The First Sunrise of 2016

Yangyang, Gangwon-do, South Korea —

Every sunrise is a miracle. I was glad that God woke me up that morning and felt so blessed to see the first sunrise of the year. Somehow, it reminded me that He doesn’t look at my past anymore and continues to unfold His great plan for me. A new year means new opportunities, new challenges and new life lessons. In addition, a new year gives me another chance to strive to be a better person than I was the previous years.

Note to self:

We grow up with such an idealistic view on how our life should be; love, friendships, a career or even the place we will live ~ only to age and realise none of it is what you expected & reality is a little disheartening, when you’ve reached that realisation; you have learnt the gift of all, any new beginning can start now and if you want anything bad enough you’ll find the courage to pursue it with all you have. The past doesn’t have to be the future, stop making it so.

—Nikki Rowe

I don’t know what God has in store for me this new year, but I will listen more to His Word. So, I may carry out my purpose for His glory. A blessed 2016 to all.
