I woke up early today and decided to stay home to do some reflections. Stayed in my room and started to dig things out from every corner. Firstly was letters! Reading letters one by one really bring me back to old times and remind me of some close friends that I had lost contact with.
Although I felt some disappointment having to lose contact with those wonderful friends, but at least I managed to keep wonderful memories! Letters from primary school friends reminded me of the innocent period of school life! All the cheeky stuff we used to do. Girls ganging up to fight with the guys at basketball court after school, having to bluff our parents to go out together, having a bonded class where we all treated each other like real brothers and sisters etc. To be honest, I'm really glad that I'm still being able to be in contact with most of my primary school friends!
Letters from secondary school friends! Comparing them with the letters i read just now, really shows that secondary school was really a huge jump from primary school! Reading the letters really reminded me of seniors who had always been around me to guide and advice me, juniors who had always been ever so supportive of every decision made, and of course peers who had always been standing by to help and lend their hands! I'm proud to say I'm still in contact with almost all my secondary school friends! =) Even seniors who had graduated 3 years ago!(",)
Then i started to look at msn conversations that I saved, sms that are still kept in my phone, email in my inbox, now I have new group of friends who are always there for me when I needed someone to talk to, someone to lean on!
Most of all, the important lesson I learnt through this first session of reflection is that since young, everyone already started to have different kind of problems! Every period that we go through, there's bound to be obstacles that we have to overcome.
God has His plan for us long before we were brought to this world! Every little problem is in His plan for us. Every problem He put us through is a test of our faith.
Everytime we look back at our past and ask, why is there only a set of footprint?? I thought God promised that He'll never let us walk alone and He'll always go through our difficult times with us?? Yes!! There's only one set of footprints because He kept His promise, He carried us through our most difficult times, that's why you only see one set of footprints! Those footprints belong to Him! =)
Everytime when we're feeling sad or lost, we start looking around us but find that we're all alone, and we'll start asking I thought God will never leave me?? Yes!! He didn't and will never leave us alone. He just kept to His promise and went ahead of us to make our paths clear!
Sometimes when we're feeling down and helpless, we wonder why is it friends around us and we can't feel Him. You know why?? It's because those friends around us are sent by God to do His work! That's why we always hear people saying that friends are God-sent angels in our lives =)
It's today that I finally understand this. Looking back in my life, everytime when I fall, there's always someone by my side! I'm glad for all the friends out there! No matter what, once a friend, friends forever =)
Secondly, I went on to look at photos! From young till now, I realised i really grew and changed alot! At least changed to someone who has more confidence in herself. I used to be even worst than now, scared of every little thing, at least now it's not so bad! However I must admit that I'm still a coward!! Haha!!
Never mind. I'm sure I'll continue to grow. Looking at the pictures and I realised I didn't complain of anything like last time! This is because I learnt that "I wanna stay the way I am, and be who I wanna be!" *Thanks dude!*
A nice quote to share :
If you are ham and cheese, i am the sandwhich, squeeze u in between the mayo and tomatoes, once someone takes a bite into the sandwhich, the teeth sure bite into me first la, but when the mouth close part of the ham cheese sandwhich mayo and tomatoes all inside his mouth, yum yum, so u are not alone inside the mouth, i also inside also!
