been a real long and tiring day. which extends from monday till now. had like alvin and luke who came over to sajc to crash. at least there's something good out of it, we got to know more contacts. wanted to like pay a visit to YJC after school, but apparently i stepped on mud and like got a brown polka-dotted pants. so we went down to plaza singapura.

guess who we saw there!? my sheep!! its very encouraging to see my sheep and how he explains to us the different people he met and how it's tough for him to reach out to them. i tell ya he's grown in Christ. really grown, yeah like seeing your own child grow up lah. real encouraging. sat around cafe cartel and like talked about, God. shared with each other what we learnt during quiet time and stuff. such sharing which you can never get elsewhere. i mean face it, everytime Christ isnt in the center of a conversation, more often than not, it turns towards gossip after all that's meant to be said, has been said.

went down to sheep's place after that to collect the guitar and had some praise and worship. then proceeded after we picked up Gideon to.. prata house again. this time there wasnt much sharing. and kinda caused a war at home when i told my parents that i'd be staying over. yes it was surely tempting to get angry. after all, i dont just like stay over coz i have nothing to do. im staying over at my shepherd's place with the intention to learn something new for God. but then again, it wont be easy to explain that to them. for i can be expecting like, "why cant teach over the phone?"

talked it through and thought it be wise if i didnt stay over, even though my parents kinda 'allow' me to. called back home, and bought my sis a prata. went back and it seemed that my parents werent that mad, and it seemed like Gideon has something really impt to tell me, so i went over to stay.

apparently we were all too sleepy and didnt get to share anything at all. well yeah okay. woke up and proceeded to church, for metamorphosis. it was mainly for new believers. well yeah okay, it was almost solely for new believers. and the teaching was about spending quiet time with God, of which i have attended and know quite some time back already. but still there's always a pointer or two to pick up. then we had this amazing race thing all around orchard. its fun definitely, and best part is that behind it all, its all about the core elements to a caregroup.

had a fun time during lunch break playing that table soccer machine put up at the starhub foodcourt. yup its like, center of fellowship there!

had priscilla teaching about holy spirit baptism again. and kinda like her sermon stand broke halfway, so gentleman me lended a helping hand. haha and apparently i was wearing the sajc pe shirt (i stayed over what), so it looked quite glamorous on the screen. haha okay wadeva.

its truely amazing, to see how God gives when we ask, and when we desire. and what more? when we desire His holy presence. the whole church was filled with the presence of God once more as people we Holy Spirit baptised and broke out in tongues. the very presence of God that is so strong that moves and opens even the most hardened hearts to tears. yes God is with us. and i love it just so when i know that He is apart of me.

went down to meet melcher at serangoon to collect soccer shoes for my contact tml. yilyn came down from her block to join us. so we talked abit and i taught abit here and there. so yeah glad he made the effort all the way down for erm, God's kingdom! yes yes. okay thank God for u melcher.

i know at times it gets so spiritually draining. especially when we are so caught up with our shedules and everything, that we just serve and work ourselves out so mentally and spiritually, that we forget that we are humans afterall. do spend time with God too! and be refreshed by Him on a daily basis so that we can like have strength to carry on the next day and also keep our spiritual health in check.
