:) LOVE ONE ANOTHER <3

Time flies...

Hi pple,
Its been some time since pple blogged before Nikki. And its been a long time since i see all of you together. All of us have been busy and things cropped up here and there. Things happened within the cell grp and in church.

I felt that we are becoming more distant than closer. Not that it is all our fault but we do have some parts to play too isn't it? Since we only see one another once a week only during service time, it will be quite hard to be close anyway and we don't get to see everyone always. But I encourage you to make it your priority. I know that for some, other things and pple may seem more important and fun than God or the cell. I don't deny the fun part since we only meet up for cell to talk and pray. Very little can be done within that 2 hrs and since all of us are always tight for time.

We are going to be together for the rest of our lives, unless of course any of you decides to leave or God places you somewhere else. And I don't want to lead this family feeling that it will be secondary to other things in your life or even my own life. Feeling that it can be substituted by other things in life. (Not accusing anyone k... Don't worry. I have a part to play too.) This family have not grown since gloria's presence and i asked God why. Is it that we are too comfortable with one another or there are issues within the cell (with one another or individually)which must be settled before God will bless us with more. Pastor Khong once said that God will not give us more when things are not settled within ourselves and i guess it works the same way with cell growth.

I am very glad that i had spent quite a few days with Jacqueline, helping her with her exams and revision. I got to know her more in those 4 days than the 3 yrs we have been together and i enjoyed the time we had. I thank God for it but it also really makes me wonder why is this so and what have i been doing all these while to the sheep that God has given to me. Just because she doesn't appear alot, i left her alone and did not go the extra mile for her. Her walk with God and the family which God has placed her in was there but seemed not there too. It takes two hands to clap, the individual and the rest. But in a family, it doesn't matter who gives more because it is the relationship that matters most.

Though i am your mother, there is only 1 of me. All members in the family matters and have a part to play. Whether you are very proactive and willing or passive and unwilling, each of us has a part to play in building this family. Faith without deeds is nothing. I would like to add on that praying and saying without deeds is nothing too. Take ownership of this family and do what is needed to make it succeed as a loving, forgiving and joyful family.
If you get to read this, think about it ya.

Specially to Belicia and Michelle: Take the step of faith to believe that nothing is impossible for God.In your struggles, i pray that you will find God and whatever that is holding you back, lack of time, studies, incapabilities, doubts or unwillingness, i pray that God will break through in your lives. Take care.
