Hello 2006!

Phew… Time flies and a new year is here again. I am not a person who likes to make new year resolutions. I believe that we have to consistently improve ourselves in every area. But it’s a good excuse for us to take the new year to say, "Ok…Starting from Jan 1^st I will bla bla bla and clean dishes, be a good girl, etc. So I’ve taken this excuse and told myself I will wipe away the last few months of busyness in my head and start a new year. Really hoping that God can renew my faith, strength and my spiritual life. Have been struggling lately with my spiritual life. I think because I was too busy with work and ministry and God doesn’t get so much attention from me. Not that He is angry but I feel really bad about this. Come to a point, I just can’t understand why God still blesses me so much. I have been so ungrateful. How could I?

Anyway, I’ve shared my testimony with the cell and prayer group about year 2005:

This year has is my 1^st year of marriage. I really thank God for this marriage and I would say this is the best year of my life. And I am serious. I have so much fun and laughter sharing every single day of my life with Paul. I pray that every year I will say, “It’s the Best Year of My Life”. The toughest thing that we went through as a couple was our finances. I won’t say we don’t have enough but I also won’t say we have plenty. As for me, I am just a part-timer so basically Paul is supporting the whole family. It was tough for both of us. But really thank God that He has seen us through. He has taught us that no matter how much we have, we will never be satisfied. So we learnt to accept the fact that there’s never a time that we will say we have enough. We brought down our expectations and God is really great. In year 2005, He has blessed us so much in our finances – free trips, free camera, love offerings etc. Of course besides material wise, He gave us good health, protection and bonding among my family members. Nothing can satisfy us except God.
