My first post.

What is this?

This is a personal blog where each day I can write down at least one or more things to give God thanks for. The idea came about when I was walking on the bridge connecting the Habourfront bus terminal to Habourfront building yesterday evening around 7pm. Just two nights ago, I struggled through a long and lonely night, fighting and sorting desperately through my tangled emotions, desires, logic. As one who is generally positive and joyful (if I may dare say), that night I had hit a new low. I was crying, I was confused, I was anxious, I was scared. I even found it impossible to pray. Plain torment. But because of what has happened, I realised yet again, that above all things, I need God first. 

He is the giver of life, hope, love, and all things which are good.

Hence, this blog has been created. K came up with the address name.

A way to pen down my thanksgiving. 

An outlet to reflect upon the blessings I have seen, heard or received. 

A reminder of the good and hope that exists.

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.  -Psalms 62:1


I thank God because...
He has drawn me to Him in the first place. I would not have come to know him or love him if he had not come to me first. And because of Jesus, He has made it possible for me to once again reconcile with Him because Jesus paid the death penalty (my dealth penalty) for my sinful nature and deeds. Because God is so good, so merciful, so gracious. Because God is all knowing, in control, has a plan.
