Resolutions for Year 2009

A bit too greedy, the widget box won't take all I want to write, so I guess this is the next best alternative to voice out my resolutions.

Resolution #1:
Evangelize and bring more lost souls/sheep to church, especially parents of my children's friends whom I'll get to meet daily on weekdays.
To date:
~1 Catholic brought to church, awaiting to start bible study with Golden girls. Been attending Sunday services regularly and enjoys fellowship with the Golden girls.
~1 highly arrogant lost sheep brought to church and handed over to Phua Hee as he is a single. Problem off my hand. Hee hee hee...!!!
~1 lost sheep who stopped attending church 4 years ago will be coming to church 1st Sunday of 2009 with 13yo daughter. Please pray for them.

Resolution #2:
To be a good discipler.
Struggling to keep in touch with my disciple Natalie Chan. While I understand how she is currently feeling as I went through a similar self-denial state for 1.5 years, I want to help her get out of it faster, yet I don't know how to do it when she intentionally avoids our attempts to contact her. The only way I can find out about her wellbeing is through her husband and daughter. Please pray for me.

Resolution #3:
To discover my spiritual gifts and put them into practice.
So far I have come to discover that my bilingualism, ability to teach and even my Bipolar Disorder are gifts from God. I use my bilingualism to reach out to Mandarin speaking sisters and help them integrate into the fellowship, use my ability to teach and dedicate Friday afternoons to teach kingdom kids who are academicaly weak but can't afford help financially, and my understanding of my illness to form a support group for sisters in church who suffer from similar psychiatric problem. Pray for me that I can put my gifts into good use.

Resolution 4:
Register my tuition as a sole-proprietorship business.
After much thoughts and discussion with Adrian, Soon Eng and my father-in-law, I have finally decided to register my tuition as a sole proprietorship. In other words, come Jan 2009 I will be running my own business from home! With receipts issued out under the business name and having a business registration number, it would be much more professional and would be a form of free advertisement in itself among parents who know my current students' parents. Pray for me that this will be a succes.

Thanks sisters!
