Year 2 Semester 1 has indeed been one of the most gruelling periods of my life yet. I find myself at a loss sometimes, facing people, and even God as He drags me along the route I have to go through, no matter how much I'm unwilling to. Then again, I'm reminded of His Great Love that He disciplines all He loves. Sometimes I feel unworthy, but we are all unworthy in the first place. Its not by what we have done to deserve His love, because if it was, we do not deserve it. Its because God loved us so. The price He paid on the cross justified it. He died a heavy price for each of us, making us "worthy" in His death.
Here's a list of Thanksgiving I thought of while on the way to my last paper yesterday (apparently my mind can't think anymore due to studying so I decided to think something else)
1) Thanks my Mum for cooking for me everyday, although I come home late and grumpy and make u stay up late waiting for me
2) Thanks Kwok Kiong, my course mate and buddy for calling me in the (not so) early mornings asking me where I am for lectures.. as sometimes I'm still sleeping at home.
3) Thanks Wee Kian and Haihui, my med chem module group partners who had to do the fronts parts of the report as I came down with a serious flu that time.

15) Lastly, I want to thank God:
for having each day brand new to choose to live a life glorifying You,
for forgiving me and guiding me by your Holy Spirit,

for the warm home i'm able to rest in
for knowing You. its the best gift I've ever had.
