After work, I met Diana and Peck near my job and we went to Chinatown for dinner. We tried what is called "Shabu Shabu". Its the Asian version of fondue. Instead of dipping things in a cheese pot, you have vegetables, noodles and meat that you put in your own personal temperature controlled soup pot full of savory broth. You customize it to your taste, adding oyster sauce, peppers, soy sauce, eggs and a wide assortment of condiments. The name "Shabu Shabu" derives from the swish-swish sound the soup makes while your making and eating it. Here is a link that explains the origins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabu_shabu
It was delicious, as you can tell by our pictures and really fun!
Afterwards, we headed back to my place for tea and coffee. We prayed together for the New Year and all thing things we anticipate in 2008. We had a beautiful time of prayer for one another and thanking God for what He did in 2007 and what He's going to do in 2008.
Just before the "Happy New Year" hour, we drove to the Church and celebrated with our Harvest Church family. We have some new additions to our family and it was a blessing to come together for a New Years celebration.
This is going to be a great year! Still with its challenges and trials that we can't avoid, they come with a victorious outcome, more so than we could have anticipated - all because God is with us and His promises are yes and amen! We will look back and say "It was worth it. Thank You Jesus!" Because we are promised to be more than conquerers through Him who loved us.
Happy 2008!
