♥saturday's cell | Thursday, August 28, 2008
Hey girls,
as u all know, there's going to be a pot luck this coming saturday.
our group has been assigned to do sausages!
what i suggest is:
let's all do some each.
cut the sausages into 3 parts (easier to eat)
prepare for around 20 people.
(but not altogether 20 sausages because we all know people tend to eat more than 1 sausages, esp some people in the ministry. (; )
let me know what u girls think ok??

helllllloo!
it's midweek!
couple more days to the holidaysss!
maybe it's time for angel to be a tab bit jealous of us?
hahaha.
oh wells.
hope you girls have been coping fine.
here's a little something that might be of some encouragement to you girls.
"God has not promised that our your life will be easy. indeed it may not be. but He has promised to sustain you in your struggles and uphold you with His mighty arm. if you trust Him, He'll empower you to make your way bravely through extraordinary difficulty with faith, hope and love. this trials God permits in your life will lead to His praise and glory,if only you abide in Him. when the lesson has been learnedm when the revelation of God's glory is complete and your soul has been tried and proven, then God will raise Him hand and save you. He will say "no more""
read this in the daily bread on sunday and thought it would speak to you all too.
haha.
alrights then.
need to go work on my project work.
and rmb girls,
whatever you do,
dont forget to give thanks!
love,
ameliaaaaaaa

A Mutual Dependencyby Rick Warren
I mean that I want us to help each other with the faith we have. Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you. Romans 1:12 (NCV)
*** *** *** ***
In authentic Christian fellowship people should experience a mutual dependency. This mutuality is the art of giving and receiving; it’s depending on each other.
The Bible says, “The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part” (1 Corinthians 12:25 MSG).
Mutuality is the heart of fellowship: building reciprocal relationships, sharing responsibilities, and helping each other. Paul said, “I want us to help each other with the faith we have. Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you” (Romans 1:12 NCV).
All of us are more consistent in our faith when others walk with us and encourage us. The Bible commands mutual accountability, mutual encouragement, mutual serving, and mutual honoring.
Over fifty times in the New Testament we’re commanded to do different tasks for “one another” and “each other.” The Bible says, “Make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification” (Romans 14:19 NIV).
You are not responsible for everyone in the body of Christ, but you are responsible to them. God expects you do whatever you can to help them. ehh. quite wow right? i just thought so. like, rmb FOP? talk about relevant man. this is just really cool. and it kinda ties in with jiamin's point too? so yes. this is awesome. and what's going on here, this group, is SO part of God's plan guys. isnt that nice to know? i've been having an okay week. finally started doing some serious work. need to get used to this much of focus and discipline. well, i'll be off now. night. loveyouu, tab You're the reason that i live the reason that i sing with ALL i am. love You Lord.
♥...encouraged... | Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Hey gals...im so encouraged to see all of u bloggin here...i think this blog does indeed keep us connected to 1 another in a way...
How have all of u been?
Last week was not a easy week for me...but aft Sunday's sermon, i was refreshed and inspired to have a better week.
U noe i was watching Oprah...and there was this Pastor who started a movement in his church.
He bought wrist bands for his congregation that said "A complain free world".
So the congregation had to wear the wrist band and not complain a single bit for 21 days...but if they complained in between, they were to switch the band to the other hand and start all over...
I thought tt was interesting...cuz its real to us! We do complain a whole lot!
So instead of complaining, let us all focus on the positive and gd things God has given us...And if our situation is bad, stop sitting on our butts, get up and do something abt it....haha.
love,angel :)
♥sisters in Christ | Tuesday, August 19, 2008
hey gals,
looks like everyone had, or is still having a tough week.
but im very encouraged that we're all here for each other. and we all agree that we are together in the same cell group not to keep track of our own spiritual lives but to build each other up too.
it's really great to have such a cell group, isnt it? knowing that there'll be sisters in Christ who are always there to listen to our troubles and pray for us, sharing our burdens and never cease to encourage.
i think God is really pleased with us! (:
so no matter how hard the week is, remember that God is always there.. and u've got this cell group to rely on.
amelia, u may not know it but God really taught me a lesson yesterday when praying for u - trusting in His spirit to move in the prayer and sharing the burden of a dear sister. glad u're feeling alright now! (:
let's all trust God is this tough week ahead!
love,
`jiamin
♥ | Monday, August 18, 2008
hey girls.
thanks for today.
really.
it wouldnt have been the same without you all(:
im pretty much fine now.
yup.
read the daily bread today and it talked about church and how eager some people are to go to church.
"a good indicator of our spiritual temperature is our eagerness to worship God"
so yea.
i think we should all be thankful that we get to go to church sunday after sunday alrights?
dont know how else to elaborate on this but yea.
annette,
if you're reading this,
im glad you came today.
keep working at it.
God knows your heart(:
anyway, you know,
today, when sat through the service and even after service, i was reminded about how refreshed i was at the end of it.
it's that peace that God put in me, that God puts aside our differences and bring us tt sense of joy when we step into His house and mingle with His people.
get my point?
haha
yea.
i always look forward to attending church service to be fed by God(:
oh and tab,
i havent really said it,
but thanks for sharing ur testimony on saturday.
it did speak to me and im really encouraged by your love for God.

WEEKENDS ARE COMING!!!
HAHAHAHA(:
oh.

to TRUST.
i know that God's plans for me are the best and i couldnt have asked for more(:

Life Together: A Shared Life by Rick Warren
How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God’s people to live together in harmony! Psalms 133:1 (TEV)
*** *** *** ***
God intends for us to experience life together. The Bible calls this shared experience fellowship.
Today, however, the word has lost most of its biblical meaning. Fellowship now usually refers to casual conversation, socializing, food, and fun.
The question, “Where do you fellowship?” means “Where do you attend church?” “Stay after for fellowship” usually means “Wait for refreshments.”
Real fellowship is so much more than just showing up at services. It is experiencing life together. It includes unselfish loving, honest sharing, practical serving, sacrificial giving, sympathetic comforting, and all the other “one another” commands found in the New Testament.
When it comes to fellowship, size matters: smaller is better. You can worship with a crowd, but you can’t fellowship with one.
Once a group becomes larger than about ten people, someone stops participating—usually the quietest person—and a few people will dominate the group.
Jesus ministered in the context of a small group of disciples. He could have chosen more, but he knew twelve is about the maximum size you can have in a small group if everyone is to participate.
The body of Christ, like your own body, is really a collection of many small cells. The life of the body of Christ, like your body, is contained in the cells.
For this reason, every Christian needs to be involved in a small group within their church, whether is it a home fellowship group, a Sunday school class, or a Bible study. This is where real community takes place, not in the big gatherings.
If you think of your church as a ship, the small groups are the lifeboats attached to it. God has made an incredible promise about small groups of believers: “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst” (Matthew 18:20 NASB). that was my devotional for tonight. it spoke to me. cos it made sense and i just wanted to share it. night. love, tab.
hey guys, so here's this week's (a) thanksgivings and (b) prayer requests. please update as they come up and also put them up if you weren't at cell on the 16th. thanks!

♥I miss u gals... | Wednesday, August 6, 2008
Hey gals...how are all of u? Since FOP, i have not really spoken to each of u...this saturday there will not be cell,bcuz of National Day...
Juz a quick update, I was sick today, took a day of MC. So i had a whole day of rest, haha.
Anyway, how was FOP for all of u???
I thought it was a true blessing...everything to the sermon i felt God teaching me, and giving me answers that i needed...
Wanna encourage all of u...to hang in there this week, no matter how bz or tough our days get...lets spend that time for our God. He deserves that time from us...
Without God, we wont be able to pull thru this week...so lets give thanks for having such a great God!!!
Juz like amelia posted, i was doin my QT with daily bread yest, this spoke to me : An honest talk with God is the first step in finding peace of mind.
For those of u, who are struggling with ur walk with God, i strongly recommend the psalms. It helps us see things in perspective, Juz like the sermon in FOP, switches us fr the negative emotions channel to positive emotion channel!
Any prayer requests from u guys? Since no one really posted, let me start k?
Do pray for my health...
And also i wanna give thanks for the worship meeting, i think for this ministry it is slowly moving, we have taken the 1st step as a ministry...continue to pray for us.
♥ | Tuesday, August 5, 2008
hey girls.
whee!
more posts!
im sick!
went to the doctor's today.
head feels really heavy and all.
guess i need more sleep.
anyway,
just wanted to share sumtg from the daily bread again.
"do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow?
tell it to 'Jesus, tell it to Jesus;
are you anxious what shall be tomorrow?
tell it to Jesus alone-rankin"
"an honest talk with God is the first step in finding peace of mind"
i think this is quite true
go ponder about it.
hang in there everyone!
the long weekends are coming!!
love,
amelia
p.s
someone shld post prayer requests!
hello people
just want to share some good and bad news
good news is that i passed my physics (!!!!!!!!!!!!) and ss (!!!!!) tests!
but bad news is that i failed my geog test very very terribly with 3.5/15
well i have to buck up and please pray for me that i'll start to focus more on my studies already cos i'm still lazing and fooling around all day and stuff
and fop was great!! :)
take care all!
may-en
hey girls
im really encouraged that all of u are making the effort to blog, and i think what amelia said is right. let us keep on encouraging and account for each other. and this blog is a great platform for us to do so!
today is tuesday and im still idling around, to the extent that im playing neopets (can u believe it). school started for most of my frens cos they are in all other uni-s except NUS. it's quite difficult to be in a new environment and u know ur frens are not there. yup, so school starts next week. yet im still waiting for my lessons to be confirmed. it's in this state of uncertainty where im still just waiting and waiting.
the only thing im looking forward to is my driving test this thursday. it's at 8 in the morning (so early!) and i really really desperately want to pass. and i've got to rmb that it's God strength not mine. so pls pray for me. if i pass, i promise i'll take u girls for a ride (: argh!! so so scary!!
anyway at the end of the day, we all believe that God is in charge of our lives and we just have to live our life the way He wants us to. and God is so good to us that even if the people around us decides to forsake and leave us, God will still love and care for us. According to pastor's sermon on sunday, He is the alpha and the omega, His love for us will never ever change and let's all be encouraged by this! (:
- jiamin
YAY, i'm in! i actually forgot the username and had to go through my chatlogs. lucky i didn't have to dig too long. anyway, this line has been echoing in my head for quite some time, i think it's about time i put it down somewhere.
"only when God is all we have left that we realise that God is all we need."
it speaks volumes. and the scary part is i think God wants me to learn this. haven't been able to talk to y'all lately, but i've been so far from God. so far that i really don't feel like i'm a christian. it's so hard to struggle with being one when i'm constantly surround by non-christians, or christians who only call themselves christians. kinda like what i am now.
basically, it's been hard, living without a purpose and doing things only because time doesn't stop for me. i've been sleeping like past three every night lately, and it's really, really tiring. to make it worse, the people i've come to be very reliant on seem to be drifting from me, or mia-ing all the time, or have some disagreement with me.
so yeah, it's been very, very hard. please pray for me! haha. this post sounds so emo, cause i don't know how else/where else to get it out. even my own blog feels invaded, cause it's those people that i just mentioned are reading it.
it's three, and i'm still rushing a project that's due tomorrow!
tired,
annette.
♥ | Monday, August 4, 2008
hey girls!
the weekends are over and it's a new week!
hope you all arent having monday blues.
im down with a bit of flu.
boo.
anyway,
how did you guys find FOP?
i enjoyed myself a lot
and i thank God for the refreshing time that He gave me.
think the sermon spoke to me quite a bit as well,
about how we are responsible to others, but we must be responsible for our own actions.
and at the end of the day,
the only thing that we can control in our lives is ourselves.
but not forgetting that God is in control of everthing.
anyway,
was reading today's daily bread and it kinda spoke to me too.
it talked about.. okay. i shall quote it
"are you feeling a bit panicky about events in your life? maybe it seems as if you're surrounded by the open waters of relationship problems, or money woes, or simply an inability to put your life in order. perhaps you feel as if u're drowning in a sea of trials and trouble."
"REST YOUR FEET ON THE ONLY SOLID FOUNDATION IN LIFE:JESUS CHRIST" 1 cor 3:11
"God often meets our deepest need
with help we gain from others
from caring members of His church-
our sisters and our brothers
-BROWN"
i hope we can continue to be accountable to each others in other areas in our lives.
hang in there girls!
the weekends are coming soon!
(u must believe it then it'll come real quickly!)
loving you all always,
amelia!
