HELLO HANDSOME GUYS AND BEAUTIFUL LADIES!!
I know i haven't been blogging in our thensuddenyle348 for quite some time so it's time for an update! I see that our blog has suddenly become alive again!

Just now had the second prayer meeting with my colleagues and what can i say?! it was beyond what i imagined. We chose a different location this time with light, praise, worship, pray. 2 of them were quite dead during praise and i learnt from what Wendy said when she led praise last time that 'only the dead people cannot praise God, so is everyone alive today?!', it was a good try though. Worship was a great time of dwelling in the presence of God and each one of us taking turns to pray, to share. I was really proud of my friend that even though he had fallen away from God and had just recently went back to church, he shared! It was really an encouraging moment. This time i think we were more open to each other so it was also easier for us to share but at the same time, i thank God that each of us took the step of faith to open our mouths to speak and to edify our souls.

Starting a prayer group has been my vision and urge during the 21 days of prayer and of course, this cannot be done by myself alone for i know i'll not be bold enough to take this step but really thank God for giving me the boldness to do so, to cross my comfort zone and make a difference in my marketplace. We also discussed about who we can reached out to and the girls (my friend and myself), had the same people in my mind. It will not be an easy task as i know that once we started this prayer group the devil will be fighting with us, so we need to become even stronger to fight these wars.

One night when i was in Japan and talking to God, He spoke to me about the first touch. What was the first experience i had with God that i will not forget? Most of us came from non-christian family and we have broken rules just to be with God, like for myself, I told my mum that i was watching movie with my friends at town but i was at jurong west. That first touch from God, the first time we experience God's love pouring down as we open our hearts to Him and how we wanted to know God more and more each day, to walk with Him each day. Let's remember this special relationship we have with God today and renew it each day. (:

Cheers!
