all i can say is... WEE~~~ we had
pre cell to cell; cell today, with Clarice,
Odi, Cheryl and I meeting upstairs at the cell area like 2 hours before cell was supposed to begin. Too bad, we are the early "
enders"; so we gathered together to chill/ study/ entertain ourselves as we waited for cell.
But cell was GREAT; today, with almost everyone present: Cheryl (
CereaL), Sheryl,
Odi, Net, Tails,
Mocca,
Gitiong, Clarice, Bro Andrew, Faith and I. Although some came late due to work/ attachment/ other commitments;
heyy, we were a full cell~~~
Net lead us in a real "
destresser" gel; actually, we all displayed our stress in our "high-
ness" (thank God gel started; because before that someone was polluting the air and wouldn't stop *hint* *hint*) with a game of Taboo, with
Odi,
Mocca and I in 1 team (
muahaha, the year 2's) and
CereaL, Clarice and Faith in another (vs the year 1's :P). All the words were really easy to guess; probably because we knew each other too well (like, one of the words was "
Taby", and Faith was like: "BARLEY" to her team) so we guessed each word within less than 30s flat. And we nearly had Mocca do a forfiet (it was the usual for our cell: like, we'd exclaim, "okay! the losing team; Mocca will do the forfieit for you!"), but there was a lack of time, so we saved all his forfiets for the next week. Then we had Glorify; lead by Cereal, and God's hand was evident in the various testimonies we shared; and then there was grow, lead by Net on the buddies of Job; (that faithful fella of God whom the devil tested) like how they encouraged (or discouraged) him with their words in his situation. We learnt about caring and connecting our friends from there, and Clarice shared about how we can encourage our "Job" friends by relating our own experiences to them and talking about how God brought has us through these. And Net went on to talk about how Job's buddies stayed out with him for 7 days and 7 nights while he moaned his immense losses. I mean;
woah, talk bout 7 days and 7 nights; how many of us could have done that today? So Sheryl, Cereal and
Odi (plus Bro Andrew) shared and decided in their small group that they would find a friend to pray with; and they would share that with the cell the next week, and we decided to follow too as a cell. Finally, to round off the whole point of Finding a Need, meeting a Need, Net got Clarice, Faith and I to act out a scene of Clarice, lugging a heavy bag, and Faith and I were to exclaim, "SEE a Need (
exaggerated action of hand over eyes), MEET a NEED (run over and help her carry her bag." But of course, Tails decided to give some of his *ahem* *ahem* opinion, so the cell voted that he did a reanactment of the scene; with Mocca as the "Need-finder"; and they ended off in true Mocca-Tails fashion (all the *ahEm*; brotherly love) Then I lead with prayer; on 2 Sam 6:14-22: David who danced before the Lord despite his status; that like David, we'd all not seek our own glory; but God's. Finally, Odi geared us all up by reminding us all on this cell blog; (inclusive of signature "Odi-dance" and "Odi-egg-laying" *place hands on your hips like a chicken, and stick tummy out*;P) and Net rounded off with the usage of BATTLE PLAN: a tool used to help us target friends to care and connect, and with the annoucement of CHRISTMAS PARTY!~~~~ For those who didn't catch her, it's on the 27th Dec, and Tail's (Tailses?) house, and finally AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: CAMP!!!!!! Matthew 11:12From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it.Btw: CeeZealMozal (etc; can't spell your long and complicated name), hehe, no prob; proud of yah for making realisation that fast. Continue to trust Him yah?
