Father's Day and Cell

Happy Father's Day! A bit too late now but still Happy Father's Day! Let's appreciate our parents and what they've done for us. I always tell myself that without them, you wouldn't be alive and being alive ... that's one of the greatest gifts (if not the greatest) that we could ever receive from them.

And thank God for another successful cell outing and Abel's farewell party. I wanted to upload photos here but I can't copy the photos from facebook using Google Chrome. Anyway, all the best for the rest of the holidays and for school.

Praise God! God bless. Thanks everyone.

Today is Father's day! Let's not for get our Daddy in heaven and really thank Him for being a wonderful Father to us! =P

Hi everyone!

I've been away at camp for our new campus ministry for the past few days. We've just started it in school and the camp was to help us learn what it means to serve God and to equip us for it. I'm under the Evangelism ministry, and it's been a fun couple of days, getting to know more Christians in SA and of course learning how to approach evangelism.

I was reading Numbers 13:26, talking about how the Israelite spies Moses sent to the promised land came back and said the inhabitants there were giants and they would not be able to overcome it, although God had already promised that the land would belong to them. They called themselves "grasshoppers" and said they were seen that way in the eyes of the enemy even though it was not what their enemies were saying.

Are we sometimes too afraid to claim God's promise for us in our lives? I'm certain there are times when we feel intimidated or incapable of handling a situation when God calls us into it, but let's just remember that the battle has already been won, not by us, but by God.

We watched "Facing the Giants" during camp, and there were a lot of parts in the film where we could certainly learn a few things. The scene that really spoke to me was this part where Brooke, a woman who was trying to conceive, went to the clinic when she suspected she was pregnant, and upon receiving the news that she was not, she said "I will still love You." to God. Can we be like her, to always love God even if He denies of the things we want the most?

Just a little sharing =)

Hope you guys have a great holiday! =D

I miss radics :D

Hey radics..
i'm using a blog for the very first time in my life!! WOW. Though i dont know how it really works. But i've read ur posts and its really encouraging to hear from u'guys about ur week. :))

I just got back from my leadership camp and it taught me many different ways to bring a group of people together ( CCA: my netball team).. How important it was to bond the group too. I also can apply the teachings and lesson learnt into our cell-RADICS! (haha,sounds like PW)
Anw i think its really important to ensure that our cell is bonded. Hence there's this blog to do so :P
Okay about my week?? I like to thank God for the camp group im in ,we're really bonded & thats when we support one another to make situation better. In the same way: Believing that as a cell we 'make things happen & not wait for things to happen." I also like to thank God for the cell im in!! seriously! i think u'guys are efficient:)) I've been also constantly reminding myself to put God first in all that i do.- not studies, CCA, personal leisure. Instead of my selfish desires, asking myself constantly 'what would Jesus do?' & place myself in his shoes.
Its a tough season for me now: i know now that i'm sort of facing challenges ( time management & making decisions ) but his grace has always been upon me. :) I dont need to worry about anything( what i'll do tmr? what i'll wear? will i be able to meet my ex-classmtes tmr?), just trust the Lord our God. & that too has been a challenge for me!! but im learning along the way with every step i take ( with the hope in the lord that i know he is there :D)-just that sometimes he seems silent.

Anw, i hope to update the blog soon! Got to go for training now .

Love joan :D

These 2 weeks have been quite hectic, especially the past few days, due to heavy swimming training, including this morning. I want to thank God for sustaining me and my friends throughout the trainings and for swimming 60 laps in one session which was a record for us. I pray for God's guidance to be with us as we continue to work towards the nationals next year. 

I want to thank God for the successful Welcome to the Trinity Family Session that I had on the last day of May. I managed to meet my old primary school friend there and kept her company. We talked about God and our lives. I thank God for the surprise opportunity to pray for her and grow stronger in our faith. I thank God for the 4 dynamic speakers during the Welcome to the Trinity Family session too. I feel that we all have the potential to grow and become stronger leaders for God and our people! 

I also want to thank God for the successful Famine Camp held last weekend, and for sustaining the campers throughout the 30 hours without food. We did have drinks though. The talks, videos and performances were touching. I want to help the poor in other countries next time. The whole camp made us feel so blessed to be in Singapore, where even the poor in Singapore earn about 10 times that of those in poorer nations. 

To God be the Glory and the Best is yet to be!

Hello

Hiiii everyone! Thanks Joel for creating the blog..it is you right?;D

hmm...oh ya just update all of us about the Life Charity Concert. We're practising everyday except on Saturdays, so we can pray for physical strength. Ya and that we will adopt that spirit of excellence in every opportunity to dance, act or others! Do look forward to a funny and entertaining show^^

Let me share with you the latest verse that I'm memorising;
Proverbs 15:32-33
"He who ignores discipline despises himself
but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.
The fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom
and humility comes before honor."
Lets memorise verses!!! cos its a very good way of being sure of God's word, wherever you go.

oh and remember we shared about letting each other know whats happening to us? okay I shall blog it out..haha!
well, i was stuck at heb 7 for TAWG. but remember bro Titus suggested getting another version to study the word of God together? so I found the 'New American Standard Bible' version and I managed to learn a valuable lesson about God's gift; Jesus!

and..and...songs that have been on my mind recently: the Desert song, This is our God, I will go,..

haha do I sound happy today? Yes I am happy! ahaha...

oh hey do u all want a playlist? I have you know..if you want to see what its like, u can see my blog in the link list.
