what a year!
much has happened in 2009, and i have much to give thanks for. i was asked to draw up a list of thanksgiving items the other week, and as i listed them down one by one, i felt a little overwhelmed by how blessed i am. here’s a snapshot of my thanksgiving, in no order of importance:
- being alive
- summiting and surviving everest
- God drawing me close
- guoyong
- still having a job after everest
- the love of my family, my parents, their food
- sunsets
- being reminded that peace can only be found in God
- our new place
- sisters
- marriage
- friends
- more time on my hands, without having to train 6 times a week anymore
- mountain biking
- coming back to a cg after many years
- being able to share the everest experience with others
- getting baptised finally
- God’s presence and His word, which comforted me in distress
- all the little bits of marriage and wedding stuff that pieced together
