Lifegroup was awesome ! We had it at Wanxin's house . The first thing we did was EAT , haha , we we spegatti cooked by Wanxin . Surprisingly edible . :x Anyway , while eating we shared our blessings for the week . Yeah , and I really thank God that I had a lot of rivival in my spiritual life . And that I've realy matured during this holiday . And I've a packed schedule but still I'm able to do everything and always relying on Him for strength and guidence . Anyway , after eating , we played some games . Then after playing games , we filmed some lame stuff , LOL , I think throughout the whole caregroup we filmed more than three times ?! It was all Wenzhen's idea as usual . Than we slack-ed and waited for Jasmine . So when she arrived we went up to Wanxin's spare house to have our teaching . And today's teaching was about , drawing near to God . We must have a delibrate walk with God because just reading His word without applying it then what's the point ? Take it like we learn to speak but we don't talk ? And if we walk close to God , we'll be successful . And in order to take action we must spend everyday with Jesus , when we wake up in the morning we can pray to Him . It doesn't have to be a long prayer but this prayer is just to help you start the day off with Him . We don't have to be some priest or saint to walk close to God , we can be ordinary people living extraordinary lives . No one can stop us from talking/living life with God . We should also spend our quiet time with God daily . Because reading His word is just like spiritual food for our spiritual life to fill our spiritual hunger . QT 1.Pray to God for wisdom and understanding of His word . 2.Read intenly . 3.Think of what the verse is trying to say . 4.Apply what you have learnt . 5.Journal it down . 6.Use what you have learnt to bless people . Like if your friends are feeling discouraged use a verse to encourage them . Why should we walk close to God ? Faith without deed is dead . It is very weird to proclaim that you love God when you don't even know Him . In order to know Him more is to simply read His word , understand His character , love and His will . So we must walk close to God to make what we proclaim valid . And after walking close with Him we'll have spiritual break thorughs . We'll change into better people in terms of - out thoughts , character and lifestyle . On top of that we learn to become more christ-like . And because Jesus is perfect , when we become more like Him we'll grow in our area of weaknesses . If we want to do things to the best of our abilities we must rely on God's strength and not ours' or we'll never succeed . Be led by the holy spirit , always rely on God , we can't live life without God , be more word-centred and grow in the area of the word of God . Tomorrow got NE picnic but not sure if I'm going , PRAY for me so that I can go . Thanks ! XD

The Girl;
I love God,my family,friends & everyone else .
I'm currently serving in the usher ministry .
My shepherd is Chua Wenzhen Joy .
My care group is NEA1 .
I'm trying to learn the guitar .
My cca is drama .
Life Transformation;
Before I knew God , I was a petty,
Impatient,spoiled,ungrateful,unreasonable,ah lian wanna-be.
I had no dreams , no idea where I was heading and no purpose.
But I didn't want to be alive for no reason.
I've always thought that I was useless.
It would have been better that I wasn't alive.
But I didn't want to die just yet.
Because I knew that life was precious.
I continued to search for meaning,purpose and reasons.
And last christmas I was invited to Yhope.
I grew up in a catholic school.
I knew God then but I never had a relationship with Him.
At that time , my results were already out and my school was already chosen.
I was going to Deyi.
At first I wasn't really committed to God.
And I had some parental objection.
But Wenzhen was assigned to be my shepherd.
She helped me to overcome my objection and she encouraged me to be more committed.
And she never gave up on me , she is one of the reasons why I've changed so much.
Yes she's naggy but it's really great to have a shepherd like her.
And I thought of it , somehow everything linked.
I never studied for PSLE but I got 220.
I was never accepted in Holy Innocent.
But in Deyi.
My god sister asked me to come but she never made it in.
At first it was hard.
But I got used to it.
Everything made sense to me.
Why I scored how much I scored.
Why I came Deyi.
Why my mother allowed me to go out that day.
If I hadn't gone out with my friends.
I would have never met Hui Xuan,Chantel or Grace they all.
I would have not converted.
And I wouldn't have what I have today.
Deuteronomy 4:29
But if from there you
Seek the LORD your God,
You will find him if you
Look for Him with all your heart
And will all your soul.
I searched for God.
And He made a way for me.
He had a better plan for me.
It was just the beginning of a new found life.
I want to dedicate this blog to God.
All of you who hasn't known God yet.
I really encourage you to do so.
It will really be the best decision you ever make.
He will never leave nor forsake you.
He will never short change you.
He will never fail you.
Psalm 118:1
Give thanks to the Lord,
for He is good;
His Love endures forever.
