My 2008 Year Ender

I know this is a pretty late 2008 year ender post. But then again, better late than never.

The past year was a whirlwind of new and adventurous things in my life. All things happened for a reason and God let me experience all these things because he wants me to learn and grow. 2008 has been good. Inspite of bad and risky economic conditions here in the US and in the Philippines, I never really felt the crisis. God's been great.

I just want to praise and thank Him for an awesome 2008.

- For allowing me to serve Him and his community through SFC
- For the awesome new friends I have met and old friends who have been my adoptive family the past year
- For a great client here in Phoenix and prolonging my stay here in Arizona. Working with them has really made me feel that I love consulting and being part of their team.
- For allowing me to fall and realize my mistakes
- For giving me enough courage and strength to let go of people who are not meant for me and just letting them find their own happiness without me.
- For buying me temporary happiness... Kimi, vacations, roadtrips
- For allowing me to see and be with my family twice last year
- For giving me an opportunity to put a little balance in my life
- For taking care of my needs and my family's needs back in Manila
- For growing in faith through the 2 CLP's that you've allowed me to serve, the love conference that you've allowed me to attend, and several SFC events in the other states that you've allowed me to participate in
- For just allowing me to survive homesickness and being independent here in Phoenix
- For blessing my friends with their own new families
- For making this special friend a part of my life and for letting him shower me with so much attention and care
- For always keeping me safe and giving me this great life I am always thankful for

Hopefully we could live in more "secure" times and not be too worried about saving up. First thing is to bail out my credit card from December's Holiday SPREE... that didn't come free!

Hahaha. Been there. Done that. My Manila trip was my most expensive 2-weeks vacation ever that's why I am not coming home this year. Haha.
