1. Just want to thank God for saving me and being the support and pillar when there are things that I am aware that I cannot overcome on my own. Be it persecution or obstacles or things that burdened my heart in 2013. Been an awesome 1 year with God! So excited to see what new things God will do in and through me this year!!
2. Thank God for my family being there for me as well. Know that they played a major role in my upbringing. Also, thank God for opening doors for me to invite and bring my brother and cousins to church activities in 2013. I know that as long as I pray faithfully for them that God will save my family members!!
3. Thank God for the salvation and growth in the Lord, last year, in Angela and Shannen's lives. Praise God for opening Angela's heart to see the wonders He can do in and through her. It's been such a blessing to see her grow deep in the Word of God last year. For Shannen, thank God for how she grew out of her old self to slowly understand what serving God truly means. Seeing her take fresh steps of faith to lead worship has been such a blessed thing! Really thankful for these 2 girls God has placed in my life. Remember how we moved from acquaintances to friends to close friends and to best friends. It's been a long journey with them through ups and downs in our relationship but God has kept this relationship together and now, made it centered around Him!! Going through 2 church internships with them and drawing closer to God, getting to know more about His grace and love and mercy.. It's been an amazing walk with them in Him.
4. BIG THANK GOD for saving Zhi Yong!! It was a test of our faithfulness to continue praying for him when he disappeared from church after joining us for about 2 months or so.. A new believer but a passionate and loving man of God. So excited to see how much more God will prosper him this year!! Press on bro!!
5. Another BIG THANK GOD for Catherine! If not for her heart to reach out to her patients at her workplace, I wonder what I'd be doing now.. Remember how you invited Shannen for Running Man and I tagged along? haha. Amazing how God has used Cat to impact our lives and even give us our nickname in church: ~the 3 little pigs~ Thanks for spending time getting to know us and doing bible study with us last year. Also, thanks for initiating to start bible reading and keeping one another accounted for this year, starting with Galatians today!!
6. Yet another BIG THANK GOD for placing Jeremy, our youth pastor, into my life. For being a man after God's heart and a leader who leads by example, thank God! God used you last year to bond and grow the youth ministry and leaders. He will use you in a whole new way this year to do greater things in this youth ministry. But those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall soar high on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. This year's gonna be a year that the youth grow and soar like eagles as we depend on the wind as the Holy Spirit blows!!
7. Last but not least, thank God for 3:16 Family and Pastor + leaders of the church!! Been so blessed last year getting to know so many new people and also getting to know some others better: Auntie Annie, Dawn, Grace, Ron, Gillian, Jillian, Iris, Samuel, Anders, Raine, Amelia, Lydia, Jerome, Chester, Jeron, Feng Ying, Jester, Chinnarat. Even Joseph, Joash, Amy, Iris, Sue, Cheryl, Calvin, Jia Wen, Zhi Yong, Angela and Shannen. Thank God for all these people God has placed in my life thus far. Many other names I haven't mentioned but truly thank God for..
