Hi my dearest i just posted an entry privately...have a read and any UPDATES from all you girlies pls fill the entries!! it's been 'dusty and rusty' for awhile..

I moved into my new house! It's beautiful..it's HUGE! Enough room to have caregroup retreat. I'm good but still adjusting to being back in Melb once again..haha. This coming from someone who once wanted to never leave Melb. :p i'm really missing all of u. Come back! Hehe. Sigh...My stars ala TLG style are missing..but nevermind. I'm sure u guys are shining wherever u are..bright as can be. I pray that u will be blessed Continually in the abundance of His love and peace..keep growing into those beautiful women of God that u all are. Hugs!

Dear all, I hope that all of you have been doing good :) well, as oli mentioned in her post...we've all moved on and I hope we've all moved towards the better. Yeap, its going to be almost a year since I started working..and I've been through a few stages... the stage of struggling between the world and following his path. Its definetely much easier to fall in the ways of the evil one... But God's promise for me have always been so true and faithful. His promise of never letting me go even when I am in the verge of letting go is one that has been so evident in my life. I've come to a point to realize that this true joy can only be found in following Jesus, listening to his spirit and walking by his words. and this have to happen at a conscious level..every minute of my life. TImes where i stumble or not hear that still small voice are times where i felt so terrible.

Things between chiwern and I are going well too. We've had our rough edges but we're working it out. He's been absolutely patient with me during times where it was so hard to go through..where i looked into the mirror and cannot bear even being with myself...he's been there with me through the way. :) Well...i woudl not omit the times where he almost broke my heart into pieces! 

Well, life's been alright... through the good and the bad, i do still think of the times we've spent together... and how we've encouraged through the way..through the misunderstandings, the tears, the joy, the pain, the loving times, I still thank God that he placed each and everyone of you in my life..that I may learn to realize how truly precious friendships are...despite the distance.

Peri and Susan has been in constant contact with me and they have been a great encouragement even in my walk here. And at times, when we talk, they make me miss them and all the things in melbourne so much! I pray I would be able to pop by soon! :) Maybe we should go back there for our honeymoon in future! :) Hopefully I would still be able to catch a glimpse of the old Hope Melbourne when I return :)

But, I still like to seize this opportunity to thank God for each and every one of you. You've truly made a difference in my life.

And for those of you who are having exams... i'm praying for you and do know that it is all in his hands! :)

I love u!

With Hugs and Kisses,
Chin Ling

On Sunday, as Ps Simon was preaching his sermon, my mind suddenly began to remember all the days we had together...those 'together' moments in Campuswalk, Pancake Parlour, BBQs, beach, caregroup, GRAMPIANS, praise and worship, girls' fellowship dinner & sharing, praying together, conventions, star gazing...all came crashing into my mind. I especially was reminded of you, Chin. I remember the days when you first came and when you first started opening up your life to me...I was encouraged to see how you stood up for what you believed in and did not succumb to peer pressure...And what followed is quite an amazing turn of culture as you became the "INFLUENCER" who changed the culture of the group...you know, not many have this gifting. Thinking back now, it really was quite amazing!! From you having to resist to join others to go clubbing and drinking, it turned around to ppl joining you to go church instead...And YOU made the difference, Chin. I remember how this little girl would fervently call as many visitors as possible 'herself' and was so convincing in convincing them to come to church or caregroup...All that was needed was the Chin Ling "Come lahhhhh!" I remember how Chin cared for everyone...giving time to those who needed her. Often, she craved for more personal time, yet others were always placed ahead of herself/her own needs. Thank you for touching my life and many others.

And my thoughts began to drift to the times where we were spending time doing different things together...I couldn't help but smile because those very moments were reflective of the sermon that Ps Simon was preaching on - about the kind of Spirit that a church should have...Wait! Lemme check. Yes, the title of the sermon was "Elements of Good Spirit" (Phil 2:19-24). Particularly, there was a part when pastor descrived the characteristics of a 'Family':

1) Closeness; Oneness We were very close...doing all kinds of things, whether in church/cg or outside church/cg. Our actions were consistent of a caring community, which determined the spiritual atmosphere of the caregroup and relationships.

2) Strong cooperation It was not a huge effort to build closeness in caregroup. We loved to tie each other up as much as possible and do things together. And whenever we did things together, no matter how tiring, we did it together. And there was always so much joy in each others' company. It was refreshing...really! There really was a 'different' synergy then.

3) Able to resolve differences and unite... At this point, i began to feel sad for many who left us and fell away. It's very difficult to recall those times following the amazing year we had together as 'Crosswind'. Even until today, I wish things could have been different. Yet, I guess all things work out for its reasons. Perhaps we may not be where we are now if things had not happen as it did. God is in control. He is holding each of our lives even now....We've all learned to lean more on our God.


Dearest Chin,

On your birthday, I pray that God will continue to mould you into His beautiful Princess...whose beauty in the Lord will continue to shine and attract many to the love of Jesus. I hope that you will continue to discover your call in Him even as you walk with Your Father, intimately, each day. I pray and hope that you and Chi will be a power-couple for Jesus...in whatever way He uses you.

AHHHHHH! Just read your update on your blog. Congrats Pastor Oh! Really very happy for you! * sniff sniff *
