Went for missions conference today.
Realised i can't consider church-planting in the next few years.
Cuz i'm deep in debt.
Sigh.
But missions conference today reminded me once again how tiny Sinagapore is. How we should never be contented with what outreaching within Singapore, but should always have a burden for people overseas, and think globally.
I've always admired church-planters. Humble yet noble people they are. To give up their comfortable lifestyles, to adapt to a totally different culture, to be spiritually independent yet totally dependent on God.
I am so utterly humbled when i see their sacrifices and the work they've done.
The last part of the conference was to commission Eelee for Chile. Ps Dinah led the whole church into prayer for her. And i teared. I think many others did too. All whom her life has impacted. At the end of the prayer, Ps Dinah shared a prophetic verse for Eelee. And i teared even more, because i feel that this verse is really apt. Eelee, i pray that you'll cling on to this verse tightly throughout your Chile trip. And as God continue to mold you, may He also bless all the works of your hands.
Romans 12:11-12
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Eelee's Farewell Part II
Yes, it is Eelee's farewell part II. But I believe she has gone through many many farewell sessions already. haha. This time round, it's with members of my first cg! How nostalgic is that! Haha. That was like... 7-8 years ago for me, and longer still for others, cuz i'm the youngest! hahahhaha. I'M THE YOUNGEST. (SIA STOP CALLING ME AUNTIE OKAY? lol.) Okay, anyway, we went to My Secret Garden.
talk. laugh. talk.
this is what i ate.
Crayfish and Scallop Spaghetti in tomato sauce.
The food's pretty good. Cuz i ordered the right thing. LOL. And the Triple Choc MELTS once it touches your tongue. Heard the steak's okay only. But the ambience is fantastic. It's like those kind where couples go and whisper sweet nothings. Feels guilty that we laughed so loudly. Hee.
It's really heartwarming to see us gather together after so many years. Some of us left church and came back. All of us went on to serve in different ministries, as leaders, as musicians, in tertiary and in adults. Yet the fundamentals remained the same, to love God and to love people.
Seng cheong (now David), Jessica (now Jonaphine), Eelee, me, Yizhong.
Growing old with you guys. I'm enjoying it thus far.
Can't wait to see us get married one by one. ;P
