gOOdbye e168!

tOday was the last service with my cellgrOup le. friday was the last cellgrOup.

====friday====
was feeling weird the whOle day. can't believe that i am realli realli gOing fOr the last cellgrOup meeting with e168. e168.. was the cellgroup i led when i was cellgrOup leader a few years back. e168.. was the cellgrOup i came back intO after i came back tO church. e168.. was the cellgrOup where i saw mani schOOl revivals. it has a special place in my heart.

during the cellgrOup meeting, a part of me kept wOndering hOw will sis sher annOunce tO the cellgrOup that i am leaving and hOw the members will react. when sis sher finally annOunced, sOme of the members begin to cry. i felt sad tO leave, but yet i knOw it's fOr a greater purpOse. i managed to hOld back my tears, but my heart ached. i was deeply tOuched by the members when they each said sOmething tO me one by one.. i was realli very very tOuched and all i cOuld dO was tO smile and nOd.. since time was running out [anOther grOup of peOple were waiting tO use the cg place] and there's alOt of members.

sis sher presented me with a gift from the cellgroup.. a forever friends bear, a forver friends calendar and a bottle of sweets! after that, we headed to the kopitiam for fellowship and most of the members came along. while we're looking for seats, ryan and i accidentally dropped the bottle and it smashed into pieces! .. *saddedz. there goes the sweets and the photos inside.

i realli enjoyed the cellgroup today.. and i'd miss e168 alot alot alot.

====saturday====
last service with e168. the cellgroup members realli showered me with alot of attention and it made me feel even more sad that i have to leave. cedric gave me a letter that says that i cannot open it until i get home. after the service, we all went for fellowship at the coffeeshop, den went back to rooftop to play guitar. we all played guitar at the playground and tho it was all wet, we still sat down there. we all played until realli late.. and left church at 10pm..

====e168====
sis sher: thanks for being a caring and wonderful leader to me. thanx for lifting me up when i am down and building me strong in the Lord. thru u, i learnt that i can be part of a mighty revival and not just a spectator. will miss u lots.

cheekiong: it's been great working with u... tho we're not exactly very close but i know u're a great brother, very patient and very gentle in ur spirit, which reminds me of Moses! hehe

gywn: thanx for being a friend, not just a cg member to me. i appreciate that u take initiative in building friendship and made me realise that i need to fellowship with people and not just 'work' with them. let's keep in contact! and fellowship too!

charlotte: u were there in the same group as me when e168 first multiplied! realli thank u for all the help u have given to me in this cellgroup.. and for teaching me the mass dance tho i never mastered it. haha. do eat more and take care!

sylvia: u're such a joyful person! thanx for always being cheerful and taking the initiative to talk! haah. sometimes i get realli tired but i still see u cheerful and talking to me. wish ya all the best in ur pursuit in the area of music!

szehui: my first disciple in e168! i'm glad u've grown, and seeing u grow and change is such an achievement! haha.. of cos it's not becos of me, but i know it's God. i didn't really know u well even when e168 first multiplied and when u came into my group, i was rather lost. but thank God, things turned out well and marsiling started to grow. u've been a great disciple and friend to me and i really thank you for the love u have showered upon me. and i remember that time when i was sick, u all gave me a bottle with a letter inside. u never fail to touch me with ur thoughtfulness. continue to love people fervently and have a big heart to love Everyone around u. take care.

cedric: the first time i saw u, u look like a typical ahbeng to me. and talk to u, u just entertain me only. i nearly gave up on u.. until i saw u and ryan so excited at emerge.to me, it's like a miracle and i started to believe in miracles and revival. working with u was not very fun in the beginning cos u dun realli talk to me. haha. but it turned out that it was not so as i got to know u better. altho u seldom talk, but u keep reaching out to ur friends and inviting people to come. and i wunder how u do it.. among all the people, i tink i scold [disciple] u the most, cos i know u can take it! and i thank God everytime u'd listen and make an effort to change. u must be strong always, ok? cling on to God always, dun ever release ur grip [ur hope] on Him. ur dreams and desires will be fulfiled when u start to fulfil His vision for u.

ryan: i didn't remember what i tot of u when i first saw u. i dun even remember that i took ur hp number from u. all i remember was.. either u or one of ur friends was interested in charlotte right.. haha. u're a funnie person and u always bang my guitar when u helped me to carry. i've never seen u angry or sad before, u're always smiling or luffing or telling lame jokes. no matter what happens, u never fail to smile. still remember that time when ur mum hit ur head with a pot and u still came to cellgroup.. when i heard it, i dunno if i should luff or feel sorry for u.. i know u have a heart to serve, so continue to serve with a humble heart.

jon lim:hmm.. how could i leave u out? my most hardworking guitar student, who did he own research and practiced loads when i didn't even tell him to. that's the spirit brother. keep it up and be humble in all that u do! God will use a humble person! i'm amazed that u wanted to sell ur guit to give to the missions pledge.. when u sow in ur precious, God sees and He'd definitely provide for u. thanks for being a great student and disciple... u're an encouragement to me when i see u changing and growing and sacrificing for the Lord. i can see u realli love God with all ur heart. continue to seek Him and u shall see ur desires coming to pass. God must be ur motivation. take care brother!

charmaine: when i first knew u, u're a very quiet person.. just like ur sis. however, as i got to know u better, u're a fun-loving and cool gal. i can see that u have a heart for souls and u've always been trying to reach out to ur friends. sometimes, friends will reject us or put aeroplane but keep on believing and keep on sowing. when a farmer sows, he needs to wait for the plant to grow.. so, be focused and be patient. always hold on to the promises of God.. nothing is more valuable than souls and nothing is more rewarding den sowing into the lives of people around u. i realli wanna see u grow stronger in the Lord and being excited for revival again!

grace: u're a special girl! talented, pretty, smart and all. in the beginning, i couldn't realli guess if u're gonna stay with us anot, but i just prayed u will. u're a girl with lotsa questions and sometimes i wunder if i shld answer u or not..haha. but i decided i should, if not, u'd have more questions about why i never answer u. haha. i was pretty surprised by u, that u continued to come, despite the fact that u were rather doubtful.. and at some moments, i tot u'd not wanna join us anymore. i remember there was once none of us could get u on the fone, and it was b4 service and all of us were anxious, cos we tot u didn't know where and when to meet. in the end u turned up and it really shocked us. u're not the talkative type in the group but i know u have a willing heart to serve. continue to serve even more ya? and keep on moving to greater heights in the kingdom of God!

howe: u were a very quiet person.. until now u're still very quiet. but recently i've seen u smiling more and talking abit more.. u have a great smile, so please smile more ya?? great to see u in the cellgroup, see u knowing God more and more each day. sometimes u're quite blur and forgetful..haha. really hope that u'd experience a more personal relationship with God. take care!

jace: wat a pity! i didnt get to see u in cg and svc this week... haiz. anyway, thank you for being such a faithful member in the cellgroup. altho u're the only woodgrove member in e168, but yet u still persist to come and to get to know God. continue to reach out ya? and u'd see more of ur friends coming! thanks for ur friendship and being such a wonderful member to me. take care.

paulina: u're such a rok chic! always enjoy seeing u in church cos u'd come in very funky fashions. hehe. the first few times i saw u, i find that u're quite a funnie person and thank God u're part of the cg! very happy that u're one of my guitar students and i thank God that all of u are so teachable [cos sometimes i get very strict and fierce when i teach..haha]. be strong in the Lord and hope to see u playing for cg one day!

peijing: spideywoman! why they call u that? anyway, really appreciate ur friendship in the cellgroup. tho we're not veryvery close that kind, but u're a family to me. all of u are! must jiayou in ur guitar too! will miss all da guit lessons and bible studies too! no more rocket le! haha...all da best!

venus: u've been around for very long le, even before all the various school revivals right? hehe.. that time we still called u weiling, until we discovered that ur name is venus. thru u, 2 of ur friends have come to the Lord.. so continue to sow seeds of life in ur friends ya? will miss ya smiles and laughs. take care!

jessica: please eat more! if not i am realli going to ban u from coming to church! haha, just kidding. was i really very fierce? haha. anyway, really enjoy cracking jokes with all of u and giving bible studies to all of u too. really happie to see u all commiting urself to the Lord.. remember that time u all always 'ai mai ai mai' one.. but suddenly, u all just kept coming, even when we say got exams no nid come u all still wan to come! so be strong and keep serving more. and grow fatter too.

jamie: jiajia liang cha!! very cute and innocent gal and luffs so easily. haha. will miss the times i disturb the 3 of u and make u all luff. and i still wan my liangcha too. haha. very happy that u all are now in the cellgroup and serving.. and even learning to play guit..haha. will miss all the fun times and luffing times with u all. and of cos the bible studies too... next time dunno the answer can go Attributes and see. take care!
