Jayna posting! :D

First of all, thank you, each and everyone of you, for making today such an enjoyable one. It's been a joy planning this event! Although it's kinda last minute but, I sure hope all of you had fun :) And I hope that we've been bonded even more as a cell! Alright this is a new year's eve post, something that's more or less a tradition for me. I take pride in putting lots of effort into this, so here goes:

2008 really has been a good one for me, or rather a good lesson for me. There are so many things in this year that I've enjoyed and I know by stepping into the next year, I've to let go of them. One of them is time. I know in sec 3 everything is a blur, esp I'm in a rather time consuming CCA and yup things are going to happen next year. Also next year I've to accept the fact that I'm going to be very, very tired. It's going to be rushed and I know it for sure. I know Sec 4 seems crazier but still.

God has taught me priceless lessons this year, and I'm sure he'd want me to take it with me to 09 and forevermore! Firstly he taught me that man will fail us, but God will never. :D Sometimes you find people that drain you, people that leave you feeling so tired and angry and you feel.......haha it just sucks! You know what I mean? But it's at that crunch time, God picks us up and dusts the dirt off us and welcomes us back into his arms, where we belong :)
Another thing I've learnt is Love. It's not all about the whole mushy nonsense, but you know love when you feel it :) It's the most awesome feeling anyone can ever feel. Hopefully God's love has rubbed off on you in different and many ways this year. :D

As I step into the new year, there's definitely this sense of fear and unknown in my heart, as I'm sure it's in everyone's. But my motto is: one step at a time with Jesus. There's no need to worry for tomorrow, there's no need to get so uptight and fear the future, but just take it easy. With God by our side, we will overcome, amen! :D I know for a fact that it's going to be hard at times for me to always remember that we should really let tomorrow worry for itself, but I'm going to do my best.

Alright! I know this would mean a lot to all of you, so I did it just for you guys :) I hope you like it. In alphabetical order.

Amberlie: Thank you for being such a sunshine to the cell. When I first met you, it was at megalife came 2007, where you prayed that super powerful prayer. I know God has great plans for you, don't ever forget that! Put all the awesome gifts he's given to you to great use, and I know that you'll be such a mighty warrior of God.
Amelia: My MHS groupie! I've really seen you grown from last year to this year and I know that God is starting a very amazing work in your life. Your passion for Christ is really evident! Don't be afraid or try to hide this fire, but continue to fan the flame for God, and I'm sure your fire will be contagious. (: If God calls you to something, just do it! Have faith in yourself, because God has great and mighty plans for you.
Benton: Thanks for being an awesome joy giver to the cell and to megalife! I know that beyond all the jokes and humour, you really do have a huge passion for God and his people, and yes, that's something I really admire. Don't doubt God, don't doubt yourself. (: The same God that put the stars in the sky and knows them by name has called you to be his mouthpiece!
Charis: We officially celebrate 14 years of friendship! :) I've known you for so so long, and the memories we shared as children, I'll hold dear to my heart. It's been an awesome blessing having you in Central 2, and we really look up to you as a big sister. Even as you leave the cell now, always remember that once a centralite, always a centralite! What God has done in you through central two, he will bring it to completion. God is always with you, and we're always here for you. Remember, in every season, God is still God. We have a reason to smile. :)
Crystal: Hey! Although you haven't been able to make it for service and cell much, I can see your passion for the cell and that's really great!

I know that he'll raise you up to be his mighty warrior!

You've been a caring leader to us too, and we won't forget your contributions :)
Daphne: You you you! It has really been my honor to see you come into cell and have this tremendous.....I dunno what you call it, but my best description is spiritual growth spurt! God is really working in your life, and I'm sure you feel it too! What God has given you, you must give again. His love is more than anything we can ever imagine, so share it with your friends yeah! And continue to smile, no matter what circumstances you're going through. That tremendous faith of yours will get you somewhere :) Jiayou!

Huiying: Hello! Although you've also been a little MIA for quite a while, I just wanna say that C2 misses you, come back soon k! When you experience God's love it doesn't just pass you by, but it will really change you from the inside out! Be expectant to feel God sweeping you off your feet!
Isaac: Laoban. I'm sure we all have plenty to thank you for, the great and the small things that you've done for this cell, we'll never forget. You know, sometimes things that you do, you may think that it's something very small, but to us it really does mean a lot. :) Thank you for all the sacrifices you've made, I know that being a leader really isn't easy. The fact that God has placed you in C2 is no way an accident, and the legacy you've left in our cell won't easily be forgotten. :) Thanks again for being an empowering and inspiring leader!
Jason Dong Dong: JWDD! Dong donggggg, you know your life is really something that keeps me going to keep on evangilising to my friends. How God has really changed you since you came to know him and entered the cell, it's really a great testimony. Although you're not with us now, I just want you to know that wherever you go, God is with you, and we're missing you! :) Don't forget us! I know that God will use you wherever you go, so have faith and know you're not alone :) Be strong!
Jiaru: Sexy! Haha! You've really been a true joy to the cell in your quirky actions and cute language you use. Haha, but beyond that I know that God has placed in you something that's burning for him! Don't ever let this fire burn out, but continue to run with perseverance and faith that no matter how long this race can be, you'll cling on to God (:
Joanne: I can still remember when we first entered the cell, everything felt so weird and foreign, but now we're all settled in, and it sure feels like home. I just want you to know that although sometimes we may have our own things to do and we may not always be together, our friendship has been a blessing from God, a gift from heaven! :) And I thank God for you. You really have the ability to bring joy and hope to us and your friends, continue spreading the love to all around you! And remember, God's love isn't about the words you use, his love is the language. :)
Joan Chew: Haha you know when I first came into the cell you were sec 3 and I thought you were so super old! -.- Now it's my turn! Every piece of advice you've given me, both as a friend and as a mentor have really helped me, so don't think what you're saying is just kong hua k! (: God has raised you up to be an awesome leader for Central two, and there's no denying it. i really admire how you have this...unwavering faith in God :) Now that you're leaving chung cheng and going into JC I know things are going to get more hectic, there's no better place to rest than in God's arms. :) Jiayou Joan, I know God has great plans for you, really. :D
Joan Ng: Thanks for our friendship these 2 years, I really do treasure it alot! Just want you to know, you really are very precious to God and to our cell; every tear you cry is precious in his eyes :) There is no greater love than God's, so after every tiring day or whenever you're feeling dry and weary, run to Jesus, for that's where you'll find rest. You don't always have to be strong, but when you're weak, God'll heal you, and that's where the most beautiful healing ever can take place :) Let God's peace that surpasses all understanding come and fill your life! :)
Kele: Hey fellow TRIUMPH WARRIOR! I've gotten to known you so much better in the last few months, and I've heard so much from you. I really think that God has given you a gift in speech, so don't be afraid to use it! All the things you've told me, they've really inspired me :) Don't ever look down on your testimonies, because God can use them to touch people's lives-even times when you don't even know it! Don't be afraid as you step into the new year, but be strong and courageous as God has commanded you to. If God brings you to something, he'll bring you through it. Remember, one step at a time with Jesus. (:
Kendrick: Mr Brain! You've been a very loyal and steadfast member to Central 2, and God will honor you for that! At cell you've given awesome answers to questions, and I believe that you can continue to take this that God has given you and put it to good use. Always remember, God has given us something to shout about, so never be ashamed of your faith, but step up to whatever God has called you to!
Michelle: YOU! Haha it feels so long since I last saw you but I know I'll see you soon! You haven't been able to come church much, but I hope that'll change in the coming year! :) You've one more year in NY, and this one year is the last chance that you have to leave a legacy in NY, so use it wisely! :) Always remember, NY for Christ! Don't let anything make you doubt this :)
Nicholas: Hey! You've sort of just joined the cell, but from today I can see that you're really fitting in well! Hopefully as you continue to come for church and cell, we'll continue to bond more yeah :) I know that God can use you, and although sometimes that's quite hard to believe, those are just lies from the devil. God will raise you up with all that he's given you, so just go with the spirit's flow and step into the great plans God has for you :)
Pamela: My bus buddy! Thanks for all the rides back and all the joy you've given to me, I truly believe that although you always ACT shy, there's something in your heart that's bursting and you've really gotta let it out, that's God! :) Don't let anyone look down on you, but take up your cross and follow after Jesus, and fulfil his destiny for you :) Jesus loves you much!
Persis: You're really a mighty prayer warrior to this cell, and don't ever doubt it! It's time to stop looking at others and admiring them, but it's time to start stepping up to all God has called you to, and I believe he has great plans for you. It's time to write your own testimonies! Use all this that God has given you to bless those around you, and always remember there's nothing too impossible for God. :D Have maniwala!
Rachel: My other MHS groupie! I know that you are really faithful to God, just know that he'll honor this! Always believe in him and not things of this world. Be a God chaser, not a man chaser! Turn your eyes upon Jesus and all will be well. There's nothing too great or too small for God to handle, so just surrender to him and all will be well :)
Renia: It's been a great blessing to too, see how God's love has flourished in your life. Through camp, services :) I know that he has great stuff in store for you in the coming year. :) You're a really strong girl and I admire that. May God continue to honor this unwavering and growing faith you have in him. Always remember that when things seem to be all going wrong and you feel like there's nowhere to run, there's always Jesus and Central 2!
Shaun: My other bus buddy! It's been awesome getting to know you even better this year. :) I know that sometimes things may not happen as we pray for, but always know God has his timing. God is the boss, God is in charge, there's no way that our plans can beat his, so just smile and know that at the end of the day, God's got your back. :) May his peace always follow you wherever you go. :D
Shuling: I've really been impacted by the way God has worked in your life. (: Just know that sometimes when we're hurt we just have to let it go. There's no use holding on to things that weigh you down. Give it all to Jesus, for his yoke is light. When you're tired or lonely there's always God and there's no doubting that. Let God's love always be your joy and strength. Central 2 loves you!

Alright C2, that's all of you. :) As we step into 2009, I hope that this year God will bring our cell to a whole new level, and I know he will. It's been a joy and honor to be in Central 2! And I shall end off with an old song!

God will make a way, when there seems to be no way.
He works in ways we cannot see, he will make a way for me.
He will be my guide, hold me closely to his side.
With love and strength for each new day, he will make a way.

Always remember, one step at a time with Jesus :) I'm always here if any of you should need me. Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Thanks for this awesome year, I love you guys alot :)

Jayna.
