December 31, 2014 at 06:24PM And so with this post I humbly conclude 365 days worth of thoughts, reflections and of capturing God's creation. #alexaphotoaday all began with @pandeline's challenge back in Dec 2013. And when I first started out, never did I think I would have had the stamina and commitment to last all 365 days. But 365 days on...I made it!! Thinking back, this project sure has surprised me in many ways and it has made me realised this precious gift that God has blessed me with. It has made me reflect on how else I could use my gifts to spread His love to others around me. I thank everyone who has in their own ways encouraged me on through the year with their affirmations and words of encouragement. I definitely couldn't have done it without you. 2014 sure was a fruitful and exciting year for me. I now wonder what 2015 has in store and I am sure it can only get better. :))

December 31, 2014 at 06:05PM Day 365 | year end "In the beginning was the Word: and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things came to be, not one thing had its being but through him. All that came to be had life in him and that life was the light of men, a light that shines in the dark, a light that darkness could not overpower." - John 1:1-5 #alexaphotoaday #december #christmas #themeofthemonth #lastgram2014

Bear with one another; forgive each other as soon as a quarrel begins. The Lord has forgiven you; now you must do the same. Over all these clothes, to keep them together and complete them, put on love. And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this that you were called together as parts of one body." - Colossians 3:12-15 #alexaphotoaday #december #christmas #themeofthemonth #throwback
