New Beginnings

Today's the beginning of a new chapter in my church life and I am feeling both elated and sad at the same time. Elated as a new chapter brings along much excitment and great things to be experienced in this new year of change and crossing over. But it is also sad as in order for a new chapter to be opened the old one would inevitably have to come to a close. Today I shall dedicate this post to a bunch of lovely people who have made the previous chapter one that's filled and overflowing with love, joy and fun. Thank you PL1 for being such an important part of my life.

As I look back and ponder about the times I've spent with my beloved cell group I can't help but remember the moments of laughter and crankiness (mainly me) that we've shared. They will always be etched in my memory and engraved upon my heart. I really treasure every second being with them and I wish I could relieve every single one of them just once more...

We started off as strangers, unfamiliar with our peers which we were obliged to meet each week. The initial sessions were awkward and quiet, with just me and nings trying our very best to make whatever conversation we could, and the girls and boys seemed like two separate entities in the cell. But as the times passed through our multiple cell groups and outings this bond of friendship and love began to form. I still remember vividly the times we spent having steam boat at my house or even hanging out at the Zoo, how happy and contented I felt during those moments just longing for more of those to come. Just wanna say 'Thanks for the memories!' its been really great to be with you people.

If you were to ask my heart I wouldn't want this chapter to end but to go on forever to new adventures new places that we've not yet ventured together. But as much as I do not want to be separated from you beloved people, I still do believe that God has a grander plan for us in the new cells where He has called us to be. Brothers and sisters this is not goodbye, we can still hang out and continue to be there for each other even when we are in our new cells.

For those who are continuing this new chapter alongside me, be prepared for an exciting ride! Great things are gonna happen as we groom and shape this cell up together. My wish and prayer for the cell is that they will all grow up into responsible and spiritually matured Christians under all of your (and mine) guidance. I would also wish that we will become as bonded as the old PL1. I will need all of your help and support and thanks for continuing this journey along side me.

As for my other darlings that won't be in the same cell as me anymore just want to say thanks again for making the pervious chapter a lovely and fulfilling one. May God even grant you more people to love and care for and also more people who would love and care for you.

For Yinings. Thank you for serving alongside me and the sacrifices you made and the time you spent for the cell group. You've been an awesome leader and someone I'll always look up to. Thanks for always correcting me in love and always being so patient with me although I am so stubborn half the time! Thanks also for being a listening ear regarding zone stuff. May you even excel in your ministry in CM and also in ur studies during your break!

For SHAR:) Thanks for being so so much more than a cell member and a really great personal friend. Thanks for all the sweet things you've said and done for me. I will really miss you in the weeks to come. You have been a great source of joy in my life and you've always made cell so much more enjoyable for me:D Continue to be a great example for the younger girls and I will always be here if you need me! Thanks for all the times you listened as I ranted and for all the laughter you've brought into my life too:)

For Phoe:D You know I once told Hannah that you're one of the most lovable people I know hahas. I really enjoyed being with you, talking to you and suaning you:D It'd have been great if you were around more often hahas (I'm not blaming you!) but thanks for the moments we shared and sometimes I really do feel like you're my younger sister! Thanks again for the company:D You've made me enjoy those outings really fun:D

For Elson! I doubt this separation will affect our friendship much considering that we've known each other from like millions of years back! Thanks for the support you've given me and the times we hanged out together! Looking forward to serving along side with you more in BCM:) We could jam more often or something! And I hope tt you'll have fun in your new cell!

Anyway apart from the new cell I also met my new BCM cell today! I'm back serving in BCM after all these years once again (not counting drumming). Taking a p3 cell, they're really cute but kinda naughty...really love the kids:D. K thats all for today!

Safe

One of my favourite Christian songs that never fail to reassure me or to cheer me up :)

To the one who's dreams are falling all apart
And all you're left with is a tired and broken heart
I can tell by your eyes you think your on your own
but you're not all alone

Have you heard of the One who can calm the raging seas
Give sight to the blind, pull the lame up to their feet
With a love so strong and never let you go
oh you're not alone

You will be safe in His arms
You will be safe in His arms
'Cause the hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made
He will be with You always
When everything is falling apart
You will be safe in His arms

Did you know that the voice that brings the dead to life
Is the very same voice that calls you to rise
So hear Him now He's calling you home
You will never be alone

These are the hands that built the mountains
the hands that calm the seas
These are the arms that hold the heavens
they are holding you and me
These are hands that healed the leper
Pulled the lame up to their feet
These are the arms that were nailed to a cross
to break our chains and set us free

First Post of the year

Its finally 2010! Sigh...I won't say that 2009 passed in the blink of an eye cos it was long and torturous and I feel that I've really been through so much more in 2009 than the other years in my life...Anyway have been quite sad about the reshuffling of cell recently and the only thing I really like about my new cell is that Elliot is there hahas...sigh...must we do it so quickly?

OK now for the happy things that hopefully will cheer me up a alittle...Had quite a blast going out/celebrating Christmas and New Year!

Favourite Psalm

Was doing my EDWJ in Army and came across my bookmarked favourite Psalm! Its really comforting to just read it and think about what it says.

Psalm 139

O Lord, you have searched me
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely ,O Lord.

You hem me in - behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was first made in the secret place.
When I was woven in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

How precious are your thoughts , O God!
How vast the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me you bloodthirsty men!
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord
and abhor those who rise up against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensice way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Quote

Hahas hey people I suddenly remembered this quote from some book which is really sweet and so I decided to put it up on the blog.

It goes something like this: "For God did not take woman from man's head to rule over him, or from under his feet to be trampled by him, but from his side to be equal to him, under his arm to be protected by him and close to his heart to be loved by him."

It is not 100% correct but just what I can vaguely remember.
