Finally got my Title! haha. CG Retreat @Pasir Ris 18-20 Nov

(Back Posting) : 2 weeks since I blog. anyway,
many or few things has passed. Had my CG's retreat from 18-20th Fri nite -Sun morning, at Holiday Flats Pasir Ris, courtesy or Qiu Yan's mum. at a very low price.
What i enjoyed most was the relaxing greenery from the window, the park, the play ground! and the quality time spent with the sisters (although very little) and the rest as a CG. Quite fun actually. BBQ was great.. seeing how Jarain, Shireen they all came up with the menu, got everything ready, got the guys to buy stuffs - travelled to White Sands together , and then I left for Turbo Group session at RIver Valley min house unfortunately but timing was ok..
came back and everyone was eating and food was cooking. Quite amazed..(reason below)
and at the end of the whole thing, felt it was wonderful and the objectives of the little Retreat was met..

coming CG (which is today) should be on reflection of the CG Retreat..(but found out at CG it's not! (William don't simply anyhow disseminate wrong info!!!!!!)(but it was good change for me to charge myself to reflect. Coz reflection is not my full time habit. which w/o it many things may pass by without me making sense of, capturing or learning from it) :)

so i got myself to reflect.. or tried to.. okie.
so the 2 Objectives set was:
1) Revitalise our relationship with Jesus Christ!
2) Reenergize our relationship with one another

Upon reflecting on this two things
the 2nd objective was what i could easily recall intially.

and felt the relationship and fellowship atmosphere was very positive and different the last time we were together for extended period of time (altough this wasn't fully extended for everyone.
3 points:
Unity (waiting for one another etc. ),

care (Service- BBQ- cooking, Gavin - Worship song prep and help singing, Qui Yan..calling Jarain, blanket) and etc.

love (tolerance-despite being complained.)
just short pointers here. no time to elaborate yet. was thinking of affirming ppl on CG blog..re-consider/see if i manage to

then i tried to reflect upon the 1st Objective -my relationship with Christ during and through the retreat.. eh.. how come can't really think of.. But few days later (only last night i recalled something..)

- the distinction between my relationship with God and ministry (The 'spiritual' things i do for Him and busy myself with). It just dawn upon me as i felt myself taking a step back on Sunday morning.. attending the morning SubD prayer meeting at Singtel Comm care (where Tricia works!!! haha. Many a times i felt i was just too pre-occupied doing things for God and trying to accomplish them, that my relationship with Him is rather neglected or dry.. not deep.. although i do communicate with HIm. Maybe it's the little quiet time a spent on Saturday morning (when i woke up pretty early, before 7am! when QiuYan have to leave for work and I woke up and can't sleep any more. even though i slept 3AM plus that nite. The pillow was uncomfortable. But didn't bother to change it to something else (my portable pillow!)That morning, just took out the bible again and sat down, cool peaceful morning, with windows open, the grass and greenery outside..
how nice.. haven't done this for a long time and actually miss it.
and actually i was trying to seek God and piece my Worship songs together!! had been doing that since 1am plus the night before!!

poor apple . see me playing guitar before sleeping and waking her up with guitar in the morning..:P as if i'm a guitar freak..

pardon me!
(think my Spirit's not very right.. as if angry with something and have bitterness like that, the way or things i'm writing..)
