CARE GROUP TIME
I am well aware that this is a blog, not a forum or discussion room.
I am also aware that not everyone visits this blog regularly BUT! I would like to ask all Amity Glow brothers and sisters, what is the best time to have care group, really? For you? Dont mind others first, just comment here about the most convenient time for you, and we'll see if we can come up with something. Just tell the best time and day for you :)
Let us find an appropriate time where we ALL can meet regularly! Thanks! :)

Today.
Today I experienced God.
Bible Conference with the theme 'Moving In The Spirt', a first did not catch my attention. I thought that, what is this whole thing about? I have a lot of things to do also wor... >< And Jessie was pestering me, 'go la go la' =.= Ernest even registered my name without my knowledge.. i'm like, okaaay... And so i went. God opened my eyes to see what was wrong.
All this while, to confess, I never feel satisfied with my Bible sharing during CGs. I always felt that something was wrong,something lacking.. Skills? Experience? Materials?
In fact, I cried just now. Why? Because I was devastated by the fact that suddenly everyone has something to do and having CG sounds like a burden now.. Some sick, some have work to do, some already had duty last week i dont want to burden them again this week... I felt very heavy and sad... I planned to revise for test but suddenly my 'boss' called and wanted a meeting with advisor..i am also sick, not yet fully recover from the flu i got since Bible conference... GOSH, everything is like burying me ><
But Praise God... I think He wants me to feel the pressure before He'll help me open the relieve valve huh... I just tebalkan muka and asked Mel to do games, Belden to chair again for this week and requested Javier to play guitar... And well, everyone said ok.. I breathe a bit and tried my best to pray and prepare for Bible sharing n Praise and Worship..
Guess what? Everything actually turned out okay.. although i spent like dunno how much money on sms-ing people to join Amity Glow for fellowship and only 4 people turned up, i was satisfied. And I think I know why... You might be wondering why i talked about the BC and then suddenly jumped to the CG pulak, it was because something i relaized during Bible Conference changed my attitude towards something. I realized that the pastors that preached, they hardly look at the notes, yet they can fluently spell out evrything they say, and still sound so good, convincing and full of God! How can it be?? And God showed me, I did not experience that while sharing the Word of God is because I wasnt moving in the spirit all this while. I tried to use my own so-called wisdom and strength to prepare and do the sharing. That's why i always felt weird and dry. So just now, I decided to pray, write minimally and let GOD do the talking. And it felt good. Praise God!
Another thing. I also wanna thank Javier, Mellissa and Belden, for giving me a hand when i need them most. I experienced what AVAILABILITY really means. And I cannot be grateful enough,for all of you, making today's fellowship a really good one.
I am looking forward to more fellowship time... Dont make it an obligation, make it a time for fellowship, friendship and buidling relationship with GOD, shall we? :)

The PreNight Prep
So we were assembled together at six in the evening, on a cloudy yet slightly hazy Thursday evening. Teck Kiong being tonight's faithful driver of a Toyota classical van, fetched Mellissa and Daphnee on the way out, with me being the last to hop in. We were on a mission to bring back food and various supplies for our once a year 'BBQ NiGHT' - safe and sound. The ride was a warm drive into the setting sun. In fact, too warm - the van's engine really heated up the seats in the front that even Teck Kiong had to adjust his bottom from time to time xD
We arrived at one of Teck Kiong's place-to-be-dinning-in-Ipoh (sorry Teck Kiong I forgot the name of the place you mentioned :P) It's a place with a whole row of food stalls ranging from this to that. So we got a table and placed our orders at individual stalls. I ordered beef noodle. Not like it has any relation to special but still I enjoyed it :D Teck Kiong got himself a nice bowl of Wanton noodles, while Daphnee got a "West Malaysia's kolo mee" and Mellissa with assorted fishballs and stuffs in soup. (Ok, I'm not sure with the names of the food, again sorry guys xD) Teck Kiong in the mean time shed us some light on what are the challenges in the church do you think is worth looking into? This got us thinking for awhile. But the rest of the details are yet to be released!
When we noticed we were abit lagging behind our schedule with the finger pointing at eight, we shifted to our next destination ->Tesco! Teck Kiong had to run an errand at Jusco so he paradropped (scratch that), dropped* us at Tesco's parking lot, shut the engines and walked to Jusco. Mellissa, Daphnee, and I head for Tesco's entrance and stepped in to start searching for items to load up the cart. Since Daphnee and Mellissa were in charge of Food & Beverages, they got to their gameplan which looked alot like a shopping list and off they go hunting. I on the other hand moved to the stationery section in search of worthy decorating materials. After some fussy wondering of what type of double tapes or papers to select, I decided that I was going to need backup on deciding the relevant materials. So I went to help the girls out with their shopping duty for the time being.
Fortunately, I managed to find them at the cold storage department where they were hand picking chicken wings. To their disappointment, the pieces were not that fresh as expected. So they tried with their best of intuitions to pick what seemed the remaining last of the freshes. Daphnee assigned me to find paper cups, plastics cutleries and alumimium foil. Mellissa was off to gather veges. After managing them, we regrouped to pick watermelons (since the honeydews were off the scale of freshness) and yea, we had no idea on how to choose a good one. We were in a state of confusion on deciding which to bring back home. Mellissa escaped this ordeal by taking duty of the next item to grab on the shopping list :P Daphnee and I were left to observe an aunty nearby tapping the melons with her knuckles and listening closely. We decided to follow and found rather unhelpful results xD So we went for round and heavy. Daphnee insisted that I should follow my intuition after I picked one up which I thought was round enough. Owell, hope it's fresh :D
While Mellissa is still in search of groceries, we returned to the frozen department to collect some chicken. We even bought some chicken breasts after calculating that probably thirty chicken wings were not enough to feed a crowd of fifty. After that, Daphnee received a call from Teck Kiong. I guess that meant we did not have much time left. So we gathered at the cashier to meet up with Mellissa. But nope, the supply gathering was not yet over. There were still stationeries to gather! In order to save time, we splitted up - Daphnee going for the cashier while me and Mellissa headed off to the stationery section. Picking the double tapes was easy enough. But when it came to picking the right type of papers to use for poster, nametags and such, it became much of a dilemma. After much debate, and a phonecall from Teck Kiong, we went for a pack of Manila Cards to fit all our needs. Then, of course we got some balloons (can't roll a party without them :D)
Just when we thought we were really late, we found Teck Kiong downstairs relaxing on a chair at the food court, happily chewing away on a Roti Boy he bought. "You guys want some?" was his reaction. Haha! So we loaded up the van and be on the way to church to get some chairs. Brother Chee Lim was well enough to come open the church for us in the middle of the night at 10.30pm. Well, we did not manage to get chairs from the church since they were too bulky so we went over to Chee Lim's house to get some compact ones. At least Mellissa found some more deco materials at the church while we were there.
So after bidding the night to Bro Chee Lim, we ride our way back to UTP. Dark was the night, but cool enough to soothe away the heat from the van's engine that burns up the front seats. Teck Kiong also told me he dared not drive too fast at night because of a certain fear - the fear of cows. To explain it in more detail, cows do sometimes cross the roads from out of nowhere. So Teck Kiong played safe by slowing down on certain dark areas. On one occassion he drove in the middle of a double lane and asked "You know why I'm doing that?" I replied, "Erm, nope. Why?"
Then he answered,"So that when things happen, I can choose to swerve left or right" I laughed at his good precaution steps and replied,"Oh, I thought you wanted to show that you're King of the Road." xD
We reached UTP at around 11.35pm. Actually planned to do decorations with Mellissa after coming back, but due to a long night's trip of searching for supplies, we decided to hit the hay early and prepare the following morning for the best of energy and mind rest. Other than that, hope the BBQ NiGHT goes smoothly. In time to come!
