friend close at heart. AK – for being so inspiring in endless ways. Ah Drew – a person whom I can always bully without guilt. Pearlyn – for seasoning life at NIE. Sunshine club (Mich Tong, Ray, Kei, Didar, Kuen, XY etc.) – believe I am one of the oldest member there? Grace – one of my most adorable grown-up students. Phemie – a godly woman whom I can always text for prayer requests. Er Niang – one of my precious oldest primary school friends. The list goes on and on. Yup, like the famous ‘My Heart Will Go On’. Most importantly, I want to thank God for His faithfulness, mercy, grace, love… … He sees me through my sorrows, fears and pain.
Singing ‘Time To Say Goodbye’ to 2008 as I usher in a fruitful 2009! A blessed New Year to all!
