Gathering

During Hari Raya, i invited some of my relatives to my house for a gathering.

The 2nd photo on the left is my cousin, and cousins' children. The one at the very right is my God son. His name is Zhaoxian. He is quite quiet by nature which i was so worried initially. He does not behave like the rest of the children, hyperactive. but choose to be quiet and disciplined.

In fact, i never thought of taking photos previously until recently, i'm putting up the photos at my wall, and discovered that i don't have a lot of relatives photos. Thus, i requested for the pictures to be taken with them. So happy!

My First Trophy in my Company

Today is our company Bowling day, and i got the runner-up for female open category! I did not expect i can get any trophy! I've been participating every year for the past 3 years, and every year i'll just play for fun. Surprisingly, i made it this year! Praise God!

It's really encouraged me as i don't really thought much about this, but in fact, it carries some weight to my thinking and action. I know that i've to continue to shine for God in my workplace, and not only excel in my job, but other areas as well. I've decided to exercise more, and one of the days, i can go for some competition in life.

I've lost heart ever since i injured my back when i fell down from the stairs 3 years back. I seldom exercise, and always thought that by exercising, it will worsen my conditions. But, it seems the reverse, by not exercising, i'm putting on more weight, and make me sick quite often.
I've decided to exercise at least once every week! That's my aim for now and next year! Though no confidence that i can slim down, but i think good for my health.

Death of a friend.............

I've been feeling down these few days. My ex-cg friend had chosen to end her life due to mental illness. She has came to our church few months back, but not very regular. Though we are not very close, but we got along well and can chat a lot.

Her name is Michelle Goh, and she told me a lot of her issues in life. Being a friend, she is quite nice, and i rem she gave me a Doraemon water bottle when she found out that i like Doraemon. I rem that she shared some testimonials about her life, and how God helped her through during difficult moments. I know that it had been very hard for her to go through such pain when her illness relapsed. I know she must had struggles a lot and could not take it at that moment of time. As a friend, i failed to concern her more. Always think of "what if" after she is gone....

Today went to her funeral at Mandai Crematorium to send her off. Last night, i dreamt of her, and she bid farewell to me, "I am leaving" was the only words that i heard from her in my dream. I know that i'll not forget her and the moments we had together. Why must she leave? Can't she fight the battle with God's help? I really don't want her to leave like that....

Till now, i still feel very sad in my heart, my heart is crying for a loss of friend. I don't know when can i get over....it's just very painful

Some tots

This week is our church vision week, and Pst gave us a good record of the whole of last year, and what to be done in the next year. In fact, i'm quite excited about all the things that our church is doing, and feel that God is moving very mightily in our church.

I'll start to serve in ministry finally! The assistant cgl had assigned me to join the chorus board, and this is one thing i wanted to try on, and it's a big challenge for me. My han yu pin yin is not very good, but i'm willing to give a try. I'm excited and pray for strength in this area. However, i know that my burden is still with people, and to do visitation for eldery or maybe to join CHCSA for visitation. And one thing for sure, i cannot be usher.

When Pst preached about what our church had done over the past one year, i felt very touched. Suddenly, i remember my friend asked me this question, "Do you hv relevation that Jesus would still die for your sin if you are the only person sin?"
I remembered that i answered no as i really don't, except i remembered in the bible, Moses asked God not to destroy the Isralities if He can found 10 ppl that obeyed Him. (after negotiate with God from a certain no.) i felt God's love over the unfaithful ppl, and know that God is still willing. However, during the preaching, i have this revelation that God will still die for me even if i'm in the only one who sins. Because, God still believe that one can make a difference, and we can bear fruits.

I know that i'll continue to grow in this church, and my belonging to this church gets deeper each day.
