Topic of the Week
What is faith?
- putting your faith God, how have the journey been? Tough?
- How have it affects the way you lead your life?
- What is the meaning of faith? being faithful? being faithless? being faith-filled?
- Why have you chosen to have faith in God? because he is real? because of his community? or what?
Come on Occidental, post your responses on the blog =)
You may ask questions regarding faith.. You may write your own story of faith in God. Or anything in relation to the topic. To encourage one another or hoping somebody will reply to encourage you. For those who do not have access, even if you're not from Occidental, I'll encourage you to post questions on the tagboard! (Occidentalists please get access to post from me)

Thanks Giving!
Since nobody had yet start the ball rolling.. allow me your dear RETARDED leader to affirm you guys first alright? =)
What should I say.. Firstly, I do not believe that there should be any status difference between me and you all! That's why often I do not behave like a leader.. But rather, have fun? Let's be crazy together! Serious time? Then I'll not allow anybody to be funny. Thus.. One thing to affirm about our group is we're always bonded together and strong in fellowship! Its not just surface relationship,but the unity is built like strong roots of a tree... Occidental? Let's not just unite with the regular faces alright? Let's see those who are always not around to be present next time round!
Hmm.. like to affirm a few people who had been supporting me greatly in the past few weeks..
Shawn: What should I say. Im really impressed and touched to see your life transformation. Perhaps you might not have realise, but you have changed from a person in the past who doesn't really cares about the people around you, to a person who serve willingly and putting others before self. Your support to me is essential! Have been a great armour bearer to me after since SP2 is formed.. Thank you. Im loss for words to say other than thank you. I believe you heard my heartbeat =) Come my dear warrior! Fight with me in this battle against the devil, and claim victories for Jesus. Let's witness converts in our caregroup by earnestly praying and fasting over them.. And giving our best effort to evangelise and sow!
Pooiyee: Im really surprised to see your desire and passion to commit in the frontline roles of the caregroup and Im really proud of you. Your willingness to do all the favours I ask from you reflects your eagerness to contribute something to the group. Thank you for your support to me in the group.. Your conviction is important to everyone of us in the group! Like to take this time to encourage you to take your steps slowly and build the foundation in Christ strong.. SO may your future endeavours in God's ministry not be wavered easily. Let's serve God greatly with a child-like heart and always put our focus on Jesus. Everything that we do, we do it not for the group, not for ourself, not for status, not for glory, not for our leaders, but simply for God, simply to fulfil the great commission, simply to serve God's church.
Baorun: My dear sheep.. Am glad to be able to be given the honour to shepherd you. You have been an intelligent sheep, and I see potential in you to become a great leader in the future. Like to thank you for committing to the caregroup with me despite right now all of us is undergoing a very tough time together.. The period before the harvest, whereby the farmers have to plot the land, plant the seed, and then sow the seed is always difficult. Especially when the sun is scorching hot. But all the more the farmers work even harder, because they know the higher the temperature, the better the seed will grow into a beautiful plant. For us, the harder it gets, the more should we put in our efforts.. Then will the seed in the hearts of those we have plant be sowed and blossom into a beautiful plant of God! See the fruits of your conviction, its far greater than anything. Therefore, give your life fully to God, and he will help you to live your life to the fullest.
As for the others.. Your name may not be above but that doesn't means you have not supported me! All my coreteams are dear to me, and precious to me.. Brian, John, Edmund! The three of you have walked long journeys with me.. Brian you're like my best pal you know? John your knowledge and wisdom have been a great reservoir for the caregroup.. Edmund, your cheerfulness and charisma never fails to bring us smiles =)
And my dear members of the Occidental.. Evan, kestrel both my precious sheeps. I think of both of you everynight before I sleep, prayed for you everytime in my prayer. I love you and God loves you greatly you know! Comeback.. Dun dwell in the darkness too long. Pearlin.. Like a small sister of mine, I always like to take care of you. Ha. Perhaps I see alot of similarities in you from the ME in the past. Like my real sister like that! Continue to grow well in your relationship with God.. Geok Hian and garmeng! Been a long time since I could ever see you.. Both of you have so many commitments.. Nevertheless, I hope there will be more time in the future for all of us to come together as occidental, 13 souls, more to come, in fellowship and celebrations!
Love all.
