Hi guys!
A very Happy Happy New Year to every single one of you out there! :)
I'm sure 2007 has been such an adventurous year for all of us, even for myself. It has been a year of many ups and downs, many victories and defeats and many joy and tears.
BUT, it was still an awesome year I had with all you guys! I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.. Haha. Just want to pen down some heartfelt words I need to say to all of you.
2007 has really been a hard year for me, but why was it still so made perfect is really because of each individual I've met in the CGs. All of you gave me the love and support I needed to keep on moving forth in not just my ministry, but also my walk with God and most of all, my life. I know that I do not spend that much time fellowshipping with all of you, especially after services in church. And that is why every cgm is so very important to me to have all of you present, so I can spend some time with you guys. I hope you understand that sometimes its really hard to get away because of meetings and all that after service. But I want you to know, each and every one of you are deeply treasured by me. I'm not sure if all of you reads this CG blog, but I hope you will feel the depth of my love for you guys as I type these out.
Jiajun: Thanks for being such an incredible person. You've been with me wherever I go, and have never let go although you face the toughest times. If not for you, W368 wouldn't have existed. It is because you bothered, you cared and you did what was right before God. I know the struggles you face sometimes, and it is not that easy to go through this walk. But, this walk will always be narrow, this walk will always lead you to the path you need to be. Continue this walk, He will see your faithfulness. Life has been made great with you around, keep on keeping on! :)
Meiling: Thanks for being who you are. Its has been a pleasure to know, befriend, love and lead you. You were one of those people who went through with me when we were still in W298, we survived it together with Jiajun and Jeryee. :) And I'm very proud of you. I know its has also been a hard year for you, but I pray you will strive to greater heights. Always bear in mind my words, keep on seeking Him, and you'll surely find. Excel in your studies, this is the best time for you to soar. Be brave, dont just fly, SOAR.
Jeryee: Thanks for being such a pillar of strength. Haha, seem surprising to you eh? Well, you were and still is a pillar of strength to me because whenever I see you, I am always inspired to move forth. You give me a sense of assurance that you will never leave God because of the love you have for Him. I know, at times you may feel dry, or even tired. But you still made the efforts to come, to love God. Especially when lately you've been more committed and begin to help out more in the CG, it warms my heart to see how you've changed and I'm very very proud of you. Continue to make a difference in another person's life, its also time for a better and larger change in your life this year, I believe it is your year of breakthroughs.
