2014 - ANOTHER GREAT YEAR

Well, goodbye 2013 and welcome 2014! Another year another step in the journey of life! 2013 seems to be rolling pass so fast – in a blink of an eye – and we are on the eve of a new year. It has been six months long journey for my dear wife who had to endure chemotherapy. It hasn’t always been easy for her, suffering the pain of the needles, the discomfort, and the boring hours of treatment. Many times I wish I’d know how much it takes to endure it but I was not in the position to know. I can only watched from the sideline how she goes through with it. I must say that she really take it in stride.

Praise God that the tumour in her lungs had shrunk and I find her able to breathe more easily. She’s able to hold a conversation without the interruptions of irritation of the lungs followed by coughing. 2013 proved to be a trying year for us but also a wonderful year. Judson had graduated, called to the bar and now working. Joyce has come along well in her studies, her relationship, and her involvement in the work of the Lord. Jesher has finished his STPM and looking forward to Internship with the church and to Uni after that.

We have our ups and downs but 2013 is a good year – a good year to praise God, a good year to thank a lot of friends, a good year to thank God for His great provision, love and grace. 2014 will be better. The work of God will intensify. The ministry opportunities will increase. The challenges in life will undoubtedly get tougher BUT God is good and I will braced myself for yet another year of great adventure of faith in Christ.

There is no need for New Year resolution. There is only the continuing walk of a long obedience in the same direction – keeping my side of the bargain, that is, to be faithful in service, to be gracious and compassionate in attitude, and to be simple and humble in conduct and in conversation!

Looking forward to another good year – another great year!
