I am thankful for God's faithfulness, and this verse has been a great source of assurance. Throughout, the Lord has always reminded me of His guiding hand and His constant advice: "One Step at a Time." This new year, as I enter a new season and the family of Paya Lebar Methodist Church, I rest with the same conviction that God will do the same and continue to lead and guide.

Also, this new year, I look forward to serving and contributing to the leadership team, sharing the vision of Paya Lebar Methodist Church and working out my call in God’s sovereign plan.

On a more personal note, my family decided to do something different as we started the year. We decided to have our first family New Year resolution together to honor God. We pray that we can do that by honoring each other in the family. (adapted from Mark 12:30). 

Here it goes: We will love the Lord our God with all our hearts (by doing family devotions together) and with all our soul (by being kind and encouraging in our words) and with all our minds and with all our strength (by helping each other to keep a healthy lifestyle, example: exercise).

Please pray alongside us. May we all be a family blessed to bless others.
