Hello one and all from Arts Law 2/ fun fresh cell / yenshan's cell / by what other name a rose, i mean a cell is known... :P Yep sorry have not been able to post anything up here due to overload of stff to be done... But thank God, he has seen me through and I'm still fit and fine and coping...

Anyway, just want to post a short testimony of how God has truly been working in my life and also how he has spoken to me in many ways but above all i would like to thank those of you who have kept me in prayer admist all my ridiculous plans and schedules. I remember how Rou'en msged me to tell that she was goin to keep me in prayer while i would meet my hall's sponsors, anyway even though it was postponed then, but ive finally met the sponsors and thank God, everything went well, even though i was fretting that the sponsors would be cross with us being so late and stuff like that, but guess what it turned out well and they are looking into ways that they are able to collaborate with us again!!! Thank God that things went well...

Anyway, i digress... My main point here is that we'll be having our sectional prayer sessions every month from now on and the dates are as follows:

27 May

01 Jul

22 Jul

26 aug

23 sep

28 Oct

25 Nov

The venue is the powerbase, the timing is 5 - 7pm. Let's be there as a cell to engage God's presence and defend our section's legacy and advance the Kingdom's front!!! See ya there then!! :D

LET’S KEEP UP THE FIRES OF PRAYERS!
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. (Romans 12:11-12)

Pray without ceasing (1Th 5:17)

Take care now ppl...

Hello cell,
it's been a long time since i shared something personal with the cell, and i feel that this time i really really should:

During service last night, I was reminded of how selfish i have become. so totally consumed by my workload, by what i have to do, that i've lost sight of everything else. i've become tired of being nice, become weary of listening to others and helping them, become tired of church-going, tired of serving, tired of obeying God. And i've started to see everything as a rule, a 'condition' (or rather, 'conditions') i must fulfill so that God will love me and bless me.

But it really isn't so. God loves me because He knows and He sees the potential in me, my potential in becoming. Instead of condemnation (for all the things i've done wrong and all the things that i'm still doing wrong), it's acceptance. And those 'rules' are not conditions that i have to fulfill to get Him to love me, but the act of obedience comes naturally, out of love itself. Just like how you obey your parents because you love them, not because you need to earn their love. Took me this long to realise that.

I really want to have a passionate heart again. When my love for God died down and when i got confused and doubtful regarding Him, everything else started to crumble as well. Especially my relationships with others... it's all on the rocks, some have already suffered major blows and now it's all these estranged relationships that i don't know how to and when to recover.

And i've been so myopic. i didnt cry just because i was stressed out to the max. Rather, i was so ashamed of myself. and that's why. Missions convention? What went through my mind initially was 'oh, the church wants to collect money again'. i've been so self-centred, all i could see was how i'm gonna pay my debt upon graduation, how i'm gonna finish my essays and films in time, how i'm gonna find time to watch movies and plays, how i'm gonna find the money to watch plays, how i'm gonna celebrate my 21st birthday...

But really, there's so much more if i can look beyond my own circumstances, cause in Him there's really way more than just going about my daily mundane routines. I'm not saying that He's not interested in what i have to do--He will offer comfort, He will guide me, He will bless me in my studies, but there's something greater than all of these, something inherently more important that we're all being moulded for. I want to rescue those girls too. And who knows, God might just be able to use us, to help them...

I pray for each and everyone of you reading this, that God Himself will carry you through your tough times. that He will stretch His hands towards you, and hold you, guide you, comfort you, strengthen you. And sometimes we don't even know it's Him, or that He's there.

But He's always been there.
He's always been faithful.
