a new day

this is when 2014 starts.

not literally when the clock ticks 00:01 on the first day of the year, nor when the sounds of fireworks and cheering crowds blend into one. we went to the windy damp beach on the first day of the year, and it felt the same. such an odd day of the year with some lovely cheery friends. world war z the next day and bit more wandering around and eating some sweets at stephen's.

home time.

im feeling rather grateful to be home this time. i started to enjoy the crazy crowds and eager to observe how people build their life here. it is not bad at all, it is just different. and in all of sudden i realised how silly and confused i have been in the past six months -- maybe i should call it as a grace period.

i listed down my work to-do-lists yesterday, seems many. but i will still have another lists to do beyond that.

definitely.

this word caught my mind these days. there this crazy hope started to spring again that yes, God will definitely fulfil His promises and bring them into completion. He is definitely the Almighty one, the only Savior, the King of all. i guess in this stage of life, i know i tend to be a cynic in many cases. please note that this is not intentional, i actually don't want to. i am humbled though to be reminded once again that i control nothing in my life, it is somebody else's job and i do not need to worry because of that.

so, without adding more mushy words. i just want to say lets start this year knowing that God is in control and He is with you definitely in any season. He is good and faithful.

and for today i thank You.
