[WEStWO] - TOGETHER AS ONE , THE WALL WILL FALL.

"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy." 1 Peter 2:9-10

i guess when it's time to move on there's no way we can look back now. i really enjoyed the times we had together as a cell group. we started out moving from places to places trying to find a place where we could use when it seemed like there was none. just when we thought that we had found the place that we were looking for, changes have to come.

i feel like we are a family together even though there were only the few of us sometimes. it's not the quantity but it's the quality. the openness that we have during cell group is something which we cannot find outside anywhere. you guys know more about me than anyone else. i feel really comfortable with the cell group and i can't find any words to describe it. i admit that i find it very hard to accept these changes but God's ways are still higher than ours.

to longjun: thanks for bringing me to walk that 2.4m route and then the thrilling 1h coronation road west walk. i will surely miss you. indeed, you are someone complicated on the outside but plain on the inside.

to lindy: thanks for showing your concern the other time. i have learned a lot from you. really.

to meixian: in the midst of all that you are facing, you still gave to God and this is something which not many people are able to do. i am really encouraged by the sincerity that you have in approaching God.

to edwina: continue to grow in the Lord in the new cell group. to seek Him with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul and with all your strength.

It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always and not just when i am with you. Galatians 4:18

i came across this verse during one of my devotions this week. as long as it is God's purpose for us in our lives, it is good. let's continue to serve Him with zeal always wherever we are and let this not be determined by the people around us.

hello. west five will be my 6th cell in 2 years. i just wanted you to know that i never had any qualms leaving and losing contact with all my ex cell members, until i came to westwo. this is the first cell group i felt some form of attachment to, i thought i should at least say thank you before i go.

meixian

hey there my dearests,

youve all been the best cell members i could ever imagine or hope for, and i thank God for the time He has let me enjoy with you.

sometimes you just wish with all your might, that maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to cling on to that which you cannot lose. but it is His will and you know you cannot fight it. rather unwillingly, you let go of the reins youve been fighting in vain to manipulate, the same ones that youve been hoping against hope that he'll let you control, and place them into His hands. you can only trust that He'll bring you somewhere even better than you expected. and you know that He will, but you stubbornly cling onto the illusion that maybe you can manage on your own. but illusions will be illusions: meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

ive given so much to you, yes you in particular, that this is hurting like anything. i bet you never knew i loved you so much. but i do. and im paying for it. not that i mind, though. try superglueing your hand to your face then ripping it away.

the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.

and as the saying goes, when God closes a door, He opens another.

this is an opportunity for growth, and as i grow, away from you guys, all i can say is that i genuinely hope that you guys will grow exponentially as well. i wish you all the best in west2, and may you guys always soak in the presense of the Lord.

goodbye west2. this will be my last post here. thanks, guys, for everything we did together: happy times, sad times, crazy times, angry times, irritating times, plain stupid times, stubborn times, going home together times. no, really. i appreciate them.

i told you so, didnt i? i said it would be the last time going home together.

dont think i wont miss you! and i mean each and every one of you. continue to have fun, ya?

and dont worry bout me. im like a chameleon, i adapt well. =D

from the bottom of my heat i love you guys forever and ever,
Lindy

p.s. m&ms are colourful and make you high. eat more of em. theyre good anti-depressants.
