Happy New Year everyone! Well the year started off with a bang, as a group of about 30 of us went to East Perth for our bootleg view of the Gloucester park fireworks show. It didn't fail to disappoint with a 15 minute long display of crazy fireworks. Pictures are below.
But in terms of the rest of the year - I have no idea what to expect - absolutely none. 2007 was similar, but because I was joining a new fellowship group - Regeneration, I guess there was a bit of uncertainty. Now, well, everything seems like it has been locked into position for the coming year. Same job, same fellowship group, same church, same friends, same family. I don't mind this feeling of safety and predictability, but I guess I am just wondering what God has in store for me in the coming year. God is awesome in the way He plans out His will, it's so mysterious and we never know what to expect. But knowing that He loves us and ultimately wants the best for us (to be conformed to Christ's image) is such a great comfort.
The year may be two days old, but I already have some goals (or resolutions) that have been placed in my heart. Some of them are similar to previous years - like to finish reading through the Bible and to read more books. But others have been made after much reflection and God revealing sins in my heart that I want to change. These are a bit personal so I might just keep them to myself!
Although I long to do something BIG for God, I will be more than satisfied if I can achieve at least one of my personal resolutions.
The song Little By Little (which now, thanks to the Hopefuls, has the COOLEST actions - totally went off at oldies on Sunday!) puts it really well...
Little by little in every day
Little by little in every way
Jesus is changing me - He's changing me
Since I made a turnabout face
And I'm walking in His grace
Jesus is changing me!
He's changing me - my blessed Saviour
I'm not the same person that I used to be
Though it's a sloooooooow grooooowing
But there's a knowing
That someday perfect I will be!

At about 6:30am, hunger drove myself and juls to the point where we put our culinary skills to the test and had an early morning rice-frying session... Needless to say, the result was spectacular... well almost...
