Just wanted to share this video with you guys. I know that father's day has just passed not long ago and we all have shown our love for our fathers in our own ways but we don't need father's day to love our fathers right. We can show him how much we love him everyday through our words and acts of love. So start loving your Dad and your Mum too!

Matthew 7:11
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Love,
Leslie >.<
Surprise to see me? I LOVE MY DAD!!!

Hi guys!

It's been awhile! Haha, know that many people are thinking, 'What is this cheryl bok doing? Why no updates one?' Yes yes, I'm updating this right now! Haha...

It has really been quite a ride from January till now for most of us, even for all you dear members, I believe you've gone through quite abit this year. With all the different events going on, different responsibilities you all carry, with all the constant chastening and all, I'm soooo proud to see all of you at where you are today :) Like Jj whose refreshment last week was AWESOMELY DELICIOUS! Like Yuenleng's fashion sense now is WOOOOOOTS, like Jiajun now who has together with Madeline launched the clothing line which really sell DOPE stuff, like Yinghua who has finally taught other members how to do nice song sheets!!! Like Leslie who acted in our Easter Drama!!!!!! Hahaha, like Jonathan + Kenny who got into choir auditions and is now on stage every Sunday serving fervently! Like Andrew, which was his 1 year anniversay in church on Easter Weekend. Hahaha.. Like Huixian, who has stepped into the working line coming to 2 years now! Like Rowena, who has been looking better and better each week! :D Haha and not forgetting the rest, who have your individual breakthroughs that are worth appluading!

Each one of you, who is reading this right now. You have a destiny in you. You have a destiny so strong and big that you might not even be able to see it now, but I'm sure if you keep pressing in and seeking the purpose of God, you will see it in no time. But many people may think, 'Cheryl, I don't think I've a destiny leh... I can't seem to find any talent or gifts that can help me to propel to my destiny.' At the position at where you are now, the things that you're doing, or I should say, the things that you enjoy doing, or things that you want to do but don't have the faith to... Your desires are not selfish, dont always think that, "I got to do what God wants me to do, the rest of my talents and gifts, I just leave it aside." The best thing you can ever do is to mix your talents and gifts together with what God has called you to do, that is where you're maxed out to your fullest potential!

Even before the day you were formed in your mother's womb, He already knew you. But that doesn't give you a reason to just let your life unfold itself like that, God has done His job to 'unfold' your beautiful eyes, sensitive nose and ears, all the different point of your body. Do you know how many nerves it takes to form your body cells? Do you know how is your brain constructed to form your left and right brain? Do you know how your body system works that it starts replenishemnt from 11pm onwards for certain parts of your body and 2am for other parts?

Christianity is a relationship with God. A relationship takes 2 hands to clap, if only God claps and if you only keep asking God to clap, nothing's gonna work out. If God has done His part, have you done yours?

I'll be preaching about this in CGM in the following week. Stay tune!

Love,
Cheryl

I saw this video on youtube today and thought it would be good to post it here for you guys.

I'm sure most of you are very familar with this song, Mighty To Save by Hillsong. Written by Reuben Morgan. And we also used it before once in our own cell group meeting! Glad that most of you like this song.

But there's more to this song than just a nice rhythm or great guitar playing. It isn't just a song that just fill your ears but it is really one that is able to empower your soul. Here's a little something that I want to share about this song.

Mighty To Save, three very simple words but holds a powerful meaning. In every situations we face in our lives, frustrations we cannot handle, emotional turmoil that we feel in your hearts, sicknesses that comes once in awhile that cripples us, our God is definitely Mighty To Save.

But there is one question that we would ask God, 'Yes Lord, I know that You're Almighty, powerful and strong... But sometimes why do You take so long to appear? Where were You in my weakest times? Where were You when I was scolded by my parents? Where were you when I was lying down on my bed, sick, tired and feeling pain all over? Where were you in the midst of my exams, when I'm feeling so stressed?'

It's never wrong to have thoughts like that, personally I've thoughts like these too once in awhile! I remember there was once I was badly slandered by my brother's friends infront of my family while it was dinner time. Everything was going fine... We were having fun, talking, laughing, eating good food and basically everything was great! Even my brother's friends were enjoying themselves! Until my Dad had to ask me this question, 'So how's your church building coming along? I heard from the news that your that Pastor Kong is building a new church again?'

Once I hear this I knew it, it was time for VOLCANO ERUPTION LIAO. Surely my Mum will start asking, my brother will also start saying about our church being a 'cheat money' church. I knew that there was a battle ahead for me to fight.. And I was afraid. I was so afraid. Because my brother's friends are around and I cannot afford to raise my voice or try to be too self-centred. I had to learn how to handle it well, but I didn't know how!

I asked God to please show up. Please make my parents STOP talking about it. But.. God didn't show up.

In the end, I was totally slammed by every single one sitting at the dinner table. Including my brother's 2 friends. They were saying really nasty things like, 'Why are you attending a church like that?', 'Why is your church so commercialized?', 'Why Pst Kong nowadays look like Ah Beng ah??', 'How much are you giving to the church?'... and the list goes on. It was just so heart piercing and hurtful to see my own parents embarrassing me infront of outsiders.

I remember.... I goggled down my food and faster go into the kitchen. I had to admit, I had no courage, I had no boldness, I didn't know what to do or say. I was suddenly dumbfounded. The worst thing is, my Mum came into the kitchen and saw tears in my eyes. Instead of comforting me, she said, 'Aren't we right? Do the church need such a big and grand building to worship God? God is everywhere, whether it is an old, small or new, big church, GOD IS EVERYWHERE.'

That was the ultimate.. I couldn't understand why was this happening.. In my weakest times, she still had to rub the salt into the wound.

That night, everyone knew that I cried. My Dad, Mum, Brother and 2 of his friends. But none of them came to apologize, none of them came to explain themselves, none of them came to tell me that hey, it's alright. We were just talking casually about it just now. I only had myself to face. Myself and God.

I remember that night when I showered, I stayed so long in the washroom.. I just kept crying and crying. Hitting myself for being so useless.. Asking God why is this happening.. Where is He?

WHERE ARE YOU, GOD?



The reason why I remember every detail so clearly is because it was one of those incidents that I was very hurt. And I felt so slammed in the face by my own Dad and Mum. Well, I am not blaming them because I know that, in these times, we'd surely go through trials and tribulations.

Yet I ask myself again... But why didn't God show up that night?

I slowly found the answer to my own question, and it is very simple.

It is because I found my strength through my weakness.
I found my courage through my fear.
I found my boldness through my insecurities after what happened.

God is not just a God who provides you with answers, but He is a God that provides you with solutions.

So what if God appeared that night? So what if my parents stopped talking about it that night? Would it make me stronger? Would it make me bolder?

No it doesn't.. My dear friends, God does things with a foresight in mind. He sees the future, He doesn't see the present. He is not a short-term God, He is a long-term God.

Sometimes I look back and ask myself, How have I become so strong? Even until now when my parents persecute or scold me, why do I not get upset over it like the past?

Because my God is Mighty To Save. He doesn't just answer... He Saves!



Ask yourself today, which situations in your life.. or anything that you would like to overcome/change/come up to the next level? Look up and seek God my friends, for He will never fail you.

Love,
SC

If the hero never comes to you
If you need someone you're feeling blue
If you're away from love and you're alone
If you call your friends and nobody's home
You can run away but you can't hide
Through a storm and through a lonely night
Then I show you there's a destiny
The best things in life
They're free

Chorus:

But if you wanna cry
Cry on my shoulder
If you need someone who cares for you
If you're feeling sad your heart gets colder
Yes I show you what real love can do

If your sky is grey oh let me know
There's a place in heaven where we'll go
If heaven is a million years away
Oh just call me and I make your day
When the nights are getting cold and blue
When the days are getting hard for you
I will always stay here by your side
I promise you I'll never hide

What real love can do
What love can do
What real love can do
What love can do
What real love can do
What love can do


Be an encourager, a brother, a sister, a listening ear.

Remember,
"Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me

Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations"

Yours Truly,
SC

Loving God is like putting your heart in an unknown island that exist in a precious treasure chest.

You never know whats is gonna happen next, you just know you live in a precious treasure chest that His hands so big and warm is holding it so tightly.

Just for you.
