=)

cell group last night was really good. though it wasn't of great music, great band, great preaching or anything of that sort at all, it was filled with the Holy Spirit.

i felt really encouraged as we shared about our quiet time, what God spoke to us and as we prayed for each other. even as we share, just felt that we are not running the race alone. and when we are dry or down, we can know that there is someone, there is a family here to depend on and to draw encouragement from. we've never really shared outright just how we felt our christian walk is with each other. feels kinda weird to just say it out, but as we share, it allows us to have insights into each other's lives and even to encourage each other with His words more.

and even as we sang, the heart of worship without the guitar, i just wanna say, don't you think it sounds beautiful just as it is? simple and from our hearts. sometimes we just need to recognise that worship at the end, stripped off of the guitar, the drums, the keyboard, the bass and all, is all about Jesus and us worshipping Him with our souls.

so i'd just like to encourage my sisters, do not fear to lead worship even if you feel that your guitar skills or vocals is inadequate, because what needs to be adequate is God's presence, not us.

let us continue to encourage each other and even edify each other that we may grow together in Him in this victorious year!

it's all about you. it's all about you jesus.

Gratefulness

its been ages since i blogged here. As i read through the entries, i cannot help but be amazed at how much God has done in each and everyone of our lives. The times when we were down and out, the times when we shared our happiness together as well, i really thank God for this spiritual family.

some may ask.. 'arent you sick of hanging out with your church friends?' even my mother asks me that. yea, and the answer is a no. Being with them and just simply rotting and stoning away is something so comfortable that i wouldnt even be sick of it.
though occasionally there may be outbreaks of arguments here and there, but it never lasts long.

i really look forward to growing deeper with this family and spend the lifetime growing old together.

Dear Lord, thank you for this family. I pray that as we together build a closer bond that this anointing will flow downwards and i will be able to see the girls bond as well. That it is not just purely a friendship, but more than that, a closely-knitted relationship between siblings. Knowing that everyone shares the same blood -the blood of the lamb. May you even remind us that unless You, Lord build the house, we will labour in vain. Not our kingdom that we are building, but yours.
thank you Lord.

i love you.

piping hot pics!

still lingering after the long new year break? the exciting countdown RETRO party? here's the good news!

no, there's no more break i'm afraid. sigh, yes. BUT, the pictures are out! hot from the oven! (yes i can hear you say, like real, it's been like 7 days already. wahahaha)

choose your birthday gift for 2007!

it's 3 jan 2007, 9.40am. i have nothing to do for now. hehe. okay, now for the real post. as you all know, it's been hard choosing a birthday gift for each of us as some of us aren't exactly a gifts person either. so at the beginning of 2007, mel has requested for us to tell her what we would prefer for a birthday gift, BUT it's not just a gift, this birthday present is according our love language. so....(drumroll), presenting to you the 5 love languages, pick your birthday present now!!

1. words of affirmation: eg. of gifts related to this love language would be, letter, card, etc
2. quality time: eg. a day out together, eating together, etc (as i requested, for me i prefer this, but the meal must treat la, i don't want to pay myself, wahaha. and the place must a relatively nice place. heh)
3. gift: eg. no need for example right? it's what everyone is doing, buy presents.
4. acts of service: wah this one is hard. 被考倒了。why not someone give me an eg?
5. touch: hmm..(ahh the last 2 so hard!)..say, everybody give u a big hug?wahaha.

okay, so all MNG, post your choice here. also, if you can give examples for acts of service and touch, then post them too.
