A Short Retrospective on 2007

I thought I ought to get in at least a fourth post before the new year. If you rely on reading my blog to know what's going on in my life, you're way behind, and that's my fault. Apologies. Maybe to blog more often needs to be a resolution of mine for 2008? To catch you up, the last few months have included lots of learning and fun times from work, Soquel campmeeting, AFCOE, GYC, and holidays. I'm looking forward to another year of Bible work for the same church.

2007 has been a very different year. Good different. I have learned so much about God, about people, about life, about myself. I'll have to blog about the specific experiences and lessons...sometime. Right now they're jotted down in my personal journal, far from being ready for the public eye.

Although I'm very thankful for what God has done in my life this past year, I also welcome a fresh beginning. I have a hunch that there's much more in store for this year.

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9

Happy New Year!

I completely understand about finding time to blog! 2007 has been so difficult that by the time I'm ready to type, inspiration tends to leave. Good to hear from you again and I'm excited to hear about all of your learning :) Happy new year to you too!!! :) :)

Wow, that was quick work there! Thanks for your company and your prayers. They're both much appreciated!

I'm curious to know the meaning behind your cryptic Xanga name. :)

Hey Aiko! Thanks for your comment! You're absolute right, Pastor Don Mackintosh is HILARIOUS and talented! He also gives great sobering messages... i don't think I've ever cried so much in a week! So, were you trained at AFCOE? I'm here because I believe God sent me here to pray for my classmates, church mates, and study:) Hope you'll post some of the blessings God has prepared you for! Happy Sabbath:)

Hello Aiko,
You made your site so simple yet elegant but I see that you don’t write here much anymore!
I want to help people to really get to know Jehovah God, especially in these troubled times. I have an important message for everyone from the Bible: “I will send them great trouble—all the things they feared. For when I called, they did not answer. When I spoke, they did not listen. They deliberately sinned before my very eyes and chose to do what they know I despise.” (Isaiah 66:4) (New Living Translation)
