mid-retreat

It's 0441 hours, and I still can't sleep. I'm gonna be zonked out tomorrow...

Right now, I'm at GoogleGod Retreat held at Keith's place at Bishan. Everyone is sound asleep in the attic. On my left is Keith, and on my right is Eunice, and scattered everywhere is everyone else. We had a great dinner cooked by the girls, fellowship, and then worship. We played telephone pictionary which is a really awesome form of pictionary! haha.

I can really see God's work in this small group. Honestly, at first, I did not see much hope in us. We did not have much in common, and we seemed so different. However, now after about 3 months, we're having our first retreat, and I must say that I've made a few close friends! Praise God!

On Tuesday, the leaders of the group met up to organize the retreat, and one of the things that we decided to do was to fast and pray for our mission and vision. Joyce said that she felt Philippians 2: 15 was what God was telling her was the theme for this small group. Interestingly, while I was having breakfast yesterday, I looked up and there was a note from Hui telling me to shine like stars! Wow!

Philippians 2: 15 says "so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe."

I am very excited to see what God has in store for GoogleGod and I believe that He will reveal more to us tomorrow! Right now, I really need to fall asleep. It's 0453, and we've to reveille at 0730!
