The Best Birthday Gift From Jean

A blog entry dedicated to me by my beloved sister, Jean.

Titled simply, "To Jie,"

May the good Lord bless you, may the good Lord bless you, may the good Lord bless youuuu, may the good Lord bless you~!(sing to the tune of the happy birthday song)

Jie,blessed 23rd! 23 years ain't a lot of years actually, when you have all eternity waiting for you=)

and this year, I've decided to dedicate one post to you instead of writing a letter. This way, I can type down more and you can have an easier time reading what I have to say;)

haha.

It's been amazing these past few years(cause I can't remember the time I spent as a kid), being able to just spend time together as a family, talking to each other, praying together, even simple things like sitting together on sundays during the second service...though it's quite hard for us to spend more time with one another due to school, work and all, but I'm glad that at night, we're just able to smile and say goodnight to each other, know that we have this family to depend on, to have our big family dinners, play dai ti and mahjong..all the simple things do matter a lot.

and on your special day, I just want to thank God and thank you for all you've done and all you are! haha. thank you for being the fashionista in our family(so I can borrow stuff from you..), thank you for the times when you helped me out with my work, with my dressing-up, for those times when you drove all the way to school and church just to pick me up, those times when you stood up for me, those encouragements you have given me...and more.

You have indeed been the sweetest sister around, and also a most qualified driver in our family!=)

also, even though we are very different from each other, but I'm glad we didn't let our differences hinder us in getting to know each other!


yup, may our Heavenly Father continue to bless this family, and I pray as the year goes by, you'll be drawn closer to Him and that His presence will be manifested in your life. And that you'll experience every blessing in Christ, receive all joy, love, grace, mercy, peace, wisdom and understanding from our great God=) Continue to grow in Christ and seek His will in your life!


haha, that's all.


love you jie,jean.

My eyes just welled up with tears after reading it. It was the sweestest message ever.

I know since my birthday, I've been ''missing" from writing online.

It was one unforgettable week in all emotional aspects.

One blatant thing, I ate alot of good food (I ate enough steak to last me for the next month! =\) last week. Thanks friends for all the dinner treats :)
