Yes!! I am 1 year old today! It's been a long but fast year with a lot of ups and downs, happiness and difficulties, positive and negative year. Throughout this whole 1 year, I've learn a lot, a lot about God. Thinking back 3 years, when I first came to NZ, I was alone. I know nothing about this foreign place except its full with greens, cows and sheep. I started to make friends or tried to make friends with Kiwi's, Americans and other ethnic groups in the halls, hang out with them and just follow what they do without know what was the purpose of doing it. I still remember the first time I got drunk, went clubbing and the ridiculous things I've done that year. I feel disgraceful thinking about it now.
I think it all started when I was first introduced to OCF. Met a lot new friends there that year and felt the warmth and homeliness feeling there, without knowing anything about God. There was something that kept me attending every Friday meetings. It was interesting knowing God for the first time, even when my grandfather was a Christian, he never thought me anything about Jesus or God. It was something hard to believe, so I never did but I still kept going, for a whole good two years.
It was that one night that I attended a talk/discussion held by a church that made me make that decision. I still remember that moment, that night when I said the prayer and accepted Lord Jesus as my saviour. It's just unforgettable and I could not really describe how I feel.
A few months after that memorable day, I sometimes did ask myself if I did the right choice. It's been quite hard for me to change in some ways as its' been 'me' for the past 21 years of my life. Now it's more about 'You'. The struggles I had this year really did frustrates me a lot. I did not understand why and I doubted, for a while. But thanks to my brothers and sisters, I still and will always have faith, trust and love God. I understand that He will never do anything that will harm me.
So yes, I am really looking forward to the years to come that was planned by Him, and keep growing in Him, learning more and more, worship, praise and thank my wonderful God. Thank You!
