greetings!

HEY City on a Hill! Cheryl here..just wanted to drop by the blog and say I miss you guys and i can't wait to see you all for CNY:) and i also wanted to share with you guys the stuff that's been going on in KL for me..

2 weeks of school has gone by. the new semester has been so physically and mentally challenging that sometimes i find it difficult to focus on anything other than studying, eating and sleeping, and i'm starting to feel quite guilty for that. i really thank God for the group of friends that i have in school. early in the holidays last year we were just talking and my friend Tim suggested having a weekly bible study and prayer among the few of us. And i really thank God that plan has finally taken flight this week!

This week we had our first meeting, the 5 of us shared about our individual spritual lives..how we thought it was going and how we can pray for each other. I thought it was pretty cool that we drew up a mission/vision for our group we called Spiritual Bureau. haha..basically it functions as a cell group, but just a small one. i feel that this is such a good platform that God has provided for us to encourage one another and grow together in Christ, as well as to be a group of contagious christians, encouraging the people around us. We decided that this would be our own small ministry in school..Here's what we came up with:



"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm, But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." - Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

God has blessed me with a family away from home, these friends that i can share my ups and downs with..and i'm really thankful for that. I thank Him for helping us to set up our "spiritual bureau". when we stand together as a group, we are not easily broken. guess this is what i wanted to share..that if we as a cell group, City on a Hill can uphold one another in Christ, picking each other up each time on of us falls, we will not be quickly broken :)

[i wanted to say this like when i get back to singapore during cell or smth..but you know la..i'm quite a shy person, i might forget what i want to say if i get nervous. so yea, i decided to type it here! hope this has blessed you in one way or another :) ]

Love, Cheryl
