2012 was a good year. I gave birth to my baby girl Meimei in July, got along well with my in-laws while they were here at our house, we bought a house in December, enjoyed church life, and worked hard for the job. I read 10 plus books in 2012 and improved my English a lot, which greatly boosted my confidence.
Looking forward to year 2013, I would like to list out our some new year routines (not big ones, but hard to keep.)
Church life:-
- Go to Saturday Bible study group — every Saturday unless there is absolute reason of not going.
- Go to Church Sunday morning — every Sunday unless there is absolute reason of not going.
- Serve at Friday night student Bible study group.
- Bible reading with partner sister Su every Wednesday night.
