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!
