A "Jeslyn" Song

Everytime i look out the window
I can feel the trace of your presence
Its nothing like I ever felt before

Its all because of you i'm here
You taught me how to love
You changed my life liked the way you made me smile

Chorus:

From then on things were never the same
I felt different top to down
Its you its you
I long to see in my life

But i knew all these moments
Weren't gonna last forever
It was doomed to fail
Like how i looked without you

Where are you
Where are you
Oh my Jeslyn

Back to blogging

Haha! Finally i'm back to blog an entry. After a month of absence(busy+forget), here i am back to this little place. The month of May and June has been exciting. I have been officially in-charge of TP2 for a month now and i had some difficulty handling the people at first. Good frens/buddy like Cecil and such a knowlegaeble brother in the form of Han Yew, it felt awkward.

Have to buck up because my word is not that strong at all due to past laziness and boredom to look through numerous stream of texts. However, one thing i always felt about a leader is someone who is both a friend and guardian to the people. I want to be someone whom people follow not because of authority given to me but because of the love that i exemplify to other people. It can be done.

Many are always barred by heirarchies in church and this church is no different. People tend to think that if you are a leader, you must be special or you are the cream of the crop. This make people strive for the status instead of closeness to God. This is probably a downfall for many people. A leader might possess some qualities that others don't but if doesn't mean that they are the best. God created each and everyone of use uniquely. Some are cut out to be leaders and some are not but there are also other things which a leader can't do or aren't as good as others.

One example would be a project group. The leader might not be as knowlaegable as one member who contributes alot of ideas to the project. But that doesn't mean he's weaker than that member. Everyone has different roles. The leader might not match up in terms of knowledge but he is able to inspire others to acheive goals which is essential. Similarly in church, its not the leader or anyone that is best. We all have a part to play and no part is greater than the other. Leaders are just people whom God caught to guide others. So don't feel sad or jealous if you are not a leader. Aspire to be one but know that everything is in God's plan as well.

To end things off, i feel that God has blessed me with a good project group this sem. Last sem, i found it hard to relate to my group members. They were A-calibur students whom were too much off myself personality wise(i'm not the chiong project type). Even when i tried so hard, things didn't work out well. But thank God. God blessed me with a weak project group this sem. Weak in a sense that it allows me to shine among them this time. Not saying that they are lousy but i have an opportunity to expound my ideas and takes things at a more relaxing pace.

ESS is coming this week! Aiming for 3 non-bs to come. Are you excited?

will *update* soon...this blog is still alive.

The new structure is out.

Hereby announce the 2nd squad members:

Cecil
Hanyew
Zhenming
Yangzhou
Jeremy
Robin

I may not be covenanted to some of you but i will pledge all i have to this group. Really hope that you guys strive to see ppl cross the line as well. Really happy to have you guys serving together with me! Let's bear with each other's weaknesses and thrive on our potentials.

Perhaps this wasn't that big of a surprise compared to another fellow sister's progression. I'm not like gideon in the first place, someone who turned from a cowardly/self-condemned person to an unlikely hero. Most knew i was gonna be one to assume the role of leadership in the first place and that makes things even more difficult. Living up to others expectations came to my mind. Its stressing when people have high expectations of you.

But after thinking through, i realised that i shouldn't be doing what i'm doing to live up to ppl's expectations. What i'm doing i'm doing it for God and not man to see. Hence, all this pressure doesn't seem neccessary to succumb to.

May i not be someone who only exuberates charisma and nothing deep but be someone who inspires others to perspire to see ppl crossing the line. Seeing the potential and not weakness in everyone is something i learnt today from nel's teaching.

The week ahead is gonna be exciting. New cg members joining TP2. Whoever it is, gonna welcome them with love. However, i will miss the guys leaving TP2 as well. haha seeya!

Back from camp!

"i gotta do wat i gotta do". A simple sentence which changes my life somewhat.

TP2

me
jon lee
jon liu
cecil
qingcai
zhenming
gabriel
jeremy

I lov u guys. i seek to inspire you guys to perspire as well!

Can see that everyone's motivated after camp but the thing is not to rely on camps or services to inspire/motivate us. It somehow becomes a routine after quite some time. We should be constantly be motivated by God by refreshing ourselves each day to face new challenges.

will update more soon.
