my bro, my 3 cousins, me.
this year's cny was really made special because of this, this is the first time in my life im going out with my cousins to the movie haha! and thats mainly because God has called all of us into His family! yep! all 5 of us are childrens of God! its amazing hw God can work in our families! =)

some background history: all of them were in Y-Hope once!! nw one is in t-hope leading ppl, the other 2 are in other churches.
i really long for one day where my chinese new year gathering, would be relatives sharing of testimonies and how good God is! will be done by the grace of God! AMEN!


and we had really cool things going on in ED as well, we managed to hit 3 rows for ED1 for a few wks(not counting last wk). yay!

and there is our cny party!! haha there is too much pictures etc to post about.. so haha look to east blog for more details on the photos =x the wholy party was fun! drama, games etc. was really enjoyable! thank God for denise and her team! yeah!


share something really cool here
me and qin decide to just go look for my sheep in the midst of muggng and pass him a postcard and a drink cos tis wk nt able to meet him. but couldnt find him at all cos we were intending to pass him the stuffs before his cca start which is after sch at arnd 1.15pm. cant find on the phone, no replies to sms=x so.. after waiting for awhile we decide to go for lunch first arnd tt area so if anytime he replies we can meet him right away outside his sch. so arnd 2.20pm+ we finished our lunch and were outside his sch again haha. still no replies yet, so we tried to go into the sch but the security guard don't allow.

so we were really left with nth else to try. then qin suggested to wait for 5 more mins and we see how. we agreed on that and went to sit down and wait. i timed the 5 mins, and we were really praying hard that he might appear suddenly or smth lidat. thats what me and qin expected haha, for my sheep to suddenly run out of the sch gate or smth so we can pass him the stuffs. then i looked at the time.. left with 4mins.. 3mins.. 2mins.. 1min.. still nth happened. then we were left about 15 seconds. i started counting down.. 14.. 13.. 12.. 11.. then yiqin's phone suddenly had sms! my sheep replied on wad he was busy with after sch and agreed to meet with us after his class meeting ends! and we managed to pass to him the postcards and drink=) yeah!

right up til the last 10 seconds, i believe both of us still believed God would do smth. indeed God did it! praise God for that! perseverance with God does indeed bring about crazy results. yep=)

revival of east blog!

Have God blessed your group in any way since the start of CG08?! if yes, please post those testimonies up on east blog!! especially those recent ones! at the same time, i would submit those to my ministry leader as well. and there is a chance that you will be able to bless other groups in the church other than our own district!! as ur testimony may get chosen to be on the weekly bulletin! on the section of testimonies etc. or even going up on stage to share about God's blessings in ur life!

God has given us blessings so that we can share about them. feel the urge to share ur testimonies on east blog now? DUN HESITATE! haha get me on my msn or by email so that i would be able to post your testimony up! for this wk i would be the one to post this testimonies. after this week there will be other people frm your own group posting them up=)

Any testimonies that is able to inspire others can be sent in!(there are no blessings which is never inspiring tho! no matter hw small it may seem!)

www.wintheeast.blogspot.com ----- this is east blog's link.

do take a look at www.y-hope.blogspot.com as well. there's a testimonies section which not everyone knows about!

Proverbs 11:25
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

this is one of the ways that God can bless u in. trust God for that!=) lets claim blessings from God like never before! starting from sharing God's goodness=D

lead like Jesus

yoyoyo! haha. am reading this book that i got for my birthday(thanks again! haha=P i realli love it alot! haha) its called "Lead Like Jesus" its really a great book and i realli enjoy it alot and learned alot from it alot as well. bt i haven been reading it consistently =x and so i've decided to read it daily, even if its just abit haha so i would learn something new on how to lead Like Jesus. and share about what i learn here as well.

firstly, this book as its title teaches us how to lead(like duh!). Leading ourselves, our people, people around us and our family.

What is a leader?
-Anyone who has certain influences over someone's life.

basically this book teaches us hw to lead everything that i've named above like how Jesus does it.

And now. i shall share abit on what i've learned from reading the book for around 1hour i think.

Personal Leadership
Effective leadership starts from the inside. And so it starts from knowing ourselves better.
Two critical questions asked:
Whose am I?
Some questions you can ask yourself
-Why we do the things we do? And who do we do it for?

Who am I?
Some questions you can ask yourself
-What is our life purpose? or rather what has God called us to do / fulfill? And to what extent do we live a life that God wants us to live the most.

there are alot of examples given in the book on how Jesus or His disciples did personal leadership. shall share just one of them on Paul(previously Saul) met Jesus on the road to Damascus(Acts 9:5) was blinded etc. he knew who Jesus was and decided to follow Him, he knew God's word well as he was educated as a teacher and lawyer in Jerusalem. though he made a commitment but it did not mean that Paul was ready to minister to God's people yet. so he went away to spend time with God and fixing his thoughts with what he experienced of God.

after that Paul was readied and fully surrendered to God and His plans for Paul. Paul was then able to bring God's word alive in his life as he obeyed what he knew of God's word.


And so the practical point for me:
-Take some time out to spend time with God. make sure of my purpose and direction in life, and what God has called me to do. and apply it to the way i do things.
-Be more conscious of how i live my life. evaluating it. so that it would become a life that slowly transforms into the life that God wants me to live.

if today you feel somewhat disconnected from God, maybe you have not been exactly living a life that God wants you to live. one that is lived out based on what God's word says=)


praise God for some new insights He's given to me! as i was one of those that felt somewhat disconnected from God. and without realising it, i wasnt living a life that was fully according to God's will! by God's grace, we will be able to live a life that is more and more according to God's will and word!


Living life according to the way God wants it to be is a choice. and not everytime its an easy choice, the hard ones are the ones that helps us to grow more. and so i want to make more hard decisions for God=) jiayou everyone! in the harvest period, a growth is definitely needed to contain the harvest!

[God is moving like crazy everywhere in East and throughout the world.]
