It has been some time since my last post…2mths actually…and i think now is a good time and opportunity to kick off the year with my new post 🙂

I did not have the opportunity to go to a watchnight/thanksgiving service so i’ll do it here…hahaha…

Praise and Thanksgiving

1) God has been gracious and merciful to me during the first semester here in BJU, in terms of studies, friends, experience.

2) Although I had to spend Christmas and New Year here, God has provided a friend to keep me company. 😀 For Christmas, where most families go home and celebrate instead of going out shopping, we had the opportunity to enjoy a sumptuous Christmas lunch at a friend’s house. For New Year, I get to countdown in the serenity of the house we’re staying at. Different experience.

3) I thank God for food, shelter (graciously offered by Ptr Phoa and Mrs Guthrie, who we are dogsitting for), work in school and a very good Thai chef to provide our daily meals…hahaha…

and this is the dog that we’re taking care of…Caspian…a beautiful golden retriever…

4) Thank God especially for this warm winter. I would never have survived the cold of a normal winter. It should be getting slightly colder the coming week but…I am still thankful for the extra warmth 😀 😀 😀 😀

5) I am thankful for the care and concern of my family 🙂 I’m 25 alrdy…but I’m still treated like a kid…hahaha…just kidding…I’m just thankful for them.

6) I know a lot of people has been praying for me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you all for being faithful in such a small matter. Let me know if I can pray for you too. 🙂

Prayer Requests

1) To have a faithful walk with God everyday

2) To prepare and make myself available for service

3) To deal honestly and truthfully with friends, edifying each other

I am encouraged that God has used this blog to encourage others and hopefully it testifies His faithfulness, mercy and grace in my life 😉

” When I consider the work of Thy hands, The sun, moon and stars above,

What is a man that Thou thinkest of him, who is so unworthy of Your Love.

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Thy name,

Mountains, valleys, all creation tells Thy name,

Heavens declare it, all Thy wondrous work proclaim,

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Thy name…”

How Majestic is Thy Name (Ron Hamilton version)

-> I think you can find it in The Wilds hymnbook…lyrics are from Psalm 8 😉

1 Thess 5:16-18

“Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward”
