Chinese New Year Blessings

_
It's been a good stay in the USA so far. God's been taking good care of me. Indeed His faithfulness amazes me all the time.

It's been hectic over here. To get the business forecast meetings on track, the whole team here has been working almost non-stop, even over this Chinese New Year weekend (I am writing this on a Sat in the office, while taking a short break).

It's been stressful, for sure, with multiple presentations on different days to different VPs on the business forecasts etc etc. But, as I make it a point to start each day spending some time with the Lord and reading His Word, the peace that follows me throughout the rest of the day has been priceless. Indeed, with his help, things actually went smoothly: Things I thought I could not do in time got completed with some time to spare; and my presentation on Friday (SGP time) went well. It was such a relief! All thanks be to God!

Not only that, God blessed me in the midst of all these with an early Hong Bao :-)

My US boss gave me an excellent performance review earlier this week and with that, came a salary increment that exceeded my own expectations! God is good, isn't He?

But while I am here alone on Chinese New Year in a foreign land, the greatest comfort comes from knowing that my family and loved ones are well...under the faithful eyes of God. Many thanks to all who have been praying with me. Blessed New Year to all!

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord,
"He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

Psalm 91:1-2
