Thank You, Merry Christmas

Thank You QiGeBaGe for the wonderful thanksgiving gathering yesterday at Lucien's. The committee outdid themselves with the dangling blue stars, I was observing them closely and I noticed they even went into details like putting glitter glue outlines (nifty!) and further more, stealing borrowing a star from Cold Storage. Lucien's pretty funny too, scurrying around the house, making sure everything was organized and alright for us (don't you think that I forgot you!) Food was not bad, I didn't get to try the shepherd's pie though, the honeydews in the potato salad was scrumptious, the cold ham was good (i missed ham) and the chunky pasta was fun to eat (i missed pasta too).

So, I'll be in the civilian world up till Tuesday. I really missed all of you! Seeing familiar smiling faces during the party was very comforting (especially when you compare to what kind of black faces I see in camp). I was reflecting on 2006 when Grace was talking during the party and truly, this year has been a challenging roller-coaster ride. But I guess I am really glad that I have been found by Jesus (eventually) and where I am now, is really a turn around from what I was in the beginning of this year. Jesus loves us beyond the wreckage of our lives to what we might become. In this year, I learnt to love my family, I learnt to love God (and still learning), I got to discover more about myself, and of course, I got to know so many beautiful people (yes, you included) and even to play a part in your precious lives. God has blessed me with peace, hope and much much love.

I am thankful, and
From the bottom of my heart,
I missed you all. And I love you all.
Happy Christmas, Happy Thanksgiving.



2007, here I come!
