| | Happy New Year everyone!
It's so warm and fuzzy to see everyone typing up there "2006 reviews" and "2007 resolutions". I feel that it's the time of the year where no matter how lazy we are, we will use our brain for the last time in the old year, and the first time in the new year, to ponder upon what's going on in our lives.. and not just striving forward non-stop aimlessly.
Okay... so I'm gonna do that too here:
******2006******
1) Being challenged by God with the issue of joy. Through this struggle, I have seen God strengthening my faith and reminding me that He is the ONLY source of joy, and He puts that in my heart, not in people, things, or circumstances. Though going through the ups and downs was really painful, I do find myself being closer to God now. At this point, I feel that the transparent block (this is the analogy I always use for this issue) being God and me is finally moving away little by litte. There is hope.
2) Revolve - co-leading our church's dance team with Gabby and Judith has been so much fun, love, tears, sweat, blessings, etc... I feel that Revolve being tenderly nurtured by the Spirit, and is now beautifully blooming despite the attacks from the devil. Biggest highlight will be the miracle that happened during the Live Album Recording in May, where God saved us from being electrocuted when we were dancing in the "rain & waterfall" (water curtain got triggered off on stage) onstage.
3) Missions trip to Beijing and Inner Mongolia - God loves China. Being able to interact with the orphans, middle school students, and college students there, remind me how blessed I have always been. The plane ride from Beijing back to HK, where we met and prayed for/with the group of HK students who were just traumatized by a traffic accident was a faith booster. We are missionaries wherever we are, not just during missions trip.
4) New York City - so yea, I'm here now... semi-permanently I guess. But I just wanna say... Wow!!! God, you really made it happen!!!!
5) Relationships - so.. the moving to NYC did cause some complications with my relationship with my family and Mike.... Parents-wise, we got into more fights (oops!) but at the end of the day, we got to understand each other more, and I also see forgiveness (both sides) coming along with the understanding.... Sibling-wise, this year is definitely the year I've had the most real conversations with my older brother... he's an awesome smart bro. I love him and I know he loves me too. I'm really touched by how much he's done to help me get settled down here in NYC.... Grandma-wise, it's really sad to leave her in HK... please pray for her joy, health, and abiding in Christ, and for my self-discipline and calling her and praying for her... Mike-wise... we experienced some really really bad times in 2006... but God is good. He teaches me the big lesson of relying on Him more than anyone else, and He's the only Rock that we could build our relationship upon.
6) Work - transferred from HK to NYC. Thank God for all the coworkers I have met in HK, the personal relationships He's allowed me to build there, and mostly for the two sisters in Christ I've know through work, Cheris and Bertha. Encouraged. Have also met a super nice boss here in NYC. Work hours have changed from 8:30-??? to 6:30-6:30, which is not bad. Met Hope in the NY office. She is an answer to my prayer: a female Christian co-worker.
******2007******
1) Joy
2) Guitar
3) Dance for God
4) Call home at least 3 times a week (trying to do it everyday!)
5) ?? always leaving a buffer for God's sudden "firedrills"
Thank you for reading to this point and for caring about what's been going on in my life.
Have a blessed 2007!
