Crossing over to 2008

There is no Watchnight Service in the church that we are attending. Nevertheless, it is a time for us to reflect upon the happenings in 2007. The main event this year, of course, is our coming over to the US. And we are very thankful for how God has led us in this journey. In fact, the first step for us started 3 years ago as we prayed about and reflected upon where God's calling us. Over those 3 years, we experienced a lot in our thoughts and plans... but at each step, we could see how He opened and shut the doors. Indeed, He is our faithful shepherd who always leads and journeys with us. By His grace, we received the strength and wisdom to overcome the few difficult "spots" leading up to our move. By His same grace, we enjoyed many wonderful blessings.

Not only had our Lord been gracious and faithful to us, so too has He been in the lives of our loved ones - our families, our friends, and our church. May He continue to be very close to all of us in 2008, which has just arrived for us.
