It's been a really long time since we have had such a huge attendance for WG (web group) time. As I was shuttling between addressing TMS in one of the rooms and doing backup vocals for today's service, I was giving thanks in my heart... about nine of them in the room, one serving in the sound crew and one playing the bass. Three more came along for service.

We needed a huge table connected to a smaller one for dinner after that at the food court.. and yeah, it's also been a long time since we have had such a huge gathering for dinner after service.

And talk about unity of the stomaches... all of them abandoned the table after their first round and came back with a plate of prata each. Youths really know how to eat. :|

Haha... and in all these things I give thanks. It's not so much of the numbers... but to see how God has been working in each and every one of their lives.

Sometimes they'll just never know how much encouragement they bring simply by their presence... but yeah. I may not show it these days... been finding it harder and harder to emote lately (am trying to figure out why), but hey, I just want you guys to know that each of you really matter. :)

And I must say that though the journey was arduous, it was well worth it. There'll come times where feelings of inadequacy will strike... but at the same time I have learnt to entrust such thoughts back unto Him... and know that He'll be the One seeing it through.

How else will you see an extreme introvert who'll rather remain quiet in gatherings find the strength and perseverance to see the most hyper group through the past four years...?

Haha... *points up* *points to the heart*

One part of me's fraught with uncertainty... but the other's filled with excitement overflowing.

The one thing I know... is that He'll be faithful to see each one through. :)

"I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come." - Ephesians 1:17-21

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." - Ephesians 3:16-19

Jiayou guys. :)
