Bless bless and bless

Dear daughters...

Just want to thank you for all ur support and understanding even in this time of my adjustment to work. It's really encouraging to see how you all are really rising up to do things out of your comfort zone and taking the initiative.Keep it up! Hope that you all have enjoyed the retreat as much as i had. =)

Just want to post up the groupings for the 100 K challenge:
1) Cheong, grace, charis, kai
2) val, beiqin, suet
3) Nuan Yi, Elaine, Victorette
4) Jen, yvonne, Xinyi
5) Melissa, Gwen, Fiona
6) Peng, reg, des, debbie

For my group, i met up with fiona today and we prayed tog, our gp's daily synchronised prayer is at 11pm. So do go abt arranging ur times in ur gp.

Also some clarifications. The pastors will not contact ur friends, but they will mail sth to them, nth offensive, just to let them know that they will be kept in prayer, in fact till the end of the year. Though we are sent out to find pple to bless for one mth.. The prayer will carry on till the year end which is also part of consolidation by faith.

Beyond all these... may blessing be a lifestyle of ours.

Please keep me in prayer, cos i have a vision to see a church set up in my workplace.. starting this thurs. PRay that GOd' presence will visit and the pple will find rest. That the church will be a place of rest.

Love you all in His love.. Do keep testimonies cmg in!

Are you part of the 100K blessing?

Extracted from my blog.

We went back home after taking of photos and i am pretty much excited about going out to bless the nation with this 100K blessing. Especially along town area and in hospitals, but have to check out though, nurses might not want strangers to intrude esp after visitation hours. Like Fiona, i was counting the number of people i want to bless, whether or not there's already 20. But while walking home along the ulu bangsa street, God spoke to me, 'Val, its not the numbers that i want, its not about meeting the quota of 20 that you have to start searching your hp contacts for people to bless. I will bring to you these people, at the right place, the right time and the right people, all you have to do is to tune in to my voice.' I'm taken aback and am really enlightened. I repented and immediately obeyed His words.

And after i got home and bathed, nisa came to my room, wanting to teach me to make recycled paper, and i asked her about the blessing. Immediately, she said she wanted. And praise God! She's the 1st person that God wants me to bless. =)) After that, i felt prompted to ask my mom also. I asked her if she wants to be part of this 100K blessing, and she said 'ok, but i dont want 100K, i want infinite blessings from God!'. As usual la, i gave her the ?huh? look. After she saw the 12 blessings, haha she said she wanted all of them! -_-'' Boy, she hungry for God's blessings. then she said 'You ah...ALWAYS ENTICING ME ABOUT SUCH STUFF!!!" ahha but in the end she chose no.10 and she shared with me the book she was reading. It was about Forgiveness and she has reached the last chapter, its about 'how to lay down your burdens and how to release forgiveness!' She was so shocked that everything came so timely and believed it's indeed his works and not mine! Praise God man..

Dear sisters and brothers, i pray that this testimony will be able to let you grow more in faith and trusting the Lord. Things can never go wrong with God.

to Mel, thanks for your affirmation and encouragement. thanks for always being there for me and helping me out in the cell group. Your presence was sufficient.

to Regina, we will grow this cell together. Thank God for your willingness to always help people around you. I was one of those blessed by your acts of kindness. I miss supper times, this time round i will initiate to organize.

to Von, thanks for being such a wonderful listener and all the times of sharing we had. Thanks also for enduring with me at cambodia. Haha (sshh our secret, though i tink the whole cell knows already) Your humor has indeed brought me a lot of joy.

to Des, i miss those times we chatted over msn, just sharing our ups and downs. Please do come n click on me, coz my msn contacts r all gone.

to Fiona, thank God for your faithfulness. As you continue to mother tricia, gf and the rest of the cell, i pray that you will learn and understand the heart of a mother. If you need advice on bgr, just ask me ok? i'm not super pro la, but at least been thru enough to be able to help you through i guess. We will go massage together.

to Chng, i miss those times preparing singspiration in Sci Canteen and leading worship with you in gb. As you take up the role as an officer in gb, i pray that faith and trust will rise up in you, that you'll learn how to surrender to the Lord.

to Gwen, thanks for your prayers and chatting over msn. It was indeed a time of bonding and getting to know you better this year. The Lord just wants to say to you 'He's really proud of you'. To the things you do, I just want to affirm you that its really good enough. We appreciate it and the Lord appreciates it as well.

to Cheong, as you mother claris and grace, the Lord is faithful to provide. Know that He is your provider and you will be blessed. He will never short change you. Jia you in spiritual mothering, we are running this race together. Thank God for you, for always taking the time off on fridays to help me and regina lead worship and play the guitar. I really appreciate it loads. You dont know how much it means to us.

to Nuanyi, thank God for all the times we chatted over msn in the mornings when i had nothing to do at work. thank God for the times we had in cambodia too, i pray for more chances to be able to know you better. Let's continue to run on this race, towards our goal where Jesus is awaiting us.

to Elaine, i enjoyed your cookies and chocs and rice that you cooked. You muz teach me how to do so in the future! I want to cook for my husband as well. haha! And i know you will also take delight in preparing food for your other half in the future. Be still and know that He is God.

to Jen, thanks for all the sharing. We shall keep each other accountable. Just want to let you know i'm here if you need a listening ear. Remember, we will not settle for the 2nd best.

to Sik, thanks for being there as a friend when i started cell, your support really did make a difference, if you do not know. Thanks for bringing so much joy and laughter to us too.

to my dear daughters, i just want to tell you that i'm proud of you all. Dont ever think that you are running this race alone, coz i'm always here with you. God is always here with you too. We will wait patiently for the rest to come back, coz Love is patient. Let's continue to run on this race together. I'm excited seeing each one of you growing slowly but surely. Love you always.

photos!


goodbye debbie and suet ming...
may the Lord's angels be with you always.
we will see you guys soon.


convocation at bugis mrt? cool.


and this is the newly elected miss bugis.

haha. no la. why did i ask her to take with the station signboard and the bouquet? because it shows the love of the family. though we couldn't make it in time for the convocation at nus, we still made it for convocation at bugis mrt. it's really the heart behind it. glad that you know, we love you yvonne.


miss bugis with last year's winner. wahaha.


the beautiful moo moo card. everybody say thank you gwen for making the beautiful cards. it's really nice and even though it's a bit torn, but even its imperfection shows our love. because we were too enthusiastic with passing the card around to sign our blessings. haha.

not everything in life is perfect, it's the experience and journey through it that matters. the card has been through alot, hours of construction and design, hours of filling it with blessings. it's really what goes on behind the final product. at the end, it is really beautiful.

and that's not just about the cards, but about what we all are. hours of handcrafting, hours of design, hours of planning, hours of joy, hours of tears, hours of molding, hours of refining, hours of discipling. the most perfect of imperfections.

Announcement- Cell Retreat aka Chalet

To my dear cell group sisters, as we all know the day of our chalet is nearing. (so exciting right?!haa) So now, we have to go into intense preparation. For what? for the BBQ of course. We are there to EAT! So, all the people who are having holidays and free, let's plan the foooood. As you can tell, even as i am working, i am quite free so i have done some research. Firstly, some updates.

Date: 13-15 July 2007 (Fri, Sat, Sun- check out by 10.30am)
Location: Costa Sands Downtown East (which is in Pasir Ris, not East Coast, take note!)

Now for the BBQ food, which we were deciding to buy on our own or to order online, as most techno-savvy people are doing.

http://www.ezb.com.sg/index.asp

I have found 2 websites, but have decided that this one wins the other. and is slightly cheaper. However, i do not know what would the price be like if we were to buy from a supermarket. BUT, i think this website is pretty affordable (i think) and got delivery (which is like sooo convenient, we will not have to take the shuttle bus out to white sands to buy and carry back then). however, this will need to be discussed with everyone first, so please take a look at the website and we shall discuss on sunday!

That's all for the BBQ.

p/s: the sambal stingray looks good. and chocnana or something, which i know some people will like.
