I truly thank God for year 2012 for His work in my life. I
felt so blessed to be placed in Penang an island where I get to spend more time with God in praying, reading His
words and to serve Him in various area.
In summary, what 2012 represents for me is Pray.Faith.Obey
PRAY
It is great to spend time having conversation with God in
pray. I have committed for the NECF 40days prayer and fast this year. It was
not easy at first but as I make it a commitment to pray (according to the
guide) it was such a great experience journeying with God and I believe it will
be even greater when I witness Him answering all the prayers in future.
FAITH
2012 was also a year where my faith in God is build, the
faith even in the simplest things in my life. One of the incidents was during
the Staff Annual Dinner for “lucky draw” that comes with great prizes, being
the committee there were time where I felt tempted to ensure I receive a better
gift and of course some are tempting me to do so. But I believe that He will
give me thing that I need and not I want. And it was until the very end that He
taught me to put my trust in Him, as the last name in the draw box was
my name and the gift on the list was exactly the item that I need.
OBEY
When we asked God to teach us how to love, to have chance to
serve and patient, we will need to be ready to go through whatever event that
will take place (rooted in Him of course). He taught me to love especially to
people I less imagine I can get along, he taught me patient by being in a
situations where I need to draw strength from Him and opportunity to serve Him
and His people are plenty. One of the
best ministries was to the Mini Kem in Lalok. The journey was an unexpected
one, suffering from the mosquitos’ bites and being under the hot sun was
nothing compared to the JOY of seeing children and people from everywhere came
together to worship Him, the beauty of His creation and His amazing work in the
deepest part of our nation.
I have told my friends (of different believe) that I would
go again despite all the obstacles that I will face.
I believe that greater things is awaiting for me in year
3013 as I journey with Him together and I hope it will be the same as you.
