In NUS now...

While waiting for Ken, I decided to blog...

Today had svc, was serving... Then went for blood donation and then fellowship with the cg before coming to NUS to find Ken... Then later going for dinner with Ken's family...

Had great fun fellowshipping at BK at raffles city... On the way down, we kept talking abt u in diff cg le, u shld go and sit somewhere else that kind of jokes, etc... I feel it's good to like prepare ourselves for the change... But I feel somehow that the cg is closer now... It's feels like 6 more days, let's spend more time together... I cant bear to part with u.. I didnt know that i needed this person in the cg so much... I didnt expect this bro or sis to be in a diff cg from me... All the true colors start coming out... Suddenly everyone becomes so appreciative... Hahaha... Agree rite? Who booked seats for u? Huh? huh? Hahaha...

Yep, but just thought of sharing this... In the new cg, whether still under Ken or nt... It's a new CG altogether. We need to learn to work within our new cg... Support the CGL and run the vision that he/she has for the new cg... Whatever prejudice or misunderstandings against anyone, throw it away... In the new cg, it'll be a new start. Dun go to the new cg with the same mindset. Looking the replacement best fren, etc. God will bring you into a new envt. A new group of friends who will run another leg of the race with you. So dun keep looking back and get stuck in where u are today... Move on cos the things which God is going to do in your life is going to be so exciting, so so so exciting... Yep... So let's pack up our feelings... And gear up to a new start, Amen? Let's be good members, supporting our cgl and not just that... All of us shld aim to become good helpers... Best helper in the cg... Amen? :) LEt's work towards it together...

Khen Theen, Jelaine, Selena, Joseph, Edwin Chen, Gerald Wu, Morgan, Shaun, Jean, Kevin, Wanyun, Laiyin, Gerald Tay, Jav, Rick, Shen... Even as Ken started to take this cg, it was not easy at first as some of the ppl dunno who he was!!! Hahaha... But things have changed, as Ken takes up ownership of the cg and plan and pray and led this group for the past 3 years, our lives have been changed during this process... Ok ok, enough of reminiscing the past... Here we go...

Multiplied Finally...

Yep yep... After almost 3 years of being together, we finally multiplied... There's a happy and sad feeling to it... But it's for growth... Looking back at the time when I was multiplied into E198 til now. Things are no longer the same... And I am no longer the same. The closest friends I have now are still those from E198... In W302 for the past 3 years, working with Ken to take care, mould, inspire and challenge all the different ones... Lives being changed and ppl doing great things for God. Life is exciting...

In this new group, things will no longer be the same... I have once again step out of my comfort zone to touch lives once again... And this is going to get uncomfortable.... But this is how God is going to increase my capacity... During the past week, it's been like a roller coaster week... I sent my files in for partner to review and then i took leave on wed to celebrate my bday and then on thurs, i didnt sleep in order to rush work out... Cont working on fri n then went for the multiplication cg part 1... at the end of the day, when ken announced which cg each person was in... I was ok, cos i already know where i'll be... hahaha... i knew i'll stay with Ken la... Yep... But this doesnt mean that life will be cruising from now on... It's time to once again arise and put my hand to the plough... With my increased workload in office, increased responsibility in nursery and my family, as my sis goes into Uni next yr in jul... Things will not be as simple as it seems... I can just see the things which are coming... And not forgetting the building fund which is coming in 5 weeks!!! Wow wow wow!!! Time is really no enough... Went out with Shen, yun n jean after cg last nite... a gd time of catching up and fellowshipping... Had fun... these are the ones who have gone thru my tough times in uni with me... growing stronger in the Lord together as we go for GOTP together... Now, everyone's in a different cg, but when we meet together, it's so nostalgia... hahaha... everyone's moving into a diff phase, as the guys are going to grad next year... who knows what life will be aft that... and even aft we get married and stuff, will we still be best of friends? No one knows the future, in my part, i can only keep my dearest friends in prayers...

was thinking who was my best friend in the cg... it wasnt easy to decide... I admit that in this cg, i didnt really commit myself to touch lives... Even as I look back, everyone in the cg saw me as boss' gf... It was easy to gain respect cos of Ken... But I wanted ppl to see me as me... A position that's mine... not on 'borrowed respect' and i threw myself to my ministry... Availing myself, taking up more responsibilities upon myself... Indeed God is good, I was promoted as the svc IC during the year... And I see myself as a 'cgl' over my members and my team ICs are like the core helpers... I always try to impart things which I learnt in cg, from Ken n aunty to them...

Now, even as I step into the new cg... I know that i need to touch lives in my cg as well as this is where God has planted me. No doubt that I still need to work n take care of my helpers in nursery and my family... But I just know that I need to press on, trust God more. As I look back at the end of next year. I know that my God is with me and the things which He has enabled me to do will be much much more than whatever i can achieve now. I need to be super efficient as the peak is coming... I need to be super duper efficient if i want to serve God during my spare time... I want to be known as Huiqin in the cg, not ken's gf... not that i am not proud of being his gf, but i want a name for myself... haiz, dunno if I'm getting across...

In the past few years, so many ppl have come to joined us and many have left us as well... Not wanting to run this vision together, unwilling to change and all sorts of reasons... At this point of time, even as I stop to evaluate myself, i thank God for the friendships I have made here... Ppl I can trust, depend on and always there to support me. and not forgetting some siao kias who are willing to do things which a person in a normal state of mind will nvr do... Hahaha... The sleepless nites which we had cos my my bright ideas, supper, sending ppl off at the airport... Hahaha... Wanted to type a msg for everyone... Hmmm... Maybe in my next post, this post a bit long le... Hahaha... Yep, maybe after i publish this post, i'll click new post again... Hee... So bye n come back n read the next post ya? It's dedicated to ppl in W302... Yeah...

So blessed...

Had 2 more celebrations since the last time I blogged... My cg and the nursery leaders celebrated for me last sun... Was just thinking if I did not become a Christian back then, what would my life be like? My bday will be celebrated by my family only... And I wouldnt have all these friends ard me now...

So really blessed by what my friends have done for me. Got a new bible, a top, a necklace... Hee... I know the rest are on the way cos I smart ma... Hahaha... No la, I answered someone's call to Ken n something just tells me that she wanted to ask him wat I want... Hahaha...

But looking back, I really thank God for bringing me to where I am today... SO many loving friends who I can depend on and who will keep me company to eternity!!! Hahaha... U dun like the friend next to u??? Change him now!!! Hahaha...

Yep yep... Was on MC yesterday, so slept n slept til 1+... Then somewhat recovered... Accumulated fatigue... Then went for lunch, then went to find dennis n teach him guitar... Not me la, Ken taught... They had fun trying the new worship song... Then we flew down to airport to pick his mom... Then went home for a while before going to miramar for buffet dinner... ate til so bloated... then went home n sleep... Didnt sleep well... Woke up like every hour... Faints... Think too full le, then hot and everything... So tired today... Haiz...

But I think i gaining weight le... Sat nite went for yin's n gerald's wedding dinner, then sun nite went for dinner with the nursery gals n their parnters... Then last nite buffet dinner at miramar... Faints... This coming wed i going out with ken, that's tml... Heh... dunno wat he planned also... Then sat going with my family for dinner and Sun with Ken's family... Wa!!! Sure need to lose weight after that...

But so blessed... My friend was commenting... Wa, u got so many ppl to celebrate ur bday for u!!! I was thinking, yep, u be a christian, and u'll have lots of friends to celebrate for u le... Hahaha...

Great day starts with positive confession...

Was so happy last nite... Finished the things which i set out to do. I managed to submit my file for the PIC to review... Then finish typing the stock list for aunty and managed to go find her and pass her the stuff before going for zm at riverwalk... Managed to even eat dinner before that... Haha... And the donuts... Yummy... Kekeke...

And was just thinking back, why was it possible? just in the morn, i literally dragged myself out of bed and then i decide to believe that it'll be a great day, and it was really a great day! God is good!!! He turns things ard...

And during zm last nite, jeremy talked abt the 5 diff kinds of mindset... And I was so excited cos I could identify with the childish mindset... Like trying to siam responsibility? This is one area which I wanna improve on and God is speaking to me abt this at this pt of time... I was so excited... Cos it's like so in line lo... Wow!!!

So I decided i need to do something abt it. Everytime the siam-ing feeling comes, I got to tell myself - Satan get thee behind me!!! Yep yep... Not easy... but i know that God will not give me something which i cannot bear... So I will face it head on from now onwards... God, help me...

Even as I pray for increased capacity, for strength to go through this coming year... I really hope that I will be able to sustain all the things that need to be done. I know that at the end of this period of trials and tests, I'll emerge stronger... As I go through this process, I'll trust God more, my faith in God will increase, my relationship with the ppl supporting me through this time will become stronger and closer as well... I look forward to the result and for now... It's back to the process... Got to work le... Ciaoz...
