I really have to thank God for the strength to overcome my view of school that i carried with my throughout my sec 1 and 2 years. I used to dread going to school, I was always longing for another Christian that really cared about God to show up in the class but there never was. There never was even in Sec 3 until I brought a friend to Church. He re-dedicated his life to Christ and now, it's not so tiring being the only one in class that really cares about God and wanting to show His love to my friends. Many a time we only complain and dread over things but it's when we take the first step that things start to change =]

To me, 2009 was a year of rising up for me. Rising up in leadership and in speaking up. I never could lead a group well, I always felt that I screwed up and all. Honestly I didn't really learn much from my failures, but rather it was a suddenly can do kinda thing. And when I look back, with my own strength I wouldn't be able to lead like how I lead now. The part about leading worship, well, still learning =] Speaking up, I never really dared to speak up in terms of taking initiative to lead a group when no one is. I also learn to really just tell people what needs to be heard rather than always telling people what they wana hear. When I look back at the start of 2009, it all started as being appointed the class chairman. I didn't ever thought whether God had a plan for that or not. It just seemed like a sabotage by friends to get that role kinda thing. But God really used all these things though it's not a position in Church, to teach me alot. I felt that I could have done more as the class chairman though, but that's a lesson I have to learn and apply to my life this year whether i'm the chairman again or not! You don't have to have a chairman position to lead, it's all about initiative, i think? =] Then There was Superlife Ministry, band leader. I never thought spending more time worshipping in a band practice would change things to how it is today. Though I honestly many times did not put in my heart and soul to plan and pray over things =( And last but not least, cell ministry! God used 'Elevate camp' as a platform for me to rise up. Now as i look at it, it actually all links up! During camp, stepping up to pray for my cell mates and leaders. I always worried what if I prayed the wrong things and all, but we just need to forget everything we know about the person and hear what God has to say =]

I thank God for all the times I could rise up in the elevate camp! Will have a seperate blog post on my experience in 'elevate camp' !

Yep, actually 2009 has been quite a year of spiritual Elevation! =] Not sure what to expect of 2010 but anyway, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! =]
