I'm wondering why for this period of time, I keep laughing all the day. When I truely feel the presence of God, tears trickle down. :)
I'm enjoying my last few hours of being 17 years old! It's good. Great time and success that God has given for me to achieve. At this moment when I'm typing this blog, I'm actually supposed to do my Geography homework. I just wanna spend a few minutes to really tell you guys about my wonderful, amazing and happening 17th age.
I remember, one year ago, my churchmates celebrated my birthday on 22nd July. It was the day I had my first usher duty and also the Fighter team made the history for Usher Ministry - more than 400 chairs in 15 minutes. I was so new in church, most probably 4 weeks of being Christian. I hadn't known church tradition of celebrating birthdays like making my hand to the direction towards myself - a sign of blessing from God. I was totally blur!
One year ago, I was quiet and didn't talk much like right now. God has changed me within one year to be His truely child. Over the year, I have got more cheerful, more hilarious, more happening, more inspiring and more talkative. At this moment, I don't think that I'm a bit demented as people see I have been laughing a lot. I'm just happy. Life is so happening to me so it's fun! My favour in God and in men has been increased. My classmates talk more to me, not like at the beginning of last year. I'm now considered to be in 'Crazy-human forest' of the class, non-stop jokes! :D
One year ago, I didn't contact with my parents much. It was once per week. Like God has taught us in the Bible, whoever respects their parents will be blessed. It is true. Right now, my parents confide with me a lot, for everthing single thing happened in the family that I didn't have a chance to witness. I call them, not once per week but once per day, 7/7 days! I feel more blessed.
One year ago, I didn't give much effort in my study. I didn't see the importance of studying in my life. But God has given me a purpose. I'm here to study and to grow in wisdom. My dreams will have no limits with my wisdom and knowledge.
...
For all these blessings, I truely thank God for making me grow so much. Thanks Pastors. Thanks leader. Thanks church mates. Thanks family. Thanks friends. Thanks teachers. Thanks all for making my 17th age to be beautiful, awesome and colourful. Truely, amazing grace!
...
For 18th age is coming, wishes have come.
* I might be the oldest person in the CG. Ahem! But it's ok! Old enough to bully them, LOL!
* I was wondering about the thing that I can watch M18 movies. Oh! But glancing back to past, I just watch G, PG and NC16s movies, most probably Gs and PGs. Who says 18-year-old can't watch cartoons? Oi! Who says I can't grow bigger? Huh?
* This is exciting! I can drive soon! LOL ... I envision myself in a blue MiniCooper convertible! Hahaha.
Anyway, I wish myself to have another amazing life in God! :)
The first: I came back home from school today. I opened the door and drag my lethagic self into the room. I saw a letter. At first, I guessed a birthday card? From overseas? Who? I opened and saw Pastor Lia's handwriting. A birthday wish from Pastor Lia and Pastor How with a verse.
"And Jesus increased in wisdom, stature, in favour with God and men" - Luke 2:52.
The second: I went online just now. My Chemistry teacher whom I considered one of the best teacher in life, wished me sweet 18! Haha.
Other wishes will come as I have been expecting right now - at this moment!
Again a thank to all!
LY ♥ JESUS!
