The Beautiful Wedding

Saturday

Pris and Stephan's wedding is so sweet and touching! You won't believe how many times I teared during the church ceremony!

It was indeed a privilege to be their worship leader. Seeing how God is sovereign and faithful in their relationship really encourages me. The love of God and the fear of the Lord is really exemplified in their love for each other and His people.

Their dinner at Grand Shanghai's great too! The ambience is nice, the food is served in individual portions, music's old school reminiscent of the old Shanghai (also provided by Thmmay, the DJ for the night) and Andrea and Shawn make really good emcees! The couple also did the traditional waltz in their Chinese costumes! The celebration of the unification of a couple who overcame physical, cultural and spiritual boundaries!

Sunday

Had a fantastic lunch with some of my cell girls, and a guy. =) For some reason, Julia and gang won't able to make it for cell lunch, so it was Gayle, Rachel, Beatrice and Reuben. Think it was really divine intervention coz Pastor Stanley, Gayle's dad, spoke to me on Friday, after the tertiary cluster meeting, about the group dynamics within my current cell. The girls weren't motivated to come for cell because they don't feel comfortable, with the other group dominating the discussions (if we had any) during bible study.

Was really glad to be able to spend time talking to the "quieter ones" during lunch! It might sound wierd, but they're actually pretty normal kids! =P Heh.. I totally enjoyed it! (I wonder of they did as well..=)) I found that Gayle and I shared a common love for sweet stuff and she introduced me to Fried Mars Bar. Rachel spoke more during the outing than she had ever before during cell. Beatrice opened up so much! And Reuben is just a really sweet dude.

I've noticed this problem within the cell and have been trying to give more attention to Rachel and group. I don't know how else I can solve this besides splitting the cell and praying like crazy.

I do believe that differences can be overcome. Sounds idealistic, doesn't it?

God, I can't do this alone. I need You!
