weekend connection! dreams! D - Desire, R - Research, E - Enterprise, A - Association, M - Mastery
 
are we just chasing dreams of illusion or God given visions and dreams? we're just human beings with extraordinary dreams that some people says its impossible to achieve.

heh. im not going to type the entire sermon here in my blog=P but, if your interested, drop me message and i'll be more then willing to send you the sermon notes. =D

thank God that i arranged to meet my friends at 9.30am~ most of us were late and when we finally met up, we only had to wait 5 minutes for the shuttlebus =D it's pretty weird as i've got 3 different groups of friends with me. waikeong and yongjie are my secondary school friends, serene is my classmate and patricia is my basketball friend~ between them, there isn't much common interests and there were silence between the 2 girls~ lolx=P

bought them to meet up with the cellgroup - charmaine, melanie and peiling. we walked down the stairs and queued at b3~ i was pretty glad as that meant that we would be getting seats in the auditorium~ tEehEe~

somehow, we got separated when we entered the audtorium and i bought my friends around to look for them. well, i could not find them and we settled down at the seats that we found~ when i could finally get through charmaine's phone, we realised that we were at opposite ends of the auditorium~ loLx=P there were insufficient seats on both sides, so we decided to seat separately~

during this period of time, i was briefing my friends, telling them what to expect and what would they see, hear and experience~ lolx~ i wanted them to expect something to happen, instead of realising that something would happen when the service starts~

service started and there were special performances~ there was a guy with a turntable, mixing the music. there was dance and even pyrotechnics! lastly, there was a drama performed by the drama ministry~ it was all nicely executed~ i had a great time watching~ =D

Pastor Kong came on stage and gave his sermon~ DREAMS
 
before Pastor Kong called for the altar call, i felt the Holy Spirit prompting me to pray. i started to pray for my friends and when the altar call was given, i felt a sense of assurance, delight and excitment. when Pastor Kong called those that responded to step out to the front, i saw patricia rushing to go forward~ then, i asked yongjie and waikeong if they want to receive Christ, but they didn't want to. so, i turned to serene. when i asked her, she gave me a HUGE smile and stepped out~ praise the Lord~!!
 
i led both girls out to the front and i wanted to pray for them. but 2 other cellgroup leaders took them and prayed for them~ so i made my way back to my seats and prayed for yongjie~ i was being told by someone else to pray for him~ lolx=)

squeezed my way to the front and found the 2 girls, writing their particulars and praying silently with the 2 cellgroup leaders~ it sort of reminded me when i was at the front, doing the same thing as they are.

i was pretty blur and i didn't know whats going on. but i knew that i've made a decision in my life and i can never be the same again =)

after we got back to our seats, i had a chat with serene. she told me that when she was being prayed for, she could sense something in her and its something she never experienced before! i'm sure its the Holy Spirit filling up her heart, moving in her! amen!! praise the Lord!!
 
the same goes to patricia!! praise the Lord!!
 
we went to the riveria for fellowship and we went to collect hotdogs and icecreams for them~ in the end, the entire cellgroup was eating hotdogs and icecream together~ loLx=P

then, patricia and i headed to jurong and had lunch together~ serene, yongjie and waikeong went to jurong entertainment center for a session of ice skating~ loLx=P had a great time chatting with patricia, got to know her better and learnt about her church~ =P

but, both serene and patricia would be joining us for services and cellgroup meetings in the future!! thats if they're free=) praise the Lord!!
 
i can't wait for next week's service!! Pastor Mike Connel. a man of God who moves powerfully in the Spiritual - deliverance, healings and great science and wonders=) -hops-

i had a vision, a thought as i was heading home. God's going to use Serene in a great way, to reach out to our classmates. as she begins to share about her experience in CHC, it would cause an impact in her friend's lives and cause them to desire that experience. praise the Lord...
