W412's blog

Just a little something I was thinking about

2009-05-01T10:58:00.005+08:00

Just a little something I was thinking about...

Let's ask ourselves: Why do you go for CG/service?

Is it to meet up with friends? Is it because it's really fun?

Do you still think about God and really love him after the CG/service? Like, on a normal day where everything seems dull, or when you're really tempted to do something that's against God?

If your new CG had nobody you knew, would you still go?

Do you go for CG because you genuinely, truly want to improve your relationship with God?

I think that's the most important question to think about, because it determines how faithful/passionate for God we really are.

This... is a church in Africa.

And I feel that the people most worthy of respect are people who praise God even though they might even get persecuted for it, like in China some time ago. Doesn't that reflect true faith? Not giving up in your pursuit for God even when you know you're all alone in your faith and might even get jailed for it. These are the people who truly love God. I cannot say I would ever live up to that kind of faith, but we should all try our best, shouldn't we?

Well, if you didn't know anyone who was a Christian and you constantly got condemned for your religion, and church was nothing more than a boring old building, would you still go? Would your faith for God still be.. there, let alone strong?

Multiplication

The Big Day.

So, Jason asked us all to stand at the back of the room and he'd call us up to the front and stand either on the left or on the right..
Still smiling, unaware of our fate.
At that point, Germaine was the only girl on the right hand side of the room..
Willie and Saunders and Xiao Xuan, in the same group as me. Willie and Saunders were feeling terribly upset because they were the only guys there.
The last time Jason and Daniel will lead together

The last time we'll eat Daniel's mum's noodles

I will totally miss:

- Fion. I don't know you well, but you're really sweet, and when we were paired up to pray for each other you paired up with me and really prayed a lot for my O levels and I'm really thankful for that. Fion, WO AI NI! Fion was crying really badly, because she's separated from us all. Gave her a hug and told her I would really miss her even though I didn't know her well. And I mean it.

- Small Sebastian. Even though I've never talked to him before. I'll really miss his liveliness and little jokes. Man I'll really miss him. This is weird, considering the fact that I've never talked to him before. But well all of us in (the old) W412 would understand yeah.

- Big Sebastian's off-key and off-rhythmness. Hehehehe. Explanation not needed. Very cute.

- Adrian's blurness.

- Germaine and Shirley's bubbliness and chattiness. (*sob sob*)

- DANIELLLLLLLLLLL. (Explanation not needed)

...And it's a whole new beginning.

Dear W412, I'll miss you guys like crazy. This is the start of a whole new journey, we'll set out to get more people for God. It's going to be tough and sad but we'll still have one another! And so what if we're now two CGs? We can still meet and bond and update one another on what's going on in our own CGs. And I really really pray that not a single one of us will fall apart from God.

It's easy to "be on fire" for God in CHC initially, because well, it's fun. But it takes an incredible amount of determinance and a lot of faith to continue to believe in Him. It's so easy to ignore Him, to fall away, to sin unconsciously, to let corrupted thoughts ruin you, especially when our faith is dry. Let us all continue to fight for Jesus and never ever give up. When Satan wants to pull us away from God, let us fight back like crazy. I pray that we will all continue to be faithful Christians and never fall away, because I see so many cases of backsliders in CHC and it's really depressing.

Let's always continue to fight this battle and never give up, okay?

I guess multiplication is a good thing. It's a sign that God's Kingdom is growing! And it shows that God's blessings are on us, so that we can bring more and more people to Christ, get more people saved in this corrupted world. The Army of the Lord is expanding, and W412 is growing.

We're the first CG this year in CHC to multiply because there are too many people. That's a good thing for us, but a very very sad thing for the Kingdom of God. It needs to expand more. There are so many people out there who need salvation.

No, wait. We ALL need it.

Let's bring loads of people to Easter celebrations and bring them to God (:

I'm going to share with you something I found on the net several weeks ago. It's very amazing! :D

This is about 70 miles from Amarillo outside of town called Groom, TX . I had only seen the giant Cross that is in the center. It has now grown to these other statues.
Read message at the end of pictures!
These are the pictures of the crucifixion of Christ
Sculptured from metal by a man near Amarillo, TX.

The crosses are made of metal also. The man did this out of the kindness of his heart.
Someone donated the land on which to erect them.

Who is Jesus?
HE IS JESUS
WHO IS HE?

IN CHEMISTRY, HE TURNED WATER TO WINE.

IN BIOLOGY, HE WAS BORN WITHOUT THE NORMAL CONCEPTION;

IN PHYSICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF GRAVITY WHEN HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN;

IN ECONOMICS, HE DISPROVED THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURN BY FEEDING 5000 MEN WITH TWO FISHES & 5 LOAVES OF BREAD;

IN MEDICINE, HE CURED THE SICK AND THE BLIND WITHOUT ADMINISTERING A SINGLE DOSE OF DRUGS,

IN HISTORY, HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE END;

IN GOVERNMENT, HE SAID THAT HE SHALL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, PRINCE OF PEACE

IN RELIGION, HE SAID NO ONE COMES TO
THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH HIM;

SO, WHO IS HE?
HE IS JESUS!

JOIN ME AND LET'S CELEBRATE HIM; HE IS WORTHY.

THE EYES BEHOLDING THIS MESSAGE SHALL NOT BEHOLD EVIL,

THE HAND THAT WILL SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYBODY SHALL NOT LABOR IN VAIN,

AND THE MOUTH SAYING AMEN TO THIS PRAYER SHALL SMILE FOREVER.

REMAIN IN GOD AND SEEK HIS FACE ALWAYS. AMEN.

IN GOD I'VE FOUND EVERYTHING!

The Greatest Man in History
Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.

Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.

Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer

He had no army, yet kings feared Him..

He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us!

AMAZING EH?

Hey guys, as you guys know, multiplication is near, and maybe, some of us may not be in w412 anymore. So just wanna write a post, kinda my first one in case. (:

Anyways, i guess from my writing style, some will sure know who's writing this.
Well, rest assured i'll leave my identity behind.

Those who're not part of it you may raise your hands.
And you're excused from this, but if you are, stick and read on.

Well, as you can see, our CG, is really, and i mean REALLY growing. (:
It's a good thing and yea, we do try our best to integrate new members.
And it's also an enjoyable thing to do yea?
But but but, sometimes, we get too attached to our certain group of people.
And, some may feel left out. So what do we need?
CellGroup outings!!!! Perfect Bonding sessions.
AND WE NEED A CELLGROUP PHOTO!!!
Initiative is what we need. (:

Those with cameras, do bring them in the next two CGMs we're gonna have.
And we can capture the family. (:
And, those with creative recreational ideas, do share, so that we can have more unique outings.
:D Sisters, do not be afraid to perspire, for we brothers will bring tissue for you.
Brothers, learn to perspire more, to bring out the manly feel and for some, smell. (:
Do try hard to find a MAN's NIGHT or something,
Then brothers enjoy half price and all that. :p
Anyways, what we need is really willingness, and punctuality. (:
So Let's all plan together!!

I really want a pool outing though! (:
&& i've got recommendations!
Anyone up for it, let me know, number's 8******* (:
yea, lastly, do smile guys..
And girls,

CELLGROUP OUTING FOR LADIES (:

2009-02-08T10:47:00.002+08:00

HEY LADIES !

Settler's Cafe is having Ladies Nite every THURSDAY from 6.00pm to 10.00pm

$6+ per person. The package includes free-flow of soft drinks.

We can choose any main course from the set meal menu for an additonal $6.

Guys, if you want to come along, pay $9 (:
[maybe you guys might be wondering, why guys must pay more than the girls. BECAUSE ITS LADIES NIGHT! :D so ladies get cheaper rates than guys. hohoho. if you want to pay 6 bucks, try disguising yourself as a woman & hopefully you can pass off successfully as a girl. haha. im just kidding okay. The guys in our cg are all handsome so even if they try to dress like a lady, it will be so obvious. HAHAHA]

okay, please ignore the parts in bracket. haha. sorry for the crap. (:
anyway, since ladies night is every thursday...

WE'RE GOING THIS COMING THURSDAY, 12 FEB in the evening at SMU's outlet :DDD

Do tag in th tagboard OR msn me OR sms me latest BY TOMORROW, 5pm
so that I can make the reservations for seats. No last minute changes should be made as it will be rather inconvenient. Thanks (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JASON!

I added some blings blings on it. :D I did not manage to use the computer for the past few days so hence, the late update. How have your days been? :D Awesome? Well, Chinese New Year is coming yeah. Everyone is busy shopping for their new year clothes. So, be happy everyone! Keep smiling, keep laughing, do whatever that makes you or keeps you happy :DD You may want to read this lyric to cheer you up! :D

My Favourite Things
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels,
door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings.
these are a few of my favorite things.

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
silver white winters that melt into springs,
these are a few of my favorite things.

When the dog bites, when the bee stings,
when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don't feel so bad.

Anyway, 'O' Level students, ALL THE BEST FOR TOMORROW! Remember to tell Jason your results 8D Everything's gonna be alright.. ♪
加油！
