Let's Race Together

Yesterday, 28 Oct 2009 has marked the beginning of running the new race.

Now the care group has officially birthed.  We start running our own care group yesterday. The team of leader has done our very best in coming out with a new group and in talking to different kind of people about the new grouping.

I started the new care group with a lot of fear in me. I have many pesimistic thought, doubt and lack of faith.
But God has reminded me about FAITH from times to times. This reminder from God has caused me to flip on the bible and meditate on the verse Hebrew 11:1 "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see". When i meditate on the verse it caused me to think what am I hoping for and what do I really want to see in this new care group.

I HOPE THAT:
1. The care group will have more new friend to join (especially guys..we only have 2-3 guys in the group)
2. Each people will grow in term of their stature with God (daily walk with God, commiting to the local church, start to take caring n follow upping people)
3. To see 10 regular people in the group by end of Jan 2010
4. To relate well with the new core team
5. To have a guitarist in the group

Being sure of what i do not see - is really refering to the area that I am pesimistic about. I thought that this new group, the people are a bit quite; not as bubbly and lively. We do not have guitarist; will this affect the atmosphere of the cg? I actually question all these to God, and God answer me with the verse "to be certain of what i do not see. To put my certainty in Him rather than in the situation". It will be my choice to stay pesimistic with the situation that I'm in now or i choose to face it with FAITH - to be sure of what i hope for and to be certain of what I do not see.

Yesterday care group which is our first care group is very encouraging. And it ups my confident and my courage to run the group. We are not that quite after all...People are very supportive and they make the group become lively. I enjoyed yesterday care group. There was 7 of us yesterday who turn up for the care group. It is a small group which makes us to feel closer to one another as each of us get the attention from everybody. I shared with them about running the race together from the book of 1 Cor 9:24-27:

24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

What i can picturize about this passage is everyone in the group is running in the racing field. All of us start the race together and we are aiming the same finishing line. The end objective is for us to end the race together as one group. As the times goes, some of us may start looking tired, losing out our stamina, feel like giving up, feel frustrated..but there will be some people that are still feel excited, still full of energy to run the race till the end. And as one group we want to cheer and encourage one another in the racing field to keep running. Keep pressing on to reach the finishing line together without leaving anyone behind...

Thus, Let's continue to press on, keep going, keep running and never give up till you finish the race for Him.

Phil 1:6
Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus

CL Outing - Bowling

Our first CL outing is on 11 Oct..We are going to take this time to celebrate Goto and Jorry's Bday. At the same time we also want to welcome the new CL...WHO ARE THEY????? They are none other than VELLY, NIA & YULI!!! WELCOME ON BOARD FOR THREE OF THEM!!

Where did we go????Wellllll....This was the challenging part because the activity and the venue keep on changing...starting from wanting to go karaoke, then change to ice skating...And finally we decided to go for bowling. Actually i wanted so much to go for karaoke..i thought this would be the good idea coz most of the people in the team is from worship ministry..thought this could be a fun activity for us...buttttt too bad at the end we did not go for karaoke..we went for bowling instead..anywei we still have fun there...

It's good to wake up earlier!

This week is another hectic week for me....Almost everyday i have something on which caused me not able to go for my exercise. I've been wanting to go for gym in the morning since i start working at 10 a.m and most of the nights i will be occupied with something. I thought i can just wake up earlier and go for my exercise. And this week i have determined to do so...AND GUESS WHAT??? I MADE IT TODAY!! HAHAHA!!

Today i manage to wake up at 6.45 a.m...getting myself ready and set off to gym at 7 a.m... the journey from my home to the gym was quite long..and i forgotten to bring something and to buy something...sigh..n that's cause me to reach the gym place late..and i can only do my workout for 50 minutes and i was late for work for about 10-15 minutess...hmmmm...i guess i've got to be slightly earlier next time..And i planned to go for morning exercise again this Friday!

Good to wake up earlier becauseeeee:

• I can have the time to do more things (like going for gym in the morning and at night i can still do other things)
• I feel more energize after my exercise and proceed to my work place with an energized body
• It helps to discipline myself (to sleep earlier so that i can wake up the next morning for my exercise. coz if not i will have the habit to browse internet n do this n that which at the end cause me to sleep late...sleep early can be for beauty purpose too...hehehe..i think i have a dark circle around my eyes oledyy...so sad..)

Soooo...Hope that i can continue to discipline myself to wake up early..hehehe

Slept for 8 hours last night!

Wow, it's been quite sometimes that i did not sleep for 8 hours..most of the time is about 6 hours or at time is 7 hours...

This weekend is quite a tiring weekend for me! On Saturday my cg and I went to Keppel Bay. We have a great time together. Though the games that we played is quite simple but we enjoyed playing the games together and the games also made us to know one another better..hahaha...

The games that i enjoyed the most is about "to know ur friend better". There is this question "If you are lost in a deserted island, who will be the 5 person from this group that you'd want to bring along?" haha..i thought this is interesting...my answer is:
I need guys who can help me to find the best spot for us to rest since my sense of direction is quite bad. Thus i chosed Joseph & Donny
I think we need some entertainment so that we will not feel bored. Thus i chosed Uci..i find her quite entertaining..hehehe
I think we might feel discouraged n might be losing hope while finding the way out from this island...Thus I chosed ming2 who will encourage us with God's word..hahaha...
Lastly, we might feel bored and need some story telling..hehehe...hm..who is the person that fit into this?AHAAA..It's Kiki..hehehe

That's is my answer..hohoho...

On tat day i reached home at 12.30 midnight...by taxi from Vivo to Sembawang..the charges is S$30!!! my goodness so expensiveeee....

The next day, i have shepherd training at 10 a.m at Joo Chiat office..Jorry n I will be teaching on that day. And i have not finished preparing for the shephered training..hoooooo....by the time i finished preparing it was already 2 a.m...n I slept around 2.30 in the morning...having difficulties to wake up the next day at 7.50 a.m...hooooo....And Sunday it's a long day for me..coz full of activity...and by the time i reached home it was already 10.30 p.m...i quickly took bath and tidied up necessary things and slept at 11.30...haha..that's how i get my 8 hours sleep...one of the personal trainer at the gym that i go to, advise me to have enough sleep meaning 8 hours sleep...hoooo how i wish i can do that everyday...i only manage to do it yesterday....hahaha....
