OBC

I can't take it!

I really want to express my joy and love for my beloved OBC brothers and sisters.

I know that I expressed my feeling for them and posted pictures on the January blog page, but I really do love them wholeheartedly.

God gave me this love...to love Him 'cause He first loved us.

As time is passing by, youth members are graduating one by one.

Technically, I can say that me and Daniel Chow were the first people in the youth who graduated from the youth.

Mable was supposed to be the first one, but she left when she was grade 11 and never came back...I prayed that she's doing well.

At first, I didn't know anybody.

Watching the kids and youth running down the stairs to chew on some refreshments after the Chinese Service.

I used to be in the Chinese Congregation and never went to the youth because I was too "cool" for them.

I didn't know anybody so it felt very weird for me to be there.

As time goes on, God keeps bringing people for me to know and talk to.

Now that I've graduated from High School, what was next?

I stayed at the youth group for another year because I can't stand living without them.

But as time goes back, they start graduating...and quarter of the people I grew up with for 5 years ( I went to OBC for 6 years) are heading their own ways...actually it's God's way.

As people graduating, more freshmen comes in.

The size of the youth is always around 10 people or more.

Now that the older ones are gone, little ones are less commited to be involve.

I know that God will strengthen them in the future, and continually maturing their faith and personality.

It's just like us...the graduates...weak and lost in the beginning, but we're still walking around not knowing what we're doing.

We are grown ups and have the sense of idea of the world that we're living in.

However, there are tons of time that Satan would tempt us.

I can fall for him.

God really did changed me through OBC.

I want to ummm....give my appreciation to my brothers and sisters...although there's alot...heh.

 

Pastor Jeff: You helped me realize many things in life. Looking out the lake and see where God is really affected me. Even though you're gone to other place to serve God, I pray that He will continue to call on you.

 

Masao: Thanks for teaching me tons of things when I was still young through Sunday School. Thanks for taking your time to listen to me for more than an hourwhen I was depress or in need of someone to talk to.

 

Vania: Thanks for your integrity and your commitment to serve in the youth. I know that you've worked really hard to serve God, but now may God bless you as you rest. Thanks for being mean to me when I was being big and stuff...yeah.

 

Angel: Thanks sister. God really used you to change my life. Sorry for the things I've done in the past that made you and I feel isolated. I was foolish, but I thank you for forgiving me. May God bless you and Caleb through your walk with our Lord.

 

Jackie: Thanks for entertaining the youth with your enthusiasm. You really do have a burning and passion heart for God. You always make us laugh. Pray that God will give you wisdom as you continue along the road with God.

 

Eliza: You are one of the biggest jokes in my life! JOKING! I love you sister! Thank you for being my wonderful little sister and "entertaining" me with your piano skills. May God keep using you to serve Him through your talent that God gifted you. PS: I really want to bite your shiny nose.

 

Dom: You're one weird looking guy sometimes when I first met you. Now, you're a Sargent! Keep flying my friend. May you know our Lord Jesus Christ deeply and understand His eternal love for us. God Blesss you.

 

Scott: Where are you these days? Anyhow, you and Dom should fight more often now since you guys are grown ups. I still remember that day you kicked Dom's stomach. May you also discover more about Jesus Christ and know Him personally. Keep seeking His face.

 

Marga: Sorry for being "cool" when I was young. Now that I think of it, you're a grown up person, although there's no changes there. Keep worshiping through dancing and singing to our God! May God Bless you.

 

Christina: Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you. I pray that you'll discover more and more about our Mighty God who is Mighty to Save. Hope that you and Billy will get along and become Godly parents. Keep seeking!

 

Steve: Oh my, I nearly forgotten you! You're growing taller and taller these days...Although you're still young in your faith, but I pray that God will reveal Himself to you because He did do it in my experience with Him. Keep reading His words and you'll discover more about His love.

 

These are...really the people I grew up with when I was grade 9 or 10 until I graduated.

Now I have Pastor Jason to look after me and blowing my mind through his lessons.

 

John: Although you and I didn't know each other very well until I was grade 12, but I really thank you for leading me to Christ and to know Him personally through our own discipleship time. Thank you.

 

hmm...today April Fool's day....oh well.
