Gratefulness Overwhelms...

okie apologies to all faithful blog readers [actually busy-bodies whom i love(:]...decided to blog out of a sudden after readin my christmas cards. This is the second year Christmas cards made me tear, the cards that touches me the most are those that came from friends I seldom meet or hang out with. These cards act as a reflection of whom I have become over the year, how God has been so good to me and the many many blessings i just had to sit down and count.

Simple cards from someone-joan. thanking me for leading her to Christ 2 years ago, because that one hour talk, her entire life was changed. it's these people's changed life, that made every effort i make worth it. in view of all these changed eternity, all my hard work, all my tears, all my sleepless nights seem so sweet.

a card that made me tear was Jency's. "friends for life"....this always sounded to cliche, but this time i could feel and be sure that we mean it. after walking me through that 6 months, i know the friends i'll ever need for life. this is the first time in my life i've ever appreciated friendship so much. "God thank you, thank you and thank you for giving me friends i can rely on for the rest of life".

these affirmation made normal things we do seem just so 'outstanding'. and that's the power of these heart felt affirmation. it reminds us that what we have done, someone sees and appreciates, it's not in vain. man....a thought came to mind, if a heart felt affirmation from people touched me this much, a heart felt affirmation from God would melt me inside out.

everyone commented on my growth after coming back from the states, it also made me thank God again and again for bringing me there. for picking me up with his love and grace when i fell, or being my all when i am no one at all, for being faithful all the way faithful when i lost all faith. words cannot fully express this gratefulness i have towards God for this year, it's probably a turning point in my christian life. "you won my heart God..."

6 years ago, i am a nobody, 6 years later, i thought being a shepherd, being a CL, being a UL was somebody, from 2009 onwards, remind me Lord, I am nobody without you....There's so much more I want to know about you,to be like you. 2009 is exciting!...Lead me on....

Fooling around with some weird glasses, I wonder why people would want to buy them.

Eric...oh, I miss this chinese looking french guy. I helped him in this first few weeks, he's annoying most of the times, but I'm missing the annoying work times:(

Oh Roberto..a fierce looking but very sweet Mexican guy. I really miss him too...cried when he left..

This is the last picture of them working 'hard'. I was collecting hangers...they were putting away some random stuff..

This is Roberto and his rented car..cools huh..he drove us home on his last day..oh man,that day was so so sad..

We're pretty lucky to be posted to the same store...

This is the bed i sleep on every sat when i stay over at my pastor's family's place. The stuffed animals are the ones their daughter evangeline put on my bed every sat. she's a very sweet girl. She'll give me different soft toys to sleep with every sat...I love playing with her..

Enoch,Pablo,Tiffany and Sean

This was taken today..updated huh?
It's a Water Baptism at Living Stone Church. it's their first water baptism ceremony..

Sorry it's dark, but it's Jenny being baptised..yeah my co-worker...

it's her at the back..use some eye power to see..(X_X)

Ok, i'm sure u can see this..that's her and Pastor Joseph..

The man in white is a father who just got baptise, it was so touching to see him being water baptised and hearin his story of why he decided to get baptised. His wife just passed away this year march and he didn't become a christian till recently in the water baptism class. His youngest daughter lilian also got baptised today. Cool huh? I will wanna get water baptised with my dad too...

Me and my sister...it was soo sooo touching to see how she was a non-b, bring her to church, see how she grew as a christian, how she got water baptised today, how she confess today to follow Jesus till the rest of her life...
She's leaving in a week's time..With all these in my heart...I started tearing when I hugged her after she got baptised..

and here's the pictures of us crying when we hugged..when we looked into each other's eyes,knowing we'll never see each other again, being so grateful towards each other and thinking about our friendship not only at Disney but also in the Lord...oh gosh, we cried like we're both dying...
sound like we're lesbians huh..hahaha but it's the friendship we had for each other. well..I don't know why but my friends at church insisted to take a picture of us crying...

it's hard to leave her, she's the only one that made me cried so hard..Well..she find me a blessing to bring her to church and help her grow, but I guess she had to know she's a blessing from God to me too. Seeing her grow and sharing a friendship with her is the greatest joy..

She'll definitely be missed...I hope i'll not cry as bad when she leaves..

Recently..work became very quiet because many of my close friends left. I began to miss home and began to want to go home to where everyone used to be. I finally had my new york trip settled, i'll be there from the 3rd sept to 6th sept. I am excited!!! Also I finally got in contact with the Hope LA people...i'll be visiting them before I come back to Singapore. Exciting too.. i've heard some stories about the youth group there, they need materials in training shepherds and CLS..whee...this kind of things drive me crazy..it makes me want to and have to just do something!!!

There are so many things I want to do before I leave. my last 2 months here..i want to make it a huge blast with God!! come on christine...time to grow!!!....
