Happy new year.

Another year beckons. 362 days more to go.

Had our first OCF SA summer programme last night and Aunty M challenged us again on how are we going to live the remaining 362 days of the year.

Currently at uni using the internet to do some reading. Pray for me. I've got a paper on the 7th of Jan. or more like a presentation which requires a certain amount of reading and studying. Its super quiet here. As opposed to the usual busy-ness here at the com pools when it's hard to even get a computer.

I walked through Adelaide Uni's school of engineering today to get to the comp pools and i was again overcomed with gratefulness to Him. Sherny's coming over here in a couple weeks time and I am so excited. I can't wait. :) God has been so merciful to us as a family. 2008 really has been another year of receiving His mercy. Even when we did not deserve these things, out of His love and grace, He gave it to us. I look at Lynda's life too this year and even more, i am overcomed with a sense of gratefulness.

I think about mama and papa and the things they sacrificed for us and again, i'm blown away.

I am grateful too for cousins, aunts and uncles. Cousin Ben's around in Adelaide for a bit and eventhough i don't have much time to bring him around, i cherish the lazy-moments we have. (he's the musically gifted one and is here for a National Music Camp)

2009 has a lot of uncertainties.. as all new things do. Seeing how things have been unfurling in Israel the past few weeks, one can only wonder what God is doing and really, how long more do we have left. But i just would want to take a moment again, here, to give Him praise for the great things He has done and for what He is going to do and just totally surrender to Him trusting Him.
