A few months ago, someone told me that there is going to be a series of challenges ahead of me this year. Frankly speaking, at that time, I didn’t really think of it much at all. Yet now, reading my previous blogs, I am quite amuse at what had happen, is going through and what is to come.
Challenges, a set of tests on one's abilities or resources in a demanding but stimulating undertaking; a call to engage in a contest, fight, or competition.

"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." ~ KJV (Philippians 4:11)
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." ~ KJV (Roman 8:28)I didn’t know what it mean at that time. I guess… Now I know…
