Last Saturday, I went to church for CG. It was BURNING HOT in the room because it's really small (it was our previous CG-E5 room and the number of members wasn't that MANY). So we were ALL soaking in our own sweat (I know right, ew) + we were playing physical activity for icebreaker ( ice that we really needed to break but apparently still stubbornly remain frozen, even with the PHYSICAL HEAT..) & since the air conditioner wasn't working really well - we didn't have the controller to adjust because it went missing, I guess.. OR had passed over to somebadeeeh and that person forgot to return.. AND because it's shared among the CGs hahahah. - we went down to the cafeteria after a round of sharing about how our weeks have been (said I'm here and I'm in to check ourselves in - LIKE AN INN/motel/hotel!) Nothing much happened in other people's life as well as mine except Ashwin (our new asst. CG leader) who is a very nice culinary guy and a good cook - I heard :) hmm food! :D but it was awkward when he said he heard John saying that I'm a very nice person, oh my gosh it was super duper awkward i didn't know what to say. I MEAN WHY WOULD JOHN SAY THAT. I miss John and the old CG so much, and Jehanne too! I miss baking with Jehanne! - My first ever, CG leader who was so mother-like! Hehehehe :P

Oh yea then we went to the cafeteria.. And we were asked to write a letter to our future self (or our end-of-the-year self) and open it on the 31st of December this year.. ahhaaha again, I tried to write a lot of nonsense so I will have something to laugh about later on. I'm so afraid I will be drifted away from my faith because that's what happens in my family - my dad, brothers. None of them held on to their faith. My eldest brother seems like he has the faith, he told me he knows who the real God is but when I asked him to go to church with me he insisted that I was forcing my family members to go, but honestly I wasn't, I was just asking very sincerely(a bit naggish), I didn't know why he thought I was forcing them, I felt sad after hearing that. He chose jogging over going to church. Indeed, maybe I was being quite annoying asking them to go, I tried my best to invite them every week but it didn't work so.. I will try on special days like Easter/Christmas. I was very thankful that they went on Christmas day. It definitely was a great testimony for me. Yup, I hope someone is praying for me that my faith will be so much stronger and that I won't backslide in the future, because that's what I pray for myself every night.

CG was not as good as what I expected but I'm glad I've met Ashwin! I heard he isn't a 2nd generation Christian too, that's why I thought he was inspiring since he still is believing God. It's true that a lot of people have been so faithful in high school but have become atheists after going to college. That just shows how the world can influence you so badly, swiftly. You just have to keep holding on to your faith because it will save you from eternal sufferings..

For by grace you have been saved through faith.

That keeps popping in my head whenever I talk about faith.

It was an eye opener to see how CG was so different last week than any other CG meetings I've gone to every other week. It was so fashion&technologically influenced. People were holding their handphones calling people right after the CG ended (IT ENDED SUPER EARLY, when I saw the clock on the cafeteria it was only 3:30pm.) I thought Ashwin said he was gonna ask us what we're still doing in CG but I guess he forgot about it so he didn't ask LOL. And CG-E4 is so different oh my goodness :o there are so many talkative people (not in a bad way) I think it's because they know Ashwin really well.. somehow I think my CG and I were as if a level lower than theirs, I mean, worldly-influenced wise.

CG is never the same anymore, sigh..

I think God is planning something better ahead. I hope and I believe.

We're painting Easter eggs and writing some messages next week! It's gonna be legend-wait for it-dary!

Anyway sermon after that was good! It was preached by Pastor Chris! :D He sang as if he was in RedBox with us LOL. It was so nice to hear him sing. And he was saying how in the bible, not everyone ended well and our purpose is to end well in life. So yea, being faithful is important, really important.
