Feliz Navidad

I know it's a little past Christmas to wish everybody a very blessed Christmas but Christmas is always in my heart because Christ lives in me.

Let's say Christmas this year didn't go that well for me. Wasn't really feeling myself during Christmas week. My emotions was like a out of control roller coaster which most of the time just goes down and down and down but nonetheless I'm thankful for all that's happened because at the end of the storm there will always be a rainbow. And the rainbow reminds me that God's promises are true and that He is always faithful.

Since my uni's finals was a week before Christmas, I didn't have time to do my Christmas shopping so this year, I decided to bake cookies to bless some people who had been a blessing in my life. So I spent the afternoon of my Christmas Eve baking 3 trays of these babies. Haven't been baking cookies for some time now. Glad that they turned out fine. 

I'm sure many of you had a very blessed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with family and friends and I'm happy for you though Christmas wasn't as Christmassy for me this year. Lots of tears shed and lots of space to be filled in my heart. Okay! Enough out with the sad thoughts, in with the happy thoughts.

As usual spent my Christmas morning in church. This year's Christmas Musical was entitled Legacy of Love. The children sounded incredible and I'm sure many were blessed. Just to give you a little background of the musical, it's about living a legacy of love. I'm sure you're not blind to see that this world is so lacked of love. We see things like corruption, murder, hurt and pain in this world. We live in such a godless world where people are so focussed on wealth and success and have forgotten about love. Living a legacy of love doesn't require us to do big things like giving away all your money to help the poor or becoming a monk or something. Living a legacy of love simply means loving people around us. Even a simple act of kindness like thanking the cleaner in your school or helping an old lady cross the road is enough to leave a legacy of love in their lives. Small things can lead to something great. It doesn't matter if we don't see the person that we helped again but you have left an impact in his/her life. You have left a legacy of love because you live a legacy of love.

I have made a commitment on Christmas morning that I will dedicate my life to live out a legacy of love. Most of you may know that I want to pursue a degree in education but only a few of you know the reason. I've got a calling from God to go into the education line since I was 15 or 16 but I had denied this calling till I was 17. Throughout the period of running away from this calling like how Jonah ran away when God called him to go to Nineveh, God was merciful and again and again He showed me and prepared me for this calling. He gave me a heart of people, a heart to reach out to children. He gave me eyes to see how terrible the education system is. Moreover, He put people in my life to emphasize the calling and encourage me to pursue this calling. Even till now, God has been constantly reaffirming me and providing a way to fulfill this calling. Right now, my motivation of entering the education line is because of Christ. I want to live a life not to pursue wealth but live a life that has meaning, to invest my live in the lives of others, to leave a legacy of love in the life of the next generation. It's time to give back what I have been blessed with.
