Dear friends, warmest greetings in the best time of the year, Christmas time!! Elaine and I are involved in a personal project that seems to be taking more of our time than expected for the past 2 years, hence the low frequency of our postings. Hopefully, it will be over soon.

We have been monitoring Lizzie's O2 level and I am glad to say that her O2 has been hovering around 80 to 85%, which is far better than a year ago at 70 to 75%. We thank God for His grace over this girl, who is full of energy, cheer and spirit.Lizzie acting cute.
As we approach the 2nd Christmas with Lizzie, we want to thank one and all for keeping Lizzie in prayers. We treasure every moment with her, realising how precious and fragile life can be, especially without God's grace. Each day that Lizzie lives to play, grow and even be naughty is a day of grace from God. Indeed, His grace is sufficient for us.

We may complain about how naughty Lizzie is or why she is still not speaking at 27 months, but we are secretly thankful that God has blessed this child with many things, including her cheerfulness and her relative health (compared to a year ago). What God has shown us in the past 3 years has given us hope that there is more grace for Lizzie, that the major open-heart surgery may even be unnecessary, if only God is willing. As her parents, we can only pray and hope, but as God's children, we dare to claim it for our child.

Teen outreach - my calling?
As we look forward to many years ahead with Lizzie, we greatly treasure your precious prayers for her well-being and her future. As her parents, we are praying that all these efforts will not be in vain, not for the sake of having another life on earth. We are constantly praying that she will grow up to be a purposeful servant for God, and her life to be a testimony to show how personal and how intimate our God is.
This Christmas will be more fun as Lizzie can now comprehend occasions, enjoy company and especially, toys! We are trying to fight off overzealous grandparents and even aunties buying the entire toy shop for Lizzie. So much for a zen-style house! We are also putting up the Christmas tree as soon as we are settled in so that she can enjoy it. To everyone reading this, may God's love be your Christmas cheer and His peace be your sparkle at all times.
Blessed Christmas and God bless.
