Year 2008: Indeed a year of giants for me. A year full of trials and tribulation.
My life was and is like a boat, sailing out in the big vast ocean... facing many trials, the sea, the wind, the weather before I could reach my destination.
Often, the journey to the destination is not that smooth, when heavy rains and hurricane hit the sea, the boat goes rocking following the wind and waves slowing the whole journey.
During bad weather, the sea turned into an ugly scary dark looking monster, looking as if it want to swallow me into the deep sea.
When the waves were so strong and huge, nearly throwing me off the boat... until I feel so tired to hold on...
Then, there are some beautiful spot in the middle of the sea, where I stop to watch the beautiful creation of God, admiring His work, and therefore, slowing the whole journey once again.

So many things happened....
So much tears....
So much heart pain.....
So much bitterness.....
So much failure.....
So much disappointment....
Left me feeling alone & tired....
Left me feeling discourage and condemn....
At certain times, I felt as if I am sailing without a direction, lost in the ocean...
Well, of course there are times when the sea is calm and the sun is shinning....
There are times of laughter....
There are still some times of joy and achievement as well....
A time of love.....
A time of blessing....
I learned & still learning.... I've grown and still growing....
What I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand
But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Girl you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"
But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Thats my source of strength when I feel defeated, cause I know He is my victory...
When I feel no one understands me, He send people to me .....
When I felt hopeless, He gave me hope....
