Dear 2010,


We had a wonderful run, you an I; and I cannot believe I would have to say byebye to you already.

I have to admit, it started kind of slow. Nothing special happened, I even got really sick beginning of the year which left scars - which you'd be proud to know, I have embraced already. :P

There were alot of melodramatic moments that I am already fortunately over and done with. But God has been really good and he answered alot of my prayers.  I am grateful.

Thank you 2010 for

- God's awesomeness
- the amazing EN2010 experience.
- countless chancess to start over
- my many wonderful friends that laughed with me, cried with me, gave me pep talks, scolded me and ultimately stood by me while I do all the crazy stuff I did this year.
- the surprisingly fun Anawangin trip.
- Regina Specktor and Hillsong and The Newsboys
- the marvelousness of Podcasts and Live streaming
- hugs and kisses received
- Lazy Sundays
- weheartit
- Starbucks and Yellow Cabs and Mickiedies
- my strong heart, my courage and my impossible need to get out of the rut I was in.


And so to round the year-up, here are some of my fave pictures of last year.

Love,
G

God you are my strength and my anchor

Thank you because when I feel myself slipping ever so slightly, you show me something that pulls me right back in.

Breathing In. Breathing Out. Shaking it off.

I cant help but be sad about losing phone twice in two weeks.  Really.  I cant help but feel sad about knowing bad things really do happen, and people are responsible for them.

Last night I cried.  I cried because I was sad but today I am shaking the dust.

God is graceful and He has been giving me really really good days - some are even great, and thats where I will focus. I am zooming in on the good stuff.

Breathing In.  Breathing Out.  Shaking it off.

iSuper love this!

Walk into it, breathe it in, let is crash through the halls of your arms at the millions of years of millions of poets coursing like blood pumping and pushing making you live, shaking the dust.

So when the world knocks at your front door, clutch the knob and open on up, running forward into its widespread greeting arms with your hands before you, fingertips trembling though they may be.

BlogLove

i love David Bonifacio's blog.  I love love love it.  It encourages me to always "Go to God" and to value the truly important stuff in life.

I got this from him.

You step up to the plate, you take a deep breath, you swing, and you hope you hit a home run. If it doesn’t work, you get another chance up at bat. If you don’t get another chance, there will be other ball games.

The Message

was checking tumblr just now and I saw this in my dashboard.  It made me smile.

“Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life—even though invisible to spectators—is with Christ in God. He is your life. When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you’ll show up, too—the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ.”


- Colossians 3:3-4 (The Message)

Closing cycles

Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.

Gone is the Fear

It is finally happening.  It feels kind of surreal. But I am not scared.  Last week I was, but today, i sat quietly and thought about it.  The fear is gone.

I have yet to sort all these things inside me, but one thing is for sure.  The fear is gone.

I dream

I dream of many many things.

I dream of yellow chucks, pink prada canvas tote and a green sidekick.

I dream of matte nail polish in assorted colors.

I dream of Hopeful tatooed in my right wrist and Faithful in my left.

i dream of a dog.  I used to dream of a pug.  A black cute pug.  The dream now evolved to a huge dog.  A brown lab that answers to snickers.

I dream of new job. new friends. new life.

I dream of weekends packed with fulfilling activities.

I dream of habitat for humanities.

I dream of wonderful Sundays.

i dream of eiffel tower and new york city and going to Ellen De Generes Show with Clang and Z.

I dream of a better world.

I dream of meeting people - people in the future that will totally change my life.

I dream of a stronger heart.  a heart with no doubts and fears.
