Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2014

Merry Christmas To You All
I grew up in multi-cultural and multi-language background. It amazes me when I found out how many languages spoken in this world! Over 6,000 languages! Can you imagine that?
If you go to Google to find how these people say “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” in any langagues, you will see people say it in so many different ways!
In thise special season, I hope your Christmas will be filled with joy, love, peace and hope from God and may His favor and goodness be yours in this coming New Year!
This is how I say it in languages that I can understand (from the most I can speak & understand to the least):
Slamat Natal deng Taong Baru (Manadonese)
Selamat Hari Natal dan Tahun Baru (Indonesian)
Selamet Hari Natal ame Tahun Baru ye (Betawi)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (English)
Merry Christmas lan Sugeng Warsa Enggal (Javanese)
圣诞快乐，新年快乐
Shèngdàn kuàilè, Xīnniàn kuàilè (Mandarin)
Feliz Navidad y Feliz Año Nuevo (Spanish)
Am I Failed As A Blogger?
I started to blog for 30 Days of Thankfulness…. but didn’t finish it.
Am I failed as a blogger?
I started to schedule to write a blog post once a week…. but I did and then forgot.
Am I failed as a blogger?
I am sitting here today… thinking…
should I continue write a blog?
should I called myself a blogger?
or should I stop writing because I do not write consistently?
I need support.
I need encouragement.
I need motivation.
I need a purpose why I write.
I need a plan!
I am thankful when I went to Declare Conference in October 2013 and met a lot of my friends I met online through blogging, Twitter and Facebook. I made new friends too. At that conference I heard so many advises from the experts. I am humbling myself under God’s feet, waiting and listening to what He has to tell me and has for me to do. I am waiting.
Here I am rethinking my purpose and pray.
I am going to take a break for these couple of weeks at to end this year and will start fresh in 2014. Hopefully you all will be praying for me too!

Gratefulness Day 16 and 17
Playing cathing up… Day 16: An Observation. She was learning how to eat banana with a spoon when she was 13 months old. It was a good progress 🙂
=============================================================
Day 17: A Difficulty — It’s been always a difficulty to convince this girl to trim her hair. But thankful I could trimmed a little in the Summer otherwise it would be crazy long & tangled.
