:) LOVE ONE ANOTHER <3

Hi pple,

Once again your very own mummy. Yah i want to give thanks to God to for this cell that I am leading. Many of you know that I had a cell before you all and after that it had to close down and many things happened. I'm initially quite afraid to take a new group which is all of you, scared that I will not lead as well and take care of you all the way God will hoped for. But over these years with encouragement from all of you and Sally's G12, I am very affirmed in my own spirit. I will watch my own spiritual growth and my relationship with God so that I can impart more to all of you and that all of you will grow to become mighty and beautiful women of God. =) Thanks for all the presents and wishes that you have given me too for Christmas and birthday.

Also i want to testify to God's goodness to my family. This is the first time i took such courage to invite my parents to watch the MOL because I am not at all close to them especially my Dad. There are still issues in my life regarding my Dad which i have to settle with God and these have always been a hindrance to me inviting them to come for church events. Anyway when i met them after the wonderful time we had at Starbucks to give them the tickets i already heard complains from my Dad. That kinda place me in a negative spirit and he was saying that if he knew it was $20 and had to even pay for it, he would not have come at all. Abit pissed i was. Anyway i told pastor yolanda and lawrence tan what happened and they encouraged me and prayed for me. I was hoping very hard that my parents will not come out complaining to me the show is draggy, long, not nice or about the preaching. Did not went home with them because of this kinda like avoiding them. Came home ask them how it was and my dad was the first one to tell me that it was very nice. I really thank God for it. My parents thought that Pastor Khong was some magician from other country la and when i told them he is our senior pastor they were shock. I am really proud of having Pastor Khong as my senior pastor and my spiritual elderly. So lets continue to remember him in our every meal and Listening room. (meaning pray for him ya not juz think of him).

I pray that one day my parents will come to know God and for the rest of you too. Let's keep praying and have faith. Next year is gg to be an exciting year for 90% of you... Taking O level and candice and gloria your sch exams. We will have a short retreat, no staying over after the first week of 2006 to do some planning, reflection for 2005 and resolution for your personal growth, cell grp growth and of course studies. Jia you... and for vanessa, candice and jacqueline, pastor yo has not forgotten to meet three of you yah... =). We will set a date prob this coming week ba.. i will contact you all...
