It is my spiritual birthday on August 5th 2009. I am 3 years old and going; gonna run the race to the end with my fellow brothers and sisters. First let me give a brief background of myself, we may just know each other by name or how old are we but i guess it is important to know each other lives deeeply. i will then take the honor to be the first :)

I received Christ in my life 3 years back, i was brought in by a sister in NYP Group at that time, now SMU Group. My conversion took place when i attended the second time of service. I was transferred to NS Group the following week and started my journey there. Jeremy was my CL and my shepherd at that time. Eilton and Donald were in my group that time. i could not quick find myself to be able to have a common topic to the caregroup at that time and i felt so left out. I know the only way to be able to join them in conversation is to know more about WOG. I tried being enthusiastic about it but it was to no avail. I backslided. I found my life quite interesting in the world, i was totally tempted and sucked into the world of sins. My Attendance in class was comparable to the number of public holidays singapore has. I could game all day and thought having a religion was a total waste of time. After a while, i felt bored. I wanted my saturdays to be filled, like what the first ESS actually potrayed. Keeping myself occupied, i wanted activites after activities. That was the sole reason to why i went back to church. After a while, i felt weary of this routine thing about caregroup, shepherding, services. At that time, i was just transfered to Sim group, it was refreshing to me and i decided to hang on. But after a while, i backslided again. That time SIM1 and SIM2 were a caregroup itself. I stopped contacting the caregroup, ignored smses, phone calls, missed calls. I needed a break. and the whole cycle starts again, i was sucked into the world again being who i am comfortable being. I was having fun outside in the world then i started to pondered upon myself. Do i have a purpose? Am i feeling empty inside? Then it was then, i wanted to give Christ one last try. Because at that time point i was tired of this whole thing but despite my condition of the heart i decided to came back. It took me a lot of courage coming back knowing people will question about my faith in Him and also how am i suppose to answers the questions that i know i have no answers for it. I came back, tried very hard to bond w the group like how i was bonded in the past, i could not. I felt left out, lonely. Matric season came, i was appointed AGL? and i was comfortable leading people although i look hesitant on the outside, deep inside i was delighted. I love people, i want to lead people! I am comfortable doing this role, i was like YES INSIDE MY HEART. The whole matric season was tiring, energy taxing but i perservere! prayers and my desire kept me going. Indeed God has been faithfull to me, He has indeed opened me a path back to my my caregroup during this process. I was very happy after the whole season. I kept my fire burning, my desires growing everyday. I want this child like faith to never disappear in my heart because i never want to leave my Father again. People, i have come thus far, not in terms of my spiritual life but the experiences i have been through. I tell you, God has a way when all else fails. His grace for us is sufficient. He is a very forgiving Father even when we fail him time and time again. Most importantly, His love is extraordinary, unfailing, unconditional and lasting. I really wanna thank Him when i am up in heaven. This third year is very special, im thankful for the SIM Unit for who i am today as well. Bubbly and cheerful, yet biblical! Im so proud to be part of this generation of SIM people. Lets run this race together okay, i hope to continue this race for as long as i can. :) Oh btw, brothers, thank for you the book, Purpose driven life. I hope to find my purpose here! and the cake, thank you very much i was shocked when i saw it! im just speechless. (i dont know if i left out anything in my whole 3 years, but this shoule be more or less about it, sorry if i miss out any by accident and being brief in my speech)
