Looking Back to Give Thanks and Moving Forward with Great Anticipation 25th Jan... Wow.. It has been 23yrs living on the earth! Looking back there are up and downs in life however something that grips hold my heart and fill my inner hole of emptiness is the Creator King-- Jesus. Through these years He never lose His patience on me. His patience and love is really boundless... I rejected Him again and again... deny Him again and again.. however the key hole in my heart knows that the owner is near... nearer... and nearer... cant deny, nor reject but to accept the Creator-- someone who knows me well even before I was born and someone who knows the plan for my life. Here's the the 3 F's in my life: The 1st F is Friends. If you ever ask my secondary school friends about me, they will describe me as a person who simply “blends into the wall”. It is true indeed! I liked to do things alone and quietly, thinking that it would be more efficient. Life was monotonous and unchallenging; there was no presence of motivation. Until one fine day, one of my secondary school friends, who was also my enemy invited me to her church. I visited twice but there was apparently nothing that captivated my heart. I was closed up and very resistant to share about my life to people. I still remembered vividly that there was one night emptiness quickened my heart and I started to ponder over my life. I asked myself this, “Am I going to live in this way for the rest of my life? Dull, boring, unexciting, no challenges… and the list go on…” Here come the 2nd F ‘Fullest’- I started seeking for an answer to live my life to its fullness and I finally made a decision to receive Jesus Christ into my life. It took a 180 degrees change in me. God’s unfailing love touched my heart and I started to understand the purpose of life. I became more sociable in my poly days and was actively involved in school. I learnt to be more initiative in making new friends too. My poly friends couldn’t believe how I was like previously; neither do my secondary school mates, who witness the change in me. Life can be filled with positive challenges and excitement which are not bounded by physical age but by our perspectives. The word L.I.F.E is more than just filling in with Love, Investments and Experiences. Without the 3rd alphabet F ‘Faith’, there won’t be a deeper experience of life anymore. Now, I’m anticipating in seeing many breakthroughs in my life in the near future. Of course, I know life is never like a bed of roses, but it comprises of challenges stacked upon me. However, each challenge will mould me to become a stronger Leanne. Having faith is to believe in what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. The life that I am living in now is so enriching and fulfilling, everyday is a new day to explore and discover out of the routine of my life! As the social circle is enlarging, it's so amazing to think about God's creation. Indeed every one is uniquely created by Him. Blogger posted at 1:49 AM.
