merry christmas ~
honestly, really not in the "Christmas mood" this year or however it's defined.
however, i was pleasantly surprised by two girls who dropped texts of wishes this morning & just felt so thankful for God's hand for putting them in my life in the past year. :')

as i reflect about true meaning of Christmas, it is certainly one that should be celebrated for - Jesus' entrance into earth.
but just thinking about what followed in His life - the hardships, the judgement, the accusations, persecutions, etc; it seems really gloomy out of a sudden. He was brought to mankind to go through these, to set the example for us to follow, and eventually die for our sins.

who else could ever measure up to what He has done?

really, just no one.

thus, i'm praying that this season of Christmas, i'll be reminded that Jesus will be my only and sole fortress in my life as i enter the new year. may i stop falling into the pits - depending on things that do not last - but fixate my eyes on the only One who provides and saves.

this semester has been so, so rough.

a test on my mental capacity, and even up till the final day, the physical being is attacked.

for the past 1.5 months, i've refrained myself from breaking down.

but last night, it was so hard..

i thought i've gotten stronger from the previous trial,

but i guess, things will only keep getting harder.

and i'll just get stronger with time.



really thankful for the blessings throughout this rough time though.

with time, all these shall pass too.

and i'll get stronger. :-)


thankful for the reminder from God through hillsong svc this morning :')
