As 2008 draws to a close, and I look back at the year, I must confess that I have no idea what exactly happened! Everything is blurry and sadly so. It made me realise that I should keep a proper journal of the ups and downs of our lives as a record of God's faithfulness and mercy.

Instead, I have allowed life's busy-ness to overtake me and my tiredness to overwhelm me. This is not good  I started a private blog early this year but have not been faithfully updating it at all.

So I resolve to do this come 2009. I haven't quite decided what form it should take - blog (private/public) or the old fashioned way of writing it all down with a pen and book?

But I encourage you to do the same - keep a log of what is happening and affecting you. Remember the Memorial Stones Joshua had the people of Israel build after they crossed the River Jordan in Joshua 4? We need to remember that God has done in our lives. We are a forgetful people and we each need our memorial stones to help us remember and recount God's goodness in our lives and His mercies upon us.

And it is good to recount them to our children too. We can leave behind a godly legacy (at least try! ) for our children and their children.

So in the busy-ness of this season, do not forget the Lord God who brought us out of our individual Egypt and into His Promised Land.

And dear Readers, thank you for reading and commenting the past year. Hopefully, you'll return come 2009  Oh! And I may just switch to another blog host. I am not really pleased with the templates I have to work with here. I'll keep you posted when I finally decide what to do!

I am still overwhelmed. *sigh*. And I've been battling this headache since Christmas Eve - the feeling is like having been hit at the back of my head. So have been soooooo tired. I was really so sleepy and have no idea how the baby fell off the bed this morning! urgh. Now ... I did tell dh to get that bedrail long ago, but he refused to saying we won't really need it.

So miserable hor? I am a wimp when it comes to pain of any kind, esp headaches! I just pop 2 panadol and pray it works QUICK!

Bbs falling off the bed? All of ours have! Yes all 6 :( Dh says it's a rite of passage in the Lim house. Haha!

I'm finding that time passes faster with each passing year. Maybe it's 'cos I'm getting busier? Maybe life has become more routine? So, yes. I've felt that this year was a blur too. I don't even know what has been happening all year and now it's already year-end!!! Lynnette

The only time I feel time is moving very slowly is when I am pregnant in the 3rd trimester and esp during the 36th - 40th week! of course it doesn't help that I tend to go over my EDD. So wa! then time really c-r-a-w-l-s! Haha!

God-willing, 10 more weeks to go!!!

At least time is more forgiving when the kids are in primary school. Can have some me-time. Now no time at all.
