Goodbye 2007, Welcome 2008

last day of 2007 was a really joyful day for me!

we had twm gathering at 4pm yesterday.. learn abt wat the banners that the dancers used stand for.. it's a good learning time.. :) we had a prayer time after tt.. was feeling not very good at first.. i cried.. continued to pray n pray.. and towards the end, dancer sarah pass me the banner tt represents joy! it is something i guess i really need and want! :)

continue staying in church for the countdown prayer meet.. finally got a breakthrough in my life! my FIRST TIME going up stage to share in front of many people! (it's an add on to my "first times" in december.. :) ) when rev fucai gave chances for people to go up to share, my mum turned around and look at me, chuan oso ask me to go up.. but i juz dun have the courage.. i juz sat at my place and continue to act as if it is none of my business.. but my heart is jumping fast.. so in end, the 4 of us (chuan, sihui, esther and me) went up together.. haha.. cheri cell gonna fu xin liao!! AMEN!! :)

anyway, i do not know exactly wat to share.. my mind was in a blank.. i wasn't prepared.. but 1 thing for sure is that i will not have nth to share, as there are really really too many things i need to give thanks for.. :) so i started off with after coming back from korea, the change in my life.. and see how god lead me back to the youth.. having good cell leader and cellmates.. and another thing i shared abt is my serving in china ministry.. i really do not know how come i will share abt tt.. but i guess is holy spirit prompting me to.. :) i also shared abt how cheri and my cellmates encouraged me not to give up.. and i quoted something which cheri told me.. "the harder it is, the greater the glory" Amen! i will nv forget this phrase.. :) thank god i went up to share! many people told me, my sharing was good.. :) thank god!

during prayer time, i went in front and kneel down to pray.. the injuries on my knees had not fully recovered after coming back from perak.. i do feel pain when i touch my knees.. but thank god i was able to kneel for quite a long time and i dun feel any pain.. :) i was feeling joyful throughout the whole prayer meet.. and i look forward to a joyful 2008! :p

supposed to go to aaron's house to countdown after prayer meet, but we cant get there in time.. so on our way there, sihui and i called cheri.. since she 千交代，万交代, we MUST CALL her to countdown with her.. haha.. anyway, did nth much there.. was watching tv, playing bridge.. at first i tot it was kind of boring.. i should have juz gone home and have a good sleep.. but remembering rev fucai sharing in the sunday brochure - "一切都是最好的安排！" i thank god i went, so i had a chance to have a short sharing with chuan.. which is wat we actually plan to do when we meet in the afternoon.. haha! and it is also something which i long to do (finding someone to tok to) :)

anyway after tt, they went to mac for breakfast, but i did not go with them as i juz ate yesterday morning.. so i walk all the way from braddell to toa payoh interchange.. i do feel a bit tired and sleepy.. but while walking, i juz look around the surroundings, and many thanksgiving juz came to my mind.. i thank god for the things tt he created, thank god that i'm still able to walk.. thank god for many things.. :) i felt joyful! i also wanna thank god for teaching me to give thanks for anything and everything! :p

Happy birthday Shumin (my beatty junior cum cellmate)!! :p
Happy 2008 to all.. :)
