hey people, today we made a pinky swear as a commitment to build this family of God together.


Do yall rmb how yall played "gou gou shou" with your friends when you're young? Now we've prayed with our pinkies crossed, it means a promise is made yeah. I found out from the net that in the olden times, the pinky swear was so significant that the person who breaks the promise must cut off their pinky finger. aiyo. we're not so cruel but this promise we've made, cannot be broken kayys! & no "I take it back" or whatever too!

Dear God, i just want to pray for this family that you've placed me in. Although the family atmosphere is not as strong at present, i pray that with time & our devotion, this family will grow to be even more united & close-knitted. I pray that because you're in the center of all our relationships, the friendships & the bonds we form would be strong & biblical.(:

that more than eating together,

& having fun together,

we'll be each other's support in this eternal race! that no longer do we have to run this spiritual marathon on our own but we'll be able to run with much joy because of these friends you've placed in our lives. When the race gets tough, we'll cheer each other on & pull each other along. & when the scenery turns beautiful & an obstacle has just been overcome, we've got each other to enjoy the success together & celebrate with. we'll run TOGETHER with all our might till we see Jesus face to face.(: let's not underestimate how much God can work in a community that is united & truly wants to follow him! brick by brick, soul by soul, let's build this family together.(:

anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to CAMILIA!!!:D you're eighteen & you're dearly LOVED by HCCG & GOD!:D

with love,
asha

hello humans!(:

AHA. so random, but i just felt like posting something! i really enjoyed CG today! AHA. it wasnt exceptionally special, not really big since quite alot of ppl not there, just like any other caregroups we've had.. but somehow, i was able to experience joy & love. its so qiguai to say this, but actually ive been struggling for some time to come for CG cos sometimes CG really do take quite abit of energy out of me. so yeah, i admit that sometimes i go for CG & serve out of a grudging spirit, merely out of responsibility.. but God did sometime amazing in my heart today & He allowed me to truly enjoy each of your presence as brothers & sisters!(: so today, i wanna tell yall that i really wanna treat each of yall not just as a caregroup member, not just as my sheep or people i have to take care of, but FRIENDS! friends for eternity, friends who will run this race with me, friends whom i can share my life with, friends who i will treasure.(:

shall shunbian affirm some ppl here today! AHA. junyao for his maiden attempt at chairing caregroup. OOPS, both of us din really prepare well. but its cool to see you being so crazy, singing songs like nobody's business, & being so AA just to get attention. AHA. shall make you chair more next time, then your butt wont stick to the floor so much anymore! next, i wanna affirm songkang, its his first CG role, & he led games with val & zhiqin.(: wah. turning ten rounds can really make one feel giddy mannzz. AHA. games was enjoyable!(: last but not least, kennyboy! AHA. he's so funny. he couldnt fall asleep the previous night before CG because he's so nervous that he's leading holy com for the first time! anyway, you led holy com well!(: simple but thoughtful. for those i din mention, yall are deeply remembered too! AHA.:D

even as we work towards CG08, lets aim to make this caregroup a FAMILY too.(: AH. dont have much time left in HC, but what i have, ill give to my best! i pray that God will really knit our hearts together, to be close-knitted yet always outward-looking to save those who are still lost too. let's jiayous tgt!

with love,
asha
