:) LOVE ONE ANOTHER <3

Time flies...

Hi pple,
Its been some time since pple blogged before Nikki. And its been a long time since i see all of you together. All of us have been busy and things cropped up here and there. Things happened within the cell grp and in church.

I felt that we are becoming more distant than closer. Not that it is all our fault but we do have some parts to play too isn't it? Since we only see one another once a week only during service time, it will be quite hard to be close anyway and we don't get to see everyone always. But I encourage you to make it your priority. I know that for some, other things and pple may seem more important and fun than God or the cell. I don't deny the fun part since we only meet up for cell to talk and pray. Very little can be done within that 2 hrs and since all of us are always tight for time.

We are going to be together for the rest of our lives, unless of course any of you decides to leave or God places you somewhere else. And I don't want to lead this family feeling that it will be secondary to other things in your life or even my own life. Feeling that it can be substituted by other things in life. (Not accusing anyone k... Don't worry. I have a part to play too.) This family have not grown since gloria's presence and i asked God why. Is it that we are too comfortable with one another or there are issues within the cell (with one another or individually)which must be settled before God will bless us with more. Pastor Khong once said that God will not give us more when things are not settled within ourselves and i guess it works the same way with cell growth.

I am very glad that i had spent quite a few days with Jacqueline, helping her with her exams and revision. I got to know her more in those 4 days than the 3 yrs we have been together and i enjoyed the time we had. I thank God for it but it also really makes me wonder why is this so and what have i been doing all these while to the sheep that God has given to me. Just because she doesn't appear alot, i left her alone and did not go the extra mile for her. Her walk with God and the family which God has placed her in was there but seemed not there too. It takes two hands to clap, the individual and the rest. But in a family, it doesn't matter who gives more because it is the relationship that matters most.

Though i am your mother, there is only 1 of me. All members in the family matters and have a part to play. Whether you are very proactive and willing or passive and unwilling, each of us has a part to play in building this family. Faith without deeds is nothing. I would like to add on that praying and saying without deeds is nothing too. Take ownership of this family and do what is needed to make it succeed as a loving, forgiving and joyful family.
If you get to read this, think about it ya.

Specially to Belicia and Michelle: Take the step of faith to believe that nothing is impossible for God.In your struggles, i pray that you will find God and whatever that is holding you back, lack of time, studies, incapabilities, doubts or unwillingness, i pray that God will break through in your lives. Take care.

......> Stef

Hey pple,

Zhiwai's grandfather is dying and that is what i have heard from Jacinth. Reasons, we are not sure. So pls keep her family and herself in prayer. And another thing, the basketball challenge on 11 feb this sat, its a whole day thingy for leaders, but i cant make it in the morning. So the probable timing which we will attend is in the afternoon around 1230. It will replace cell on sun k. I know you all have a lot of things to do also. Have fun during the shootout and pray that it will not rain at all.

saturday afternoon.

hmmm. heyy steph. it happens all the time to most people anyway.

my past weekdays after the cny holidays were kind of bad. i recently just started tearing my piano pieces book up, uh so i suppose i've gotta get it pasted before my exam. sometimes you get this feeling when you are like so darned lousy at everything. noone understands, noone knows. maybe you dont know it as well. but yea, but luckily i've got my wunnerful batchmates who have been like tolerating my nonsense and giving me encouragement all the way, even though i sometimes was harsh or suddenly started crying on the field during trngs. (man, i hate myself for crying) but my batchmates will always be there for me. even if i dont want to tell them whats wrong, even if anything happens, they will be right again. cause there'll always be a lovely group of people, loving and looking at me. (: really.
i've decided i hate brooding over stupid stuff like finding your identity etc. cause it's a waste of time! my identity has already been set the moment i was borned on earth what. yea. having an identity but trying to look for another identity really makes people sad and troubled. so its stupid.


so steph, the thing is CHEER UP! i'm sure God has always been there for you. and he WILL be smiling for you (: we should always be prayerful, especially in troubled times. he will bless you, and he will make things right. we are your batchmates! lol. just be patient and close your mind to stupid negative thoughts and do stuff you like. it'll help, i think.


puff. yea. i'd better continue with my testimonial if i want to get baptised on 17th Febuary (my piano exam, mannn). so people. i totally love my batchmates worxx.

byebye. see ya tmr! (:

CNY bluezz... =(

Hi,
I'm blogging during CNY because i got nothing to do and i am actually feeling quite down this festive season. Hai, was on my way home after visiting my relative when i felt this overwhelming sense of brokeness. I felt so lousy and that cause me to think of alot of things in my life. Its like i am not doing well in everything and i tot of giving up again. That also include my relationship with Julian. I'm really in the stormy season now and i dont know why. I'm tired of school, assignments, training and bla bla bla. I juz want to sit at a beach and watch the waves come by. (maybe that will make me even more bored...) I'm a difficult person man... and even i dont know myself well or maybe i should say at all..

Well that's all for today... juz sharing my tots in my house alone. Hope that God will speak to me i pray. Remember the signing thingy k and the basketball challenge on the 11th of Feb. I wont be free in the morning coz i am teaching tuition. Yah so i'll see u all on tue if u all can make it for cell outing. If not then the rest of us will go do something else. Me and val were thinking of eating crab haha.. Byes

Friday, January 13, 2006

again!

hello! just thought i would like to share this with you all - it's not about christainity, but yea. i got this from OBS, but maybe you all have it too, but in case you forget, here it is. (it'll be kind of long) (:


TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help you figure oout who you are. You never know who these people may be: you neighbour, child, long lost friend, lover, or even complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you and at that time they seem painful and unfair, but in reflection, you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would never have realized your potential strength, will power, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance, or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, whether they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience create who you are, and even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you give you heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would never have seen or felt without them.

Make everyday count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let yourself fall in love [only for those who are aged 16 and above] , break free and set your sights high. Hold you head up because you have every right to. Tell youself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't belive in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. (:

[Finally, luckily for you, if you dont do the rest of the above, just turn to God and rest in him - for in him you will find peace and love. (: 2006 : a year of extraordinary possibilities. ]


Thanks for enduring till the very end. (:

P.S. those written in brackets are from moi.

HII, i've decided to blog here instead of my own blog. im getting so bored of it. yeah.
IT'S THE WEEKENDS :) yayy, gloria and i have been waiting for sunday for a super long time. i guess it's the thing that gets me going :)
somehow im feeling so drained although hw hasnt really piled up and it's only the end of the uh. 2nd week of '06? haha. the weather hasnt been very helpful either.
but ohwells, i survived.
welcome back, cheryl :) obs is supposed to be lk fun in the sun but i guess you didnt really get to experience that. gees.
cyah all soon:)

lollers

hiee all.


i'm back from obs. actually its not too bad - just waking up at 5+ am, trekking 10+ km up and down mountains, carrying a more than 10 kg back pack. other than that, it's fine.

the problem was the weather. i was totally soaked for 2 days and 2 nights without a change of clothes. my group's bashaa (dunno how to spell) broke down and our sleeping place became a swimming pool. we trekked around in smelly ponchos under lightning and throught the forest at night - where we walked for 4 km plus 100 steps up stone stairs throught the mountain. im now soaking my soggy smelly feet in hot tea to remove the maze-like patterns on my foot.

how nice to be back home eh. yea. thats all for now.

bye!


cheers

:) LOVE ONE ANOTHER <3

Hiya pple,

Wow! yesterday's service was fantastic! i think all who went would agree with me and i really felt God's presence there on the 1st day of 2006. I really want to thank God for all those who came and especially valerie who made the effort to come even though she just touch down from canada at 12pm. I know the jetlag must be killing you but I'm really so happy that you came. I hope that for Valerie you will catch the purpose which God has for you in Singapore. We will be here for you as a cell and sisters. Of course me your mummy will be here for you when you need me too... I really dance to my heart's content and I am truely worshipping God with what i have. I am glad that all came down for the worship and praise though i know it was quite tiring to move in and out of our seats.. haha but its good.

I am also very encourage by those ppl who gave their testimony and showing their faces of who they are and what they had gone through in the past. Indeed whatever they have gone through are not anything which you want God to give you. But i felt that they have been delivered and by standing out like that and testifying to the goodness of God, they have helped many others who struggle in those areas to find God in their lives today. I pray that for this year, everyone will be able to testify of God's goodness everytime we come for cell meeting. By the way, i will want to change the term cell grp to either G12 or DG( Disciple group) soon. I'll pray about it first. I pray that even as we go about planning for our cell, God will show us what He wants us to do for Him and what we can do for our friends.

To Jacqueline, Jacinth, Cheryl, Valerie, Candice, Gloria, Vanessa and Nikki, you all have always been around and i pray that you all will continue to encourgae one another and give support with love more this year. For michelle, belicia and zhiwai whom we dont get to see you often, take heart that God always wants to draw near to you and He is always concern about you too. This year is a year of celebrationa and Extraordinary Possibilities. So pray that God will indeed do something extraordinary in your life. Pictures will be uploaded soon so enjoy.

Anyway pls check the blog again on tuesday coz i will want you all to do something before coming for cell on sunday after service. It will probably be at Valerie's house if she permits or else Nikki's but we will see to it. Have a Blessed New Year with the Lord!!!

Love stephanie

anyway. cheryl, just wanna let you know that whatever you're going through, we'll always always support you okay :) there's nothing wrong in being sad in front of others, especially those you trust, and you can trust us to be there for you whatever situation you're in! yupp :) in any case, i'll always be your big FAT jiejie :)

val, hopefully we can keep in touch through this blog because we havent been hearing from you :( you'll be in our prayers :) take care :)

HII NIKKI! im glad you're back on track with God :) you may be going through some tough times but God will never ever leave nor forsake you. Jehovah Remembers :) oh bytheway, we'll go search for denim shorts okay. gloria also wants a pair! this is quite random. whoops.

and to the rest of the cell, i hope we'll enjoy the bash together! it'll be a great start of the year celebrating our Lord Jesus Christ :)

im looking forward to 2006 :) it's going to be a brand new year, and a brand new beginning. 2005 hasn't exactly been all that good for me although it's a year deserved to be grateful for. well, i really do hope to put some unhappy things of 2005 behind and start afresh. im praying that God will help me through.

hello again.. =) forgot ta tell ya i was the one who blogged before cheryl.. hehe.. =x aniwae cheryl wat u said was in some sense encouraging bcox it's the first time u shared sth so personal.. i guess even when all of us are down, we try to hide it as much as we can esp when we're in church. actually for the past so many months i wasn't in tune with god and i had really drawn away from Him.. though in church i was always jumping about, inside i was hiding from god n ignoring him.. it was onli until the first service at expo that i finally came back to HIm.. n the one thing that touched me most was that he told me he remembers. i'm glad to be back with god again esp before the start of 2006 and i also wanna thank u guys.. because u all motivated me to continue going to church.. :) aniwae onli one friend has confirmed with me! my other frenz still can't confirm n i think that one friend wun go if the rest don't.. sigh.. but i'll trust god.. :D btw pls pray for val k.. val if u're reading dis wanna let u noe that we miss ya n we hope that u'll be able to make ur choice-jus follow ur heart.. and dun worry cos God will owes be there with u wherever u are.. :)

with love,
nikki

it's me. (:

hey guys. i was forced to blog. okay lah, but after seeing all your super long year 2005 reflections and stuff, yea, i should have stuff to say too.

firstly, i learnt alot this year. like, on the attitude problem thing that you all may not know. yea. i basically have an attitude problem. i struggled alot this year within myself and i slowly learnt what to do and handling all those crappy problems. i dont know why, but it seemed God never told me what to do. he may have been there and all, but hiyah, i was way disappointed in the way i solved problems. things will work out in the end, but those were possibly not the endings i wanted. encounter camp in november was great - there were lots of stuff i learnt and experience, and i could feel the importance of getting people to come and know Christ. yea, i really wanted to do all i can then. but after a while, the enthusiasm just died lah. i wonder where it went to. but anyway, i really want to go for baptism in january coz yea, it's really giving my life to Jesus and starting my whole life anew. so hopefully, i can be more positive and enthusiastic for church and truly being with God.

secondly, i hope to find myself this year. i want to find the person inside of me, really. i really don't want to be the person you all make me out to be. really, i don't. i'll try to open up to the cell group as well. lol! y'know, there are just somethings you don't want to talk about to some people. yea, in fact, i realised i never really shared some of the down times this year when i was going through some stuff. a recent xmas card from a friend once said she hasnt seen me sad or broken before...i keep it to myself and she said it was cool. and it's no fun coming to me when anyone has trouble or what cause i'll just give 'the face'. but i suppose cell is a group of people who support and help each other, isn't it. so yea. i'll start by at least adding you all on msn (i only have cand as a contact) and getting all your hp numbers right, i suppose. i'll try share, but i don't know how to go about doing it. -.-

so everyone, have a great year ahead. (: happy new year.



cheryl.

p.s. have you got your 4 ++ friends for the new year's bash?

:) LOVE ONE ANOTHER <3

:) LOVE ONE ANOTHER <3

Hi pple,

Once again your very own mummy. Yah i want to give thanks to God to for this cell that I am leading. Many of you know that I had a cell before you all and after that it had to close down and many things happened. I'm initially quite afraid to take a new group which is all of you, scared that I will not lead as well and take care of you all the way God will hoped for. But over these years with encouragement from all of you and Sally's G12, I am very affirmed in my own spirit. I will watch my own spiritual growth and my relationship with God so that I can impart more to all of you and that all of you will grow to become mighty and beautiful women of God. =) Thanks for all the presents and wishes that you have given me too for Christmas and birthday.

Also i want to testify to God's goodness to my family. This is the first time i took such courage to invite my parents to watch the MOL because I am not at all close to them especially my Dad. There are still issues in my life regarding my Dad which i have to settle with God and these have always been a hindrance to me inviting them to come for church events. Anyway when i met them after the wonderful time we had at Starbucks to give them the tickets i already heard complains from my Dad. That kinda place me in a negative spirit and he was saying that if he knew it was $20 and had to even pay for it, he would not have come at all. Abit pissed i was. Anyway i told pastor yolanda and lawrence tan what happened and they encouraged me and prayed for me. I was hoping very hard that my parents will not come out complaining to me the show is draggy, long, not nice or about the preaching. Did not went home with them because of this kinda like avoiding them. Came home ask them how it was and my dad was the first one to tell me that it was very nice. I really thank God for it. My parents thought that Pastor Khong was some magician from other country la and when i told them he is our senior pastor they were shock. I am really proud of having Pastor Khong as my senior pastor and my spiritual elderly. So lets continue to remember him in our every meal and Listening room. (meaning pray for him ya not juz think of him).

I pray that one day my parents will come to know God and for the rest of you too. Let's keep praying and have faith. Next year is gg to be an exciting year for 90% of you... Taking O level and candice and gloria your sch exams. We will have a short retreat, no staying over after the first week of 2006 to do some planning, reflection for 2005 and resolution for your personal growth, cell grp growth and of course studies. Jia you... and for vanessa, candice and jacqueline, pastor yo has not forgotten to meet three of you yah... =). We will set a date prob this coming week ba.. i will contact you all...

Love stephanie

heyy everyone :) MERRY CHRISTMAS! mol was great, although some of you didnt manage to catch it :( and service was awesome too! ahha. :)

since this is a season of thanksgiving, i just wanna thank God for placing each and everyone of you darlings in my life. this cell grp has been existing for err.. 3 years plus i think, and i believe God has a reason for putting us all together. although it's really hard for all of us to get together at one time for a meeting, since most of us have sport ccas and the rest are kinda busy, i really hope that we'll bond even more in the year 2006. after i read the purpose driven life, i realised that a cell grp isnt just there for us to account to one another, to share once a week, and that's the end of the story. instead, it is a group of people who can fellowship, and spend time together as sisters-in-Christ, knowing that whatever it is, God is the main focus of our gathering, of our lives. as the bible says in Galatians 6:2, "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.". indeed, i hope that the bond of our cell can strengthen up to the stage where we can always depend on one another through the good times and the bad. so i pray that God will bring us closer to one another, and we will all be better friends in the years to come :)

steph, you've been a fabulous cell leader and we really appreciate all that you've done for us :) we know being a cell leader isn't easy because you're partially responsible for our walks with God, and mentoring 12 teenagers is definitely not an simple task. may you find strength and faith in God, that you can carry on being that great cell leader you are, and that you will truly grow your own personal walk with Him :)

steph, nikki, jacinth and gloria, i thank God that we had spent this special day together :) actually to admit, i wasn't feeling very good throughout the day from the morning till service. but chatting with you guys at starbucks really cheered me up and although it was just a normal day of hanging out and sharing, i felt very grateful that God has blessed me with friends like you :) im glad that we were able to be open about topics that are quite private in a sense, because stuff that we talked about aren't exactly things that we will tell everyone. yupp!

and to the rest, thanks for being such great cellmates :) hopefully we'll get to spend more time together in the following year although most of you are going to be studying hard for the o levels :( may you all have a blessed christmas and may God's blessings be abundant in your lives :) i love all of you, thankyou for everything :)

with love, cand :)
