11 days to go before Christmas... i've heard a lot of people say "it's beginning to look/smell/feel like Christmas". and although i am not in "high" spirits, i've been given chances to learn more about our "waiting" for Christ's coming through recollections, talks, e-mails, etc. and i'm happy going through so many rough patches this year and coming out more stronger and all these for His greater glory.
This year, i went through so many battles i know the only reason why i'm still here is because God has been taking care of me. He has sent so many instruments to strengthen me, to make me not lose my ground and to love Him more despite the difficulties. there are a lot of times i wanted so much to give up. it's a roller coaster of ups and downs and twists... but in the end, i know i can get past those rough patches because He knew i can and i am fulfilling His plan for me.
it's still goint to be rough, i know... but hopefully, the "blows" next year will not be as bad as this year... or i hope to handle it better next year. :)
Thanks to all of you who helped me get through my rough patches, and for still being here, never relenting and never losing patience over the countless times i've stumbled and fall. I sincerely thank you... you know who you guys are. Love you!
The year's not yet ending... and i really hope to experience more of the real reason for this holiday... that Christ came to save us, that God so loved the world He gave us His only Son. And through Jesus, we will always have hope that tomorrow indeed is a better day. :)
