goodbye 2007

what a year! phew, its over, i say. =) '07 must have been my most difficult year ever. but its so so nice to be able to just sit now, feeling at peace and rested, and just smile.

quote from my senior paster: "go to God with an empty cup and He will overflow it. go to God with an empty barrel, and He will overflow it. " indeed, i must, i must increase my appetite for God in the new year.

as i sit here and reflect upon the past yr, there's only one word that seems to sum up all that i'm feeling now: Gladness. how i've come to this point, is really quite amazing. its His doing i tell u.

i receive the new year with hope, so much of it. (despite going twenty-FOUR.. thats so dreadfully old)




Here I am, Oh God
I bring this sacrifice
My open heart, I offer up my life
I look to You, Lord
Your love that never ends
Restores me again
So I lift my eyes to you Lord
In your strength will I break through Lord
Touch me now, let your love fall down on me
I know your love dispels all my fears
Through the storm I will hold on Lord
And by faith I will walk on Lord
Then I'll see beyond my calvary one day
And I will be complete in You
