This is the Year of Victory!

What can I say? With John winning the Top Prize in the Lenovo Innovation Award 2007, and TOUCH winning the Outstanding Non-Profit Organisation Award 2007???

The word that Pastor Eugene released earlier this year:

"See, I am concerned for you, and I will come to help you. Your ground will be tilled and your crops planted. I will greatly increase the population of Israel, and the ruined cities will be rebuilt and filled with people. Not only the people, but your flocks and herds will also greatly multiply. O mountains of Israel, I will bring people to live on you once again. I will make you even more prosperous than you were before. Then you will know that I am the LORD."
Ezekiel 36:9-11

Lord, thank you!

Meaning of Joyce

Found this on a website www.babynamesworld.com

"Though usually used as a feminine name today, Joyce is a traditionally masculine name. It derives from an old Breton name meaning "experienced in battle," but many parents today choose it because it contains the word "joy." "

I'm speechless that my name actually means experience in battle. Makes sense.. humbly in His kingdom :p

A Stronger Tribe, with Hearts Warm

I was only usual way to work, being packed like Sardines on the MRT, when suddenly, the faces of the Youths (Esp the Boy that won the Entertainment Award) came to my mind.

I find myself, smiling and gleeing my way to work.

Last night, I felt a never before openness in my G12 group (Not that last time not open), but really, a deeper connection and deeper transparency. I find that my G12 group has become more closely knitted this year.

Reason? We fought together (praying for one another), sweat together, eat together, sleep together (like real cell-mates), bathe together (for some of us...haha), and definitely, cry together.

We are more aware of each other's weaknesses and strengths, and also, clearer in terms of alignment in values. It's not just me enforcing anymore, it's the entire tribe in one voice.

We are stronger than ever. We've never been this strong. Yet our hearts, evermore warm and connected with each other.

I've never led a group this far, by the grace of the Lord. It's very exciting for me, personally.

It's not over. The best has yet to come. Now, just need to stay humble and focus on consolidating and strengthening the next level.

So Lord, here we go with Your Grace!
