1 month to go! i can't believe the year is nearly over. have i done everything i needed to do this year? have i regretted anything? well it's been an amazing year.. finally graduated from uni, became a full time, felt peace inside of me, laughed + cried with my close friends, learnt who i could depend on, be pushed to the limit, and was taken out of my comfort zone. i wouldn't have made it through this year without certain people (they know who they are). continuing to give me support in whatever i do. thank you from the bottom of my heart. and of coz, thank You, the One above.

as a person i'm still learning + growing. at times i felt like i wanted to give up, but i know that He wouldn't want me to run away from my problems. i have to face them + overcome them. it's been a hard year, feeling the pressure, being stressed out, being emotionally drained, feeling tired + not getting enough strength to do things, but somehow i made it.. because I can do all things through JC.

the other day, i was listening to my music in the car:

so many reasons to be thankful
so many blessings that i can't repay
and i never would've made it here without You
sending angels to guide me on my way

You keep givin me joy
You keep givin me happiness
You keep givin me hope
You keep givin me everything i wish
You keep holding me up
when i'm about to fall
and if even all of that was not enough
You keep givin me love

sometimes we feel like there's no one there to talk to or give you advice or cares, but there's the One above that listens to every word you speak, wipes every tear you cry, knows what you're thinking + feeling, and laughs with you when you've got the giggles.

i love this song:

for just a moment
i wish i could have been there
to see your first step, hear your very first word
tell me, did you ever fall and scrape your knee?
did you know your wounds would one day heal the world?

for just one moment
i wish i could have seen you growing
learning the ways of a carpenter's son
just a little boy gazing at the stars
did you remember creating every one?
if you passed by, would i have seen a child or a king?

would i have known?
i wish i could have been there
my only wish is to see you, face to face
wish i could have been there
just to see you, Jesus, face to face

for just a moment
i wish i could have been there
when you left your footprints upon the waves
to walk along beside you and never look away
just your whisper and the wind and sea obey
to see you feed the people
to feel your healing in your touch

i wish i could have been there
my only wish is to see you, face to face
wish i could have been there
just to see you, Jesus, face to face

to hear you pray in the garden alone
laying down your will with each tear
to see you walk that lonely road
willing to die for me
and in that moment
i know i should have been there
you took my cross and gave your life
and you live again, oh
and you live again!

wish i could have been there
my only wish is to see you rise again
wish i could have been there
my only wish is to see you, Jesus, face to face

someday i'll be there, i'm gonna be there
i'll see your face, your mercy, your grace
someday, someday
i'm going to see you, Jesus
face to face
