Last weekend, when I was in church,I was just moved to go in front for prayers.That moment I didn’t want to ask anything,but I wanted to just thank God for 2026.It was the first Sunday of 2026.
As I stood at the front, I quietened myself while waiting for someone to pray for me. An unexplainable peace settled over me, and I could deeply sense the love of God in that moment. When the lead pastor came to me and asked, “Sister, what would you like me to pray for?” I replied softly, “Pastor, I just want to thank God for 2026.”
He released a prayer of blessing upon me thanking God together with me at that time for 2026.” There will be favor upon you.”That moment I felt the presence of God so intensely. I just knew 2026 is my year of testimonies.
I am a medical doctor by profession.Recently, I received my new work placement and a promotion. This became the first testimony for which I wanted to thank God. I am reporting to my new posting in the second week of 2026. While many are posted far from home, I was placed exactly where I had hoped to be.
Abba, ”I thank You.”
This week, my heart is also full of gratitude for the Seremban Connect family. Connect is our small community within Kingdom City Church. We gather fortnightly, and I do my best to be present every time. These gatherings have quietly sustained me. Week after week, they have kept me anchored—through the fellowship, the sharing, and the Word. In that safe space, I have experienced growth, healing, and a deepening of my walk with God.
Yesterday, my regional leader prayed over me as I prepared to step into a new place of work. As his prayer unfolded, he released a word over my life—that a new season was opening for me and my family. The anointing was tangible; I felt it deeply within my spirit. Then he spoke with certainty, “This is just the beginning.”
I am deeply grateful for this support group that has shaped me into who I am today. I came in broken and weary, unsure of myself. Yet through consistent prayer, gentle encouragement, and faithful friendships, I was sustained and rebuilt—week by week, moment by moment.
For a season, it felt as though I was hidden. It was like being a caterpillar within the cocoon—being formed in silence and strengthened in surrender. Now, I know that season has passed. I am no longer waiting. I have emerged as a butterfly. I am already in flight, moving in freedom, purpose, and grace. I am carried by all that God has done within me.
Yesterday felt like a divine coincidence. It was Social Connect, and our group had planned a barbecue gathering. Ironically—and beautifully—it also happened to be my last working day in my district before I move to my new posting. Truly, God is never late and never early; He is always right on time.
My Connect leader smiled and said, “You know what—this has turned into your farewell BBQ party in Seremban.” I laughed and replied, “Exactly.” What perfect timing.”
I am grateful for all He has done for me.
I whispered a silent prayer even as I am writing this note today. ”El Roi,go before me.This is my beginning.Go before me in everything what I do.As I fly,be the El Roi in my life, ”God who sees me”.
Genesis 16:13 (NIV): “She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: ‘You are the God who sees me,’ for she said, ‘I have now seen the One who sees me”.
There was a time when I felt like a caterpillar in the cocoon—out of sight, being shaped in silence. Those were not wasted days. El Roi saw the tears, the prayers whispered when no one else knew, the faith it took to simply keep showing up. He saw the becoming.El Roi saw me then. He sees me now. And He has gone before me into this new season.
I just know 2026 is not just another year.
It is my butterfly year—
a year of overflow, favor, and testimonies—
seen, sustained, and released by the God who sees me.
Dear readers,humble request do keep me in prayer as I fly to where He brings me.Only by His Grace.
