Proverbs 31:29
"many women do noble things,
but you,winnie,surpass them all."

i should really really stop and count my blessings...i've never realized the so many so many gracious blessings lavished upon me until i got to talk it out. it felt totally good. and i shall list some of the blessings here!

- the 12 converts in central a! ca has never had this number of converts before,never ever..for 4 years.. :P thankew dad!

- the reassurance i get from my classmates! i've never liked the image of winnie in pj,and thought that i wasnt being a good ambassador of God in the school.but last week when the teacher just short-listed 4 names to be in the class com without seeking our opinion, lotsa girls end up coming to tell me that they put me as the assistant class manager, when my name wasnt one of the four. i got a shock! and yet there was joy and reassurance that God's still working thru me.n there wasnt a tinge of pride! thankew Dad!

-the many life transformations i've witnessed in the month of march,thunderous applause to all those who were blessed by new sheep! mel! hannah! puiwah! sandy! minzhen! calean! kelly! choonmin! and liping! so happy that God's using you to build strong ppl for his kingdom,you can do it. God says so, i say so too!

-God's protection over me in school! thankew dad!

and many many more! thankew angelina for calling back and listening to me! it was a great talk..discussing, updating each other, sharing our fears and thoughts and going through testings and challenges together. never realized this clear that something's missing in my life after u left..i guess i became less joyful? oh well! after that talk, am gonna count my blessings like every day every moment!

sometimes peopel really amazes and impresses me, its so easy to judge, to entertain negative thoughts about a certain action..but i guess it's time to dig out good things about people..n we'll all understand that people are really God's wonderful creation, created in His very own image. so i wanna thank God for many people in my life.
-mighty 4! jies sandy n ting
-ziying!
-daniel!
-central a
-family
-classmates
.........................oh my oh my is never ending. :)

but when i think about the mighty 4, it brings a smile on my face,i've never really encountered true friendship till i met them. we didnt start off well,they didnt like me and i didnt know how to relate to them..we were placed in the same grp coz we were in the same sch..though we failed to see the hand thats moving behind this relationship.slowly, God filtered the group and we were one of the few left in the group. we came together as ppc ( party planning committee) to plan for long zhong cgs, n just chill out at ting's house watching la bu xiao xin and probably luring each other to buy ke ai ji to share! so fun!then after that they left central a together, moved on and continued to serve God together..we didnt get to meet up often coz if ministry directions,but when we come together..is always so comfortable and fun..i thought and realized that no other clique can have more different individuals than us,yet God is in the centre and they glued us together.

now we are gonna continue our seperate ways and soar with God..but will never forget how mighty 4 has come this far..n mighty 4 must continue to shine! :P

*GO!* CLAP CLAP, CLAP CLAP *MI!* CLAP CLAP, CLAP CLAP *TI!* CLAP CLAP, CLAP CLAP
*FOUR!* CLAP CLAP,CLAP CLAP.......GOOOOOOOO MIGHTY FOUR!!
