2012 is ending in a couple of minutes time. I'm at home and as expected, I do not have the intention of going out to party and celebrate the new year. I'm feeling nostalgic... Back then when i was 17, I transitioned into the new year (2011) at Mount Elizabeth A&E because my Dad's condition got worse. That feeling sucked. Knowing that the rest of the world is out there celebrating and here you are all miserable and feeling sad for yourself. I think I really matured at that point in time and braced myself for all adversities already.
Tonight, I am reflecting about the past mistakes I have committed in 2012 and how much I've grown spiritually. The results are dismal, I am ashamed to say :/ Throughout University, I think I've been caught up too much with "growing up" and neglected my Bible studies as well as my academics. However, I'm glad that I've come down to the root of the problem and I intend to take action on it. Yesterday's sermon talked about how Christians today seldom feel the magnitude of God's omnipresence in our lives. We do not learn to fear (Fear is used in terms of awe-inspiring and respecting) God, thus our walk is feeble. It affects everything we embark on. Next, we also often impose our own perceptions and interpretations on the Scripture. For example, many think that once we accept Jesus as our Savior, our lives will be smooth sailing because we are loved by Him. False, very false perceptions we have.
So what are my resolutions for 2013? I shall not reveal it here because I feel that it is a personal commitment made to oneself that only we ourselves can implement it. However, I don't mind sharing one thing- do intend to get Baptized in 2013 during the 3 month school break to reaffirm my walk with Christ :) Have a great year ahead and God Bless!
