Beautiful Sunday

This is Max, one of the cutest cats I've ever seen.

Worship: A lifestyle that transcends beyond your time spent in church on Sundays, trials, circumstances and moments of despair.

These were the words that struck me most while I sat and listened to the sermon today. It’s not something new that’s unheard of, but I wonder how many times I have actually existed as a beyond Sunday Christian and actually lived my life right and according to God’s standards.Friday’s cell group session was once more amazingly in full attendance. We had a great time having dinner at Sumo Bento before heading to my place for cell. In times like these, I’m like greatly touched by the presence of each and every loving individual of this spiritual family that I’m blessed with. Aww.. We went paperless for the first time, not with a hundred percent success, but then again, there’s a first time to everything!

At times, I wish I REALLY had the space to open up my place for cell group meetings all the way, and not be so restricted by timings (at least have a bigger room that fits my cell, haha).

Eugene, thanks for the nice card, the message and the encouragement!

As I chatted with Kelvin the night before, and with Teck Wee who came over to my house to rehearse, I’m so very reminded that there are plenty of things to focus and rejoice in other than being financially powerful and not having to worry about finances again.

Of course, these things should have never have taken priority in my life at all… but somehow along the way…Heh. Was very encouraged by what a sister (C.N) shared with me on Saturday. Somehow, my worries didn’t seem so big after all.

Following my previous entry, (where I prayed that I’d learn to take things easy)I thank God that I was supremely calm and collected during the preparations for cell and on this Sunday. I’ve learnt to be more relaxed and less tensed up when I have something upcoming, though I am still every bit the clean freak that I am .I hope this is a turning point for one of the strongholds in my life J

As I end off one of the shortest posts in my blog ever, I’m thankful.

P.S : Some of you couldnt comment previously, but I've laxed on the commentary restrictions.

Your blog is indeed long, so many things to comment.

Thanks for your effort to prepare the worship on Friday, especially to move your whole computer out of your room just to connect to your TV. Really interesting to see a desktop on TV. Thank God to allow you to be calm in both worship and vocals duties this weekend too.

Thanks for opening your house too. Think your suggestion of meeting in your room will be a better choice since it will not interfere your family's action.

Glad that various individuals in our group has ministered to you, although a question did occur to my mind will you settle down well in Lighthouse too if you joined them since your age group is closer to them anyway. Interested to know who this sister you are always chatting to too.

Sad to say I may not be joining all of you for the next 2 months. Take care.
