Jia wei's Birthday! and Unit CG!

just came back from Boon Keng
today we had CG.
been long time since we laugh at each other.....a family that so crazy la! :P

First the election of Preidential Care Leader.
( Dennis, Kim, Rachel, Henry)
i liked the part about the "message from God"
hm...imagine i got one like tt, wow! what would God be writing on that note to me? hehe.. :)
* Church leaders are not appointed by men but God
*Authority is given as a blessing

Second the drawing by Debbie.
Sandy, Yi Cheng, Lawrence
( i see a hill, then a flat, then a rocket.....finally it's a lighthouse!)
the illustration of salt and light of the world.
*The church is a salt and light to the nation
*The church is a place of security

Third the the family scenario of parents and two childlike kids.
( Yuk Kuan, Lee, RuiZhi, Poy)
the mopping kid-Ruizhi
the spendthrift, going after new models hp kid-Poy
disciplinary parents-lee and yuk Kuan
*Every Christian should serve God fully
*Every Christian must follow God's will

Fourth, yeah ours.
tho we didnt win, but we had so much fun in discussing! what a laughter we had!
( Jingyu, Li Siong, Shi ming, CC)
somehow the flash came to my mind.
it was a touching story that i remembered until now. i remembered the first time i recd thru email ( which is long time ago), it spoke to me about carrying on, despite difficulties, tt time i almost let my feet slip and give up. i rem the flash story got me tearing because i was touched by its illustration of God's love for me.

God called the boy to carry the cross.
the boy went through storms- wind, rain, thunder, heat
the time to take up the cross is indeed tough going but God promised:and surely, I AM with you till the very end of age.
the boy persevered on and went on sharing the love of Christ to others.
*Every Christian must obey the Great Commission
*Every Christian is responsible to bring God's love to each nation

*- are some our philosophy of ministry

its time again to look into our spiritual family's values.
are those our values we hold in our heart?

God stay close with us, that we will stay close to You
Knitted closely as a family
You as the head of this CG, of this family
Jesus- You too will bring those who are out of this sheepfold
Longing to celebrate the day of all who come into this family! :)

... ...

Went to Boon Keng to give our brother, Jia wei a surprise!
to sing a birthday song for him,
to have a simple time of celebration with him
to laugh at each other
to pray for him
to bless his heart
to have a nite worth remembering
Because i saw love in this family
Kim, Rachel, poy, pei key, dennis, shi ming
who made their way to boon keng just to say: JW, Happy Belated Birthday!

... ...

all of us are like trees.
we need to take root.
the land - church is the place we take root.
Make a choice and decide.
then take root.
only then the tree can grow even more.

God let all of us like the eco system in the forest.
that we are all trees of different "sizes" some tall, some short, some are fruit trees, some are plants etc....
but in the same environment we are in,
we co-dependent on each other.
Let us be a family where we support one another.
the trees with wider canopy will help shelter the shorter trees...
the vines will cling onto the thick trunks.....
God, You will be the sun, ever there to give us Light and warmth.
to breath into us that we can get our nutrients.....
Without You, we will not be evergreen!
