Hello all! :)
While you all are still orientating, most in school, one at home, and one is already bombarded with tests, let us not forget each other in our prayers even as we lead our own lives everyday. I guess this is what this blog is about, to keep each other in touch with our lives, and it really is something we need to be proactive about. So guys, let's keep this blog alive yea! It's all up to you.
Last year at that camp I went (the ONLY camp by the way :D), we talked a lot about the body of Christ in Romans 12:1-21. As Sue and I told you all before, Varsity Christian Fellowship (VCF) is made up of Christians from all walks and denominations, and it really opens your eyes to the varied ways God works in our lives, and how it all just comes together so perfectly at the end. So, my group is really made up of very different people, and at certain times we could really feel the tension. We all had very different abilities, and there was once I felt extremely overwhelmed by my helplessness in certain situations, when the rest stood tall. It was really a battle within our group and within ourselves. At the end of the day we always thrashed things out, voiced out our opinions and troubles, but the most important thing I learnt was that, we should always run back to God.
In that camp I really saw how God specifically put my team together, so that we may be able to complement each other. For example, I'm the only one in the group who knows how to play any instrument, this girl was fantastic at dealing with the group's finances in a way none of us could have done, my leader has really good public speaking skills etc. We might be really different, but God in His wisdom put us together so we might fill up each other gaps, and we might even have differences in opinions regarding the doctrine (like speaking in tongues, how to worship), but it is our common love for God that brings us together.
Likewise, in our cell, there will always be people who will be better than others in certain areas, and we might all be really different, but let us not forget that our sole purpose of being in a cell is to fellowship and lend support to each other I Christ. Many times people forget that, and they only go for the fellowship, and when the fellowship isn't up to their expectations, they leave. However, a cell is not all about the people, but it's a peopleof God coming together out of a desire to know more about God, and to draw support from each other. Let not our differences hinder us from seeking God yea! And let's always support each other cos it's really really really important. I never understood its importance until after I left my cell and I felt so completely lost. So appreciate each other while you still have this cell!
AND I apologize for the lack of a tagboard, simply because I have no idea how to put it up :/ Any tech genius wanna takeover? Cos I'm obviously not making any progress! Haha. And stay healthy everyone! Don't be like me I'm down with a flu cos of Sat's games in which I was dehydrated la that's why Sunday so no strength. But I didn't fall asleep! Cheryl can testify. Haha.
God Bless!
