The Lord is amazing and kind. He knows our heart's deepest desires yet He doesn't give everything to us until the time is right. He wants us to patiently wait and have faith in His will. I have been pruned, humbled and shaped. Yet today He grants me this, at the very last minute. I'm just overwhelmed with gratitude.
When I thought this would be the first time in my whole career that I won't be getting an award (see blog post here), God gave me such a wonderful surprise. I made it! For the last seven years, He has been so faithful in all his promises. I am such a flawed human being to be worthy of such love.
Let me share to you how this weekend went:

I wouldn't be here if not for the following people:
To my clients who have trusted me from the start and have believed in me since 2007. I wouldn't be here without you. You have all weathered this journey with me in spite of all my ups and downs. I always challenge myself to be better at what I do so that I won't have to look at another industry and leave this job behind. I pray and hope in my heart that our future will be filled with much hope knowing that in one way or another we have prepared for it. Thanks to you all.
To my team, I'd be willing to fight tooth and nail for you. I am here because of our combined efforts. We've been tried and tested over and over again yet here we are: Strong and Ready. We will make our dreams come true. Through God, we'll make the impossible certainly achievable. It's been a hard and tough fight but I know God will bring us to the top.

| My BM Gilbert Chua and partner-in-crime Delwyn Go. Oh my, we're still here. We used to be a Unit, now a Branch. Delwyn and I used to be both agents, now both Managers. It's been years and years with you guys. Cheers to more Annual Awards with you and hopefully the rest of our team! |
 |
| More of us next year!!! |
To my parents who have loved me even with my lapses and shortcomings. To my mom and dad who supported me in all my decisions even if they don't understand the industry I belong to, thank you. To my mother-in-law who was there to lift me up at a time I needed it most, she has loved me like her own for the last 11 years and I constantly thank God for her.
To my whole family who have stuck with me and will stick with me through thick and thin, I will do the same for you.

| The gorgeous man of my life who takes the most beautiful photos! |
To my husband Lloyed who has been by my side through every ordeal, we've been through so much my labs and I will always be thankful that it's you I'm sharing my life with. Honey, you have been one to tell me the truth not to destroy or break me but to shake me up so I may put things in better perspective. You have loved me even in my worst times, you have accepted and understood me even when I didn't even understand myself. This is what true love is, what you have for me. and I will love you every single day of my life.
I am making this blog post because I want this moment to be recorded. This is to help me remember that I should always be faithful to God's will. Our lives are not in our hands but it should be in His. He will guide our sails through calm or rough seas and He will steer us to where He wants us to be. Lord I am no longer afraid of what tomorrow may give me because I have surrendered everything to you. I have fully surrendered.
To God be all the glory and I claim for the best to come in these coming years!
PS. Now that I read over it, it sounds a little bit like an acceptance speech, don't you think? Thank you Lord for this wonderful miracle!
