The old has gone, the new is coming


Looking back shouldn't pull you down. It should only motivate you to move forward. I guess that its good that things have been cleared up. I try to be honest with the people around me. I try to say things that matter without appearing judgemental. I really hope that people can be that way with me too! Sometimes people don't care enough to point out your mistakes and thats really a shame.

I find ridiculous it how people can draw conclusions about others by only knowing one aspect of their lives. It just doesn't make sense... For example, I write poems when I'm depressed... So my poems are sad. But is it fair to draw the conclusion that I suffer from depression because all the poems I write are sad?
Likewise, all of me isn't portrayed in this blog. It reveals me, but it isn't all of what I am.

I've decided to put away the money that I've collected through Chinese New Year to save for my Rhema Education. Heard that it was about $250 a term. So 8 terms x $250 = $2000... I think I have enough for one term already. Haha...

Dear God... I'm sorry for the way I behaved this past week. I was out of line. Not so much the things I did, but more of what I thought. Forgive me. Thank You for sending people to encourage me to keep going. Thank You for putting things in perspective again. Thank You for bearing with me. Help me as I try to become what You want me to be.
