Hey Central 2! Persis here!:)
Well, its been a really really long time since i last saw you guys, and I'm pretty sure most of you know that I'm changing church. Sorry that it took me so long to finally write a post for you all.

well, I am changing church because my parents asked me too, well, initially that was the reason. At first when they told me and my bro that we had to change because they changed and they felt that it would be good for us, do you know how violently we objected to it? I did not want to leave you all. I did not want to miss Megalife. And after that wonderful bond during the June holidays, was it just going to go away like this? I was absolutely against it. when my parents brought me to Heart of God Church, I disliked everything about it-except the sermon and the pastor because they're really good. I disliked the people, I disliked the worship, I disliked the whole place. It was really so hard for me to get away from you all, and writing this post, looking back at the times we spent during camp together, it really makes my heart ache. I'm not being dramatic or anything. 2 years spent together is a long time, and not being able to make it for events like the recent water baptism or Jayna's birthday party makes me feel lousier and lousier, like those times I had with you all were just a dream far away.

I prayed really hard for God to show me where he wanted me to go, and the number of discussions I had with my parents over this matter are just too numerous to count. However, deep in my heart, as I attended more weekend services there, I felt that this really was the place God wanted me to go. I'm sorry guys for the sudden leave, without much notice or anything. It is a very difficult and painful decision for me, but this is what stepping out in faith means, right? This is what honouring my parents mean, right? Though I do not fully understand the reason why I have to change, at such a time as this, and God didn't reveal much to me about the reasons why, I still have to trust him right? So I hope all of you guys will understand that this changing of church, it is my decision. No one forced me to do it, I wasn't influenced by peer pressure or parental pressure, but rather, I believe I am obeying the Lord.

I really love you all so much, and the culture at HOGC is so different from Riverlife that I miss cell so so badly. However, I hope you all will understand my heart and my intentions. I will visit you all ok! And yeah, its not like I'm going overseas like Amberlie. Singapore is such a small country, I'm sure our paths will cross again. I'm so sorry and I love you!!
