New Year’s Resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or a habit , often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. (Wikipedia). Since I got a lot of benefit from my 2006′s resolutions, I want to try to make a short list of my 2007′s resolutions:

1. Getting closer with JC; less of me, more of Him
2. Focus on my career in Life Sciences, more to research and networking – going int’l
3. Getting my preparation for Master education
4. Be more confident and flexible

What are your plans for 2007?
Basically focus to my ministry and internships! :) –> see my Resolutions for 2007

2006 was basically when all of my resolutions were fulfilled:
1. I want to improve my characters in organizations and research projects and apparently my project mentor agrees that I am better and just need to get involved in different level and size of projects :)
2. Networking, I have more contacts and networking in sciences world, with helps of special friends of course
3. Study hard and reach my academic goals, I did quite well this year. I also got my internships earlier and recommendations from my professors and campus!
4. Less of me and more of JC, I got more involved in ministries than before. From leading discussion until coordinating sharing meeting in Arnhem-Nijmegen and also online fellowship every Sunday night. I will keep this point as my resolutions

I could only thank Him for all of His blessing in my life. How He has helped me getting through all the obstacles and challanges in 2006. 2006 was also the year when my faith got questioned by science communities.
