Look back after entering Single Ministry for 10 months



Open this life book on 20 Nov 2015 Fri

By fall of 2014, when Cherie entered her campus and lived at St. John’s Hall.  I felt it’s time for me to move on.  What was I short of then?  It’s courage to face change : whatever changes they are in family or my spiritual life.  I need a push and a prompt to change.  So I remembered the book The Princess Who Believed in Fairy Tales read in 2004 (?).  It’s the princess who dreams of living a happily forever life with her prince as depicted in fairy tale.  In the story, she did but life changed sour and her prince/husband changed.  When her prince deserted her, she broke down and was advised to walk and move on bravely to seek the truth of life that sustains her.

So I used the title for my BT aim and of course mine for 2015.  With the same gut, I jumped out of my comfort zone and moved to singles ministry in early 2015.  Praise God!  Two other sisters joined me and here we started a new bt : CSI since this Feb. 

We set 3 important things as 3C:-
1.           Connection (with God & hence sisters/brothers); Sandy
2.           Confession and repentance (admit our limitations & stay humble); Connie
3.          Conviction to advance with a refreshed surge of energy. Iris

We spot 3 obstacles that hinders our spiritual growth:-
1.           Loose connection with God (more prayers & QT)
2.           Busyness (preoccupied with worldly matters) : time management/prioritize
3.          Wrongly prioritize : Others before God

Our Love Language (done in July/August 2015):-
1.           Connie :-  1st Quality Time (9); 5th receiving gift
2.           Sandy:-  1st  Quality Time/Act of Service (8); 5th receiving gift
3.          Iris:-  1st Physical touch (7);  5th receiving gift
