1st day of 2011

I received the best compliment of the year (so far) on New Year’s Day.

Mackenzie was sitting across me during breakfast when her face suddenly lit up and she said to me, “Marianne! You distracted me during worship yesterday! (I was back-up singing as Erika lead) You looked SO PRETTY! You were so beautiful!”

Great way to start the New Year :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I felt closer to one of my best friends back home than I ever have since leaving.

Dina sent me an email on New Year’s Eve. This is what she said at the end of it.

“Tomorrow morning, I am going to watch the first sunrise of year 2011. You should watch it, too. Let’s witness the beginning of a new day together although we are quite far apart now! :)”

And that’s exactly what I did :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I read a beautiful passage during my personal time with God, and memorised it. I want it to be a big part of my new year :)

“Teach me Your way, O Lord,
that I may walk in Your truth;
unite my heart to fear Your name.

I give thanks to You, O Lord my God,
with my whole heart,
and I will glorify Your name forever.

For great is Your steadfast love toward me;
You have delivered my soul
from the depths of Sheol.”

Psalm 86:11-13
