This is the family...

It really blesses my heart and humbles me greatly to see people on fire for God. Especially so when these are new additions to the family, but the way they talk about God, the way they actions show how hungry they are for God; these really move me.

I'm thankful for a family in E348 who, amidst all the imperfections, is so unique and special in its ways.
I'm thankful to belong to a family who seeks the creative and dares to be different, for people who are not just my members but very much my friends.
I'm thankful for the atmosphere of love that goes beyond weekends, but we are around for each other 24-7.
I'm thankful for the differences so great in every single individual, but how beautiful that they come together so bizarre-ly to form a body blessed to shine for God is every area, each playing our part so harmoniously.

Why wait for birthdays to share what your appreciation for each other? The time is NOW.

To Kingsley: Thanks for being such an encouragement to me in your hungry attitude and always thanking me. You sure know how to affirm me! ;)

To Hongxiu: Thanks for your faithful attitude, for always being around without fail. You may be youngest in age, but you are very much a part of us.

To Lewen: Thanks for being around whenever you can with us, and for adding some cool factor to the group!

To Jon: Thanks for being around to fellowship with us as much as possible and for being so easy-going and open to conversation with everyone. Do bless us more with your presense!

To Cia: Thanks for your sweetness to my life! ;) I understand you are currently going through your O's and may have less time with us, but we're at your beck and call for fellowship sessions yea? Jiayou for O's!

To Val: Thanks being an inspiration to me, in the way that you never fail to try your best despite limitations placed on your life. A's will be over in the flash of an eye, and in the meantime, we are praying!

To Nian: Thanks for your determination, perservering spirit and faith. Your fighting spirit and spunk is one thing we can all afford to learn from you. Again I say, keep pressing for your breakthru!

To Charles: Thanks for your willingness, sacrifices and most awesome attitude. Your undisputable faithfulness and humbleness will take you far, and we do see a budding preacher at hand! ;)

To YQ: Thanks for your selfless sacrifices and sensitivity to the people around you. You certainly are Mr SNAG, and you are one of the few who will look beyond the surface and ask the "Are you okay?" question. ;) Your concern for people is an inspiration truly to me.

To Terence: Thanks for inspiring me with your dreams, goals, and the things you are doing, and still making time in being around with us. Keep making a difference in your marketplace and being Mr President!

To Jo: Thanks for your ideas, contributions and always being so open and frank with me. Thanks for being willing to accept change in this new environment, and for always bringing joy and entertainment to us. Won't be the same without you!

To Wendy: Thanks for always being so willing to listen and be taught. You are someone I know I can count on to carry the vision and run together with me. Your passion for life itself inspires me!

To Ade: Thanks for being the always different, opinionated, quirky girl with an encouraging side seeking to emerge. ;) You have always been someone very close to my heart, and I've always enjoyed fellowshipping with you. More of it soon okay?!

To Jme: Thanks for always being the 1st in line to run this race with me, and for your patience and love for me and the cg. Thanks for bearing the brunt many a times (haha!), and for always seeking to understand my heart. My dear sis, I can't do without you around! Thanks for staying strong and breaking through.

With love,
