Bridge Over Troubled Water

When youre weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Im on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When youre down and out,
When youre on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
Im sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

ranting

it is at times like this that i feel very lonely and all by myself...
it's not that i don't know i have many friends that i can talk to or call whenever i want to,
however it is never the same as having someone here, near me that i can turn to for a hug or someone who could just listen to me rant...
i know God is here, i know He is always by my side and He hears it when I am going through these times... i wish He was physically here so that I can get a big hug...
i just listed out the things i have to do just for this month of January... i am not prepared to suddenly pick up so many responsibilities. there are so many expectations, and suddenly i am thrown a big pile of things as well... it is so overwhelming...
but i think it hurts most that i have no one here that i feel i can entirely turn to right now... :'(

p.s. my goal is to finish my assignment by 5pm, jan 10th.

Welcoming 2009

the new year has come...

i don't really feel much about the whole new year resolution thing and all... it feels just like another day.. of course i am thinking, woah... time really flew by cause one whole year is gone...

i am however extremely thankful for the protection that God has provided and given me... He has been by my side through my ups and downs, the hardships that I had to go through, the transition to a new place and adjusting to teaching and doing Masters and all...

thank God for all the friendships that I have built over the new semester here in Albuquerque, and also for the wonderful friendships that I have had whether back in MN or anywhere in US, and even all the way around the world, in Malaysia and NZ... :)

have also been thinking about what am i gonna do after my Masters and the bond for 2 years... im not sure yet.. it is really quite far ahead... ive got a year and a half for masters and the bond for 2 more years... i will technically be 27 by then... will i end up staying here or going back it really depends on where the Lord leads me... ive thought about it, i have no preference as to where i want to be... i guess... i would rather leave it to God...

talked to a good friend about relationships and marriage... another thing to leave within God's hands... it's interesting to see how so many friends whether older or younger are getting married or are already married for that matter... wow... time really does fly...

well, Blessed New Year anyways, welcome year 2009!

Thank You Lord Jesus, for all the blessings You have given to me whether big or small... for You are faithful! :)
