hey peeps. (: this is part of the song (Worlds Apart) and I think it's really meaningful, you can listen to it 500times and the words would seem to speak to you more than the last. ask me for the song if you want! :D

Worlds Apart -Jars of Clay

I look beyond the empty cross,

forgetting what my life has cost

and wipe away the crimson stains

and dull the nails that still remain

More and more I need you now,

I owe you more each passing hour

the battle between grace and pride

I gave up not so long ago

So steal my heart and take the pain

and wash the feet and cleanse my pride

take the selfish, take the weak,

and all the things I cannot hide

take the beauty, take my tears

the sin-soaked heart and make it yours

take my world all apart

take it now, take it now

and serve the ones that I despise

speak the words I can't deny

watch the world I used to love

fall to dust and thrown away

-Gloria! :D

hello!!!! CF-ers...this is the devotion jackie and i(joyce) did on thursday 180107...

Today, we are going to talk about feeling loved and accepted. One of the things that we must deal with as we grow up is the lies that come into our minds masquerading as the truth. Such examples are “I am not loved”, “I am not attractive” or “I am not accepted. Eventually, these lies grow in us as we move on into adulthood.
The opposite of being loved and accepted is being rejected-something which I’m sure that all of us have experienced at one time or another in our lives. When faced with rejection. Some people let these incidents roll off their backs because they know that there are always people somewhere who will accept them. Others, however, may bear deep emotional wounds from incident after incident of rejection. So they start to harbour a lack of acceptance that can sometimes transform their personalities into something ugly.
Acceptance brings out the best in each and every person. Rejection, on the other hand, brings out the worst. A person who already feels rejected may sometimes view everything as rejection- a mere look, a harmless glance or an insignificant action. That person may not actually be rejected but he or she may actually believe that he or she is.
The love of god however, can change all these. Knowing that god loves us and accepts us can change our lives for the better.

Isaiah 41:9 says “I have chosen you and not cast you away.” And Jeremiah 31:3 tells us “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” God proves his love for us by sacrificing his one and only son to die on the cross for us while we were still sinners.
On top of all of that, the bible reassures us that neither Death nor Life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Even as Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, he came down to earth with great compassionate love to everyone, whether saint or sinners and irregardless of our backgrounds. He healed and loved everyone. So likewise, as Children of God, we should love each other not just by speaking but by taking action whenever we can, to show love as action speaks louder than words. Sometimes, people just need a listening ear and an encouraging word from us. By doing that, we are showing love towards them. No matter how small our actions may be, it is still an act of love towards others.
I believe that if everyone makes an effort to show love, God would be pleased with us as we are obeying his word.

hello again!!!hope tat after reading it,u all would be touched!!:D cya!!!

loves:)
jacqueline and joycelek:D

dear all

1) THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for all the effort put in for the CCA Fair on wed.
you all were very cooperative and many even went beyond your duty allocated and helped Ms Kaur with the shifting of tables in the canteen (: thank you for serving the school

2) please pray for the right girls to be allocated into SMSS CF
and also for the Welcome Party on the 1 Feb 2007 - that we'll have a good time getting to know the sec ones and for us to know each other better

3) THERE IS SMSS CF this coming thursday 25 Feb 2007.
Vanessa Quek and Vanessa Koh are in charge
There'll be the "Talk of the Town" segment - lookout for it!
Doulos "Inside-out" programme - Elaine, Eve and Gloria went onboard the Doulos last holiday and they'll be sharing on it!
venue: SJCp Sanctuary
time: 3:30pm- 5:30pm

4) remember that we all went on board Doulos for missions exposure?
Silva Amanda has some thoughts on it!

"11th of November 2006 was a special day, indeed. After all, it was quite rare to be able to visit Doulos, one might even call it a chance of a life time. As expected, we were quite excited to go on this Doulos trip. We had some expectations, a few of them is to see other people of different nationalities, see what activities were carried out onboard of the ship and to gain some things from this experience. Above all else, we wanted to go there with an open mind and heart to be able to receive God’s words.

Personally, when I saw Doulos my first thought was that it was quite big and surprisingly quite modern. It definitely did not fit with the image of the oldest ship in the world. It seemed that the weather was not in a jovial mood for rain started to fall. The rain did nothing to dampen our spirit. Once inside the boat, we were given a brief introduction about several of the Doulos staff. It is fascinating to note that there were over 350 people of over 50 nationalities in the boat.

The first lesson we learned was that 8 out of 10 missionaries were working within a predominantly Christian society. Therefore, we need more people to reach out to those who had not heard of Jesus. After a short presentation, they presented a skit for us. Although there was no dialogue, the skit was full of actions and easy to understand. It talked about how only Jesus can fulfill our lives. Yet another message we received was that God was love. To serve our God, we need to love God. However, to love God we need to let God to love us. Most important of all, when our lives were full of God, there will be no more room for sin. I thought that the messages were very meaningful and what each and everyone of them had said definitely touched our hearts. There was no doubt that they had, in their own way, changed our life. To some it may only be a small change, to others it may be a big change. One thing for sure, our lives had changed for the better.

Afterwards, we had some free time. I chose to go to the book fair. There was a wide variety of books, CDs, accessories and even some games! What I found interesting was their unique pricing system. The price tags showed units instead of currency. Every 100 units were equal to S$4 and every 5 units were equal to 25 cents. There was a coffee bar to purchase some snacks and beverages. The ice cream was delicious! It was a pity that I was not able to find out what happened during the guided tour. No matter, I felt that this trip was a memorable one and we certainly benefited from this trip.
Reflections by Silvia Amanda - 2E6 / 25(2006)

5) thank you for praying for my sister Eunice :)
If you don't see me in the office, I'm either in TTC or home with her.
For those who don't know what she's having
- this is a quick summary~
Condition: Henoch Schonlein Purpura
What it means: Eunice's antibodies and white blood cells made a mistake! they think there's a virus when there isn't one or that they over-reacted and so as a result, damaged her small blood vessels.
What happens: Eunice has red sores which may develop into blisters and then turn purple. her blood vessels are inflammed and her feet and hands swell up. She now has difficulties in walking and has bad and painful muscle aches.
how long will it take? about 1 month
Medication: she's on steroids and painkillers

PRAYER POINTS: please pray that her kidneys will not be affected and that this will NOT return. Her slipped disc operation has been postponed indefinitely

Our God is awesome! loving you all, yahui :)

Who Started Christmas?
Author unknown

A woman was Christmas shopping with her two children.

After many hours of walking down row after row of toys and after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the store elevator with her two children in hand.

She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year, getting that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list,

overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, making sure we don't forget anyone on our card list, and the pressure of making sure we respond to everyone who sent us a card.

Finally the elevator doors opened revealing a crowd in the car.
She pushed her way in and dragged her two kids and all her bags of stuff in with her .

As the doors closed she couldn't take it anymore and blurted out, "Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up, and shot."

From the back of the car, a quiet calm voice responded,
"Don't worry, we've already crucified Him."

The rest of the trip down was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.

Don't forget this year to keep the One who started this whole Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word.

If we all would, just think how much better this world would be.

Jesus is the reason for the season. Wise men still seek Him.

Have a blessed Christmas.

Love,
Cheryl

okay, so now all of you have learnt how to share the Gospel in a NEW way.
SO WHAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK? :D
maybe you're shy, or afraid of the response they give you.
pray to God first, that He'll give you the boldness to share His word's and also to whoever you're sharing with that thy'll have open hearts. (:
GO AND SOW THE FIRST SEEDS IN THEM, one day it'll blossom into a pretty flower!
give your friend or family the ticket to eternal life!
go out and share the joy of having Jesus as your saviour!
for those of you who were absent on that day, feel free to ask anyone to teach you! (:

"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of age."
