Thanks for 2006, looking forward to 2007

Just came back from CG an hour ago. The theme for tonight was for us to remember 10 things (at least!) to thank God for 2006 and things to pray for in 2007. Initially I thought it would be difficult to remember 10 things, turned out 10's not enough. Anyway here's the ten...
  1. For Xueyan to come over to London for us to enjoy life together as a couple in a foreign environment;
  2. For Xueyan to amazingly find a job on her last day in London (back in Jan-06) before she returned to Singapore for CNY;
  3. Finding and settling into Emmanuel Evangelical Church and the Canary Wharf Young Adults care group;
  4. Good health and peace in my family back in Singapore (so glad to be back in Singapore come Feb for CNY!);
  5. For my current job rotation (though I have been complaining at times being scolded by the traders);
  6. Journey mercy on all our Europe travels;
  7. My knee which survived the skiing in Zermatt, Switzerland;
  8. For Kia Ngee who so faithfully blessed us by fetching us to church every Sunday;
  9. Assimilation into London, getting used to the food/weather/culture (and enjoying dim sum every other weekend);
  10. For every new day God has given to us to live and witness His Glory in action!

Prayer items for the new year

  1. Personal - being able to spend more time reading His Word, reading more literature and brushing up on my guitar skills;
  2. Cell - more active in worship and (prayerfully) leading more worship and bible study sessions;
  3. Church - currently not in any ministry but hopes to get more involved in church activities and to attend more Christian Education sessions such as Spiritual Parenting

AND on a personal basis...

Good bonuses for 2006 (to be declared end Feb-07) and an exciting third and final rotation (I am praying for Strategic Planning!)...

Exciting days ahead!
