Now that the red flag for flood in Hatyai is lowered down, I have now peace of mind and enjoy this new year. I love the  clean slate each new year provides. Year 2011 was a great year for us- we have a blissful summer vacation in Philippines (it’s Hyzyd’s first time), my younger sister was granted 100% scholarship from Didyasarin International College here in Hatyai City (she’s taking up AB Business English) , we’re all perfectly healthy and we’ve managed to finish the year without debt! By God’s grace, year 2012 will be even better!

I can stop thanking God for this new year. As always, New year brings hope and a new beginning. I’ll continue to stay away from complaining and arguing. I won’t let other people’s negativity influence me. I work at tuning out pessimism and focusing on doing my best every day. I try to make myself indispensable by working hard, staying positive and contributing to the overall success of the school where I teach.

For year 2012, I will let God and His word guide me through : ‘We…make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps’ (Proverbs 16:9 NLT); ‘Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.’ (Proverbs 16:3 NLT) ‘…with God all things are possible’ (Matthew 19:26 KJV). 

This year’s gonna be AWESOME!!!
