Reminiscence

2014: the Year of Greater Glory



January: meeting new friends. That's always fun, talking about the Bible and essentially enjoying fellowship at its finest. Awesome jump-start to JC Math as well.

February: School starts and motivation resumes. Encouragements exchanged, hearts lifted, minds set on success unto the glory of God. The year indeed will go great.

March: The month where my emotional level picks up. Kingdom Invasion gave me one heck of a ball of confusion, and my mind started wandering from the spirit realm to the heart's realm.

April: The confusion and convolution continues. My GP kicked off with a dismal U, and a 1.9 percentile (based on the final year report card). None of my cellmates celebrated my birthday. I felt like ruins. And heard the song Glorious Ruins for the first time.

May: I then consider my life like a cosine curve, starting positive but then starting to dip past the zero point and hit the negative. Holding on, but struggling a whole lot more than before, in my emotions, confusion maxima.

June: I blogged about this one. When I said May was the worst, I meant June, actually. June literally was the pits, the abyss of that cosine curve. Still clinging on, but so so convoluted in my thoughts and my feelings.

July: Repentance came. I turned to the Lord once more. It's time to live none of self but all of Christ. And finally, I climb out of that cosine curve.

August: The final 5 weeks in Riverlife, and my realisation of the church's love for me grew. The love of God in His people. Awesome farewell, awesome people.

September: On the church hunt and trying to get Dad to settle down, but to no avail. Schoolwork getting friendly to me, or if it were daunting, the Lord freely gave HIs strength to overcome. Finally at the zero point again when I was previously at negative.

October: Promos over and PW/Chinese season. Definitely pressurising, but empowering. Wave after wave of grace came, and fresh hope that the friends that I hold dear deep down will experience a fresh wave of salvation. The hope of repentance that some how, I don't know how or when, but because we are God's highly favoured, they will come to repentance once more.

November: OP, stunning Promos results, A*STAR internship, H3 Acceptance. Not without ups and downs, but hey, what fun is a roller coaster without them both? Emotionally stable, favoured by God and by men. This is the fruition of the road of recovery that started in July where I made the declaration: "None of self, all of Christ"

December: An awesome end to yet another awesome year. All because of the favour of God. The Year of Greater Glory.
