Well... one thing still remains, the center focus of our wg.. Jesus Christ=)

And with that, it brings hearts to want to grow deep in God... I understanding that all of us(except me=P) that we are going through one of the most busiest, different and most difficult time in our lives... everything seems to be rushing... getting us disconnected with God time and time again...

Well.. let this be a reminder... Allow God to take control, to lead, to grant you this heart to want to serve Him even more... wanting to love even more... TRUST HIS HEART=)

I believe all these pressures and busyness are really hitting us so hard that it is so difficult to stand up again... i believe this are tests and by Mr S.A Tan himself...(if you do not know what does that mean, its SATAN)

Well from now and today, lets keep one another in prayer and in encouragement... and learn to give thanks... and praise the Lord in these moments of difficulty..=)

can? haha.. i know we can do it guys... no more insults... TRY.. =) i will definitely try on my part =D

JIA YOU! =)

ok.. this is gona sound dumb..but.. yup.. i really need prayer in the area of getting my job and pay right...(i need the money for my family stuff) so... in terms of the job.. i strongly sense this feeling that God is going to use me to redirect someone to God... i duno who.. but.. i believe this is for real.. haha=)

Its kina of funny but.. i realise that God indeed has been really speaking to each and everyone of us.. well.. and i really hope that you guys could also pray for me in the area of my growth..

Well.. to be truthful its really scary to work in this working world.. and now that the time has come for me to make personal and "huge" decisions...like what job and the pay and stuff...

ya... the other area.. maybe would be the spiritually aspects.. temtations has been really hitting me hard... and.. ya.. i must admit that for the past half year i kina gave up on God..(don't trust and depend on Him) and well... i have been really to WEB in vain.. haha.. ya.. but... i really hope to go back on track with God.. so pray for my journey... it has been really rough and draining for me.. =)

and galv's sorry but i have to say.. i really need more time for the encouragement note thingy... well i promise i'll be done before good friday.. SORRY ABT THAT.. haha=P but seriously.. i need time to get back on track=) thanks for enduring and understanding..=) also for reaching out a prayerful hand=)

We were having a belated birthday treat for Dori from dad when Dori asked me a rather perculiar question:

So... have you followed up on your boys?

I took a double take, thinking that I heard wrongly... cause there aren't any new guys to follow up on at this point. Then she went on to clarify the question in light of some of my guys going through some transitions - from secondary two to three is one (aiyoh... sounds mathematically wrong)... but the main one has got to be from secondary four to junior college or polytechnic.

I didn't have the experience as a Christian to talk about these transitions... but I do know that there're significant changes in the later mentioned transition. The two guys from my group come from all boys school... so yea, now they're in the midst of more female counterparts. Hahaha... but yeah, it's more of the schedules and activities that'll inevitably increase.

Both of them aren't attending youth service tomorrow - one's having his orientation activities and campfire... the other one's having his orientation group outing.

It's time for the kite to fly and for the string to be slack. ;) If anything, it gives me the avenue to trust Him... and them, that they'll learn to move as He moves. God is ultimately in control.

Five years ago I understood in my mind what my church's mission statement meant... five years later, I understand what it means experiencially:

Covenant Evangelical Free Church is a disciplemaking church that extends God's Kingdom in Singapore and beyond, multiplying Christ-centred disciples who master their life's transitions through biblical discipleship.

Which is why discipleship is important... to build upon a firm foundation is important... for when the wind blows, the house that's built on sand will collapse. The evil one will not stop in his age-old distractions, deceptions and delusions... and the only way to counter that is a firm grasp of the faith... having that living, personal relationship with God.

2007 will be exciting... as with 2008, 2009... I know my God is faithful... and I know they'll all be alright.

:)

Happy New Year TMS.
