I would like to apologise as this post is a month late. However, I would sitll like to thank God for the past half a year anyway.

This first half of the year has been extraordinary. It started with a message of a pastor who has the gift of prophecy. He didn't directly prophesy upon my life, but his message that day spoke to me a great deal. It was the first (and hopefully not the last) time I went to the church he is pastoring. That day, he spoke about how we should seek God. As he spoke, I knew that my theme for this year would be "A Year of Seeking God".

Throughout the next few months, I see myself wanting to seek God more than ever. I hungered and thirst for Him more than ever. If you have been following my blog, in 2012, I did experience a fall in my relationship with Him. Last year, I started picking up again. But this year, there has been a surge. I enjoy it. It's almost as if I am back to where I was with Him in my relationship with Him. Although it's still a along way more, it feels good to be able to communicate as before.

Through seeking God, there have been many things learnt. Through Bible studies, or church or sharing of other people; even camps and seminars that I've been to in the past months have been really helpful in making me think about God more.

It's great to be seeing things from the eyes of God again. I'm glad that I'm strong enough myself to encourage other people again. And I'm happy that I'm willing to give with a cheerful heart, to bless people and see them smile, and be joyful doing it, instead of doing it reluctantly. It's great to be able to trust in Him to provide enough and within His timing. It's also interesting to see how certain things that were unclear last year became clearer this year after it was put into view. There were many "oh!!! so THIS is what THAT was for!!!" moments. I'm still learning to trust Him completely in certain areas, I know He is working with me on that.

There's just too many things to list down here. But, I know that the theme was apt and the second half of the year is gonna be even better. I can't wait for God to show me more as I seek Him even more!
