The year is over

It has been a fast one, and definitely an eye-opener - 2008 experience.
The year has already gone past without you realizing it. Man really cannot chase time. Nothing can.

We just had our Christmas service yesterday and it was a breeze. This year's Christmas did not really feel like one. Probably because of the many events that we have in church that brought down the hype of Christmas Event.

As a leader in HoGc, you$ never stop doing things, you never quit from being busy... Things are just always going on and on... But at the end of the day, the rewards are all that you ever yearn for...

These are the things that brought life to me whenever I think about it:

1) Zi Ling sharing her testimony on stage! It is like her dream come true. And it brought a little heaven to my soul knowing that her dream has come true. You never find that feeling anywhere else. Not in winning the basketball championship, not in earning your first $500, not receiving praises from people...

I suddenly have this thought. Sometimes people ask "If you have a chance to live life again, what would you do?".
Well, as a matter of fact, when you are born in the faith, you are living your 2nd life. When you are baptized with Christ, you were crucified together and resurrected together. You live a new life of obedience to the Lord. That's what we call a "new man". The old has passed away, the new has come.

So if any of you really dislike your life and wants to start afresh, it is possible. =) Come to Jesus and He will bring you through it. I am living my 2nd life now. I start a new.

So back to the rewards of life.........
2) E ray, jason, Yu Heng, Terry, Crystal, Queenie, Vernon, Zhong Ying, Hui Hang... ...
These are the people that bring life to me whenever I see them. E Ray is pure and nice... Jason can be quiet at times, but crappy many times...ahah. I never really hanged out with Yu Heng and Terry yet but yearning to do so sooN!!!! Crystal is funny, and energetic... haha, that is life in itself!!! Queenie is interesting.. ahha, my school mate. =) Vernon is smart!!! But well, i like him not because he is smart, but because he is who he is.... Zhong Ying is a good chess player!!! ahah. She is quiet and just adding life in her little giggles. =) Hui Hang........ see you soon!!! haha.

Just the thoughts of them will bring a destiny to my life.

3) Friends... I thank God for friends like Nicholas Lee... Esmonde... Colin... Zachary... that would just encourage and pump some faith into you whenever they see you...
The hugs of Esmonde.
The "high-ness" of Nicholas.
The silent words of Colin. (Haha, I don't know what I mean... He is just funny, probably because of the sense of security that he can provide with his commando-trained muscles)
The occasional jokes of Zachary...

haha... the list goes on...

2009 will be greater and my tips for everyone, including myself is...

CATCH UP WITH LIFE... it runs faster than you...especially in Heart of God Church.
