How's your January???

I'm very glad that me, nic, pril, and dennyz shared our new year's resolutions on google drive. Hahaha. I'm not promoting google, I'm a yahoo! person. Hehehe. The point is... the resolutions are stuck in my head every day. I was kinda sad that it feels harder to do them once you resolve to do them!! Nevertheless, Krizia said, every day, every moment, is a new opportunity to get up and restart again. When I feel down, I also remember that Paul said that his friend from Opus Dei said that sometimes these problems are old problems that you didn't realize before. They are actually small things, but only now you realize that they are problems, that's why you feel troubled. While actually you just need to repair them and move on :)

The highlight of this January is....
well, to be honest, quite depressing. Hahaha. Nevermind, the cheerful Ferninda is back. Time to start again, okay? ^^

I found one thing that may help me to wake up on time next time: "strong love". Father Mario said that strong love makes you diligent, makes you haste and do not want to be late! Perhaps it'll help me to attend Mass on time (well, in fact, this thought did help me on Friday!!). What happened on Friday was I woke up superlate (6.25am!! and Mass starts at 7am). Remembering Father's words, I tried to rush, I ran to catch the train which will reach in 2 minutes, I ran down to catch 198 that I saw from far, and ran again to the Church. Hahaha. Thank God!! I was still late, but not too late.

My aim this month is at least to arrive on time, because apparently arriving 5 minutes earlier is still soooooooooooooooooooo tough. >.<

Another highlight is..
the importance of cheerfulness. Not only when things are okay, but also when things are going wrong. A cheerfulness that is based on divine filiation, a thought of "I am a daughter of God."

Thank you Lord for letting me fall quite hard last month. You made me learn some more :D and one more thing, I think God has shown me something really really special. So funny, it started in an evening Mass on Thursday then happened in the bus after Mass on my way for Benediction alone. Thank you Jesus for letting me see it and please hold me through the next baby steps
