When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I was lost"
That is why I chose this way.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
And need someone to be my guide.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And pray for strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are all too visible,
But God believes I'm worth it.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I speak His name.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.
When I Say I am a Christian Poem © Carol S. Wimmer
ask yourself today :
what does it mean for me to believe in Christ?
to commit myself to Him?
try writing about God,
who He is to you on your diary, journal today.
let us go back to the basics.
1 John 4:19
"We love because he first loved us."
we are christians, ask us why. =)

THE WISDOM OF CHILDREN
You can't fool the kids in Sunday school, they are way too smart...
'If I sold my house and my car,had a big garage sale,
and gave all my money to the church,
would I get into heaven?'
I asked the children in my Sunday school class.
'NO!' all the children answered.
'If I cleaned the church every day,
mowed the yard,
and kept everything neat and tidy,
would I get into heaven?'
Again the answer was,'NO!'
'Well,'I continued,'then how can I get to heaven?'
A five-year-old boy shouted,'You gotta be dead!'

Hello people! :D
Suddenly I had to mood to upload picts! These are the group photos that we've taken together as a choir in the past!
PS: actually, I edited these photos for ministry madness one, (I only changed the lightings... I don’t have Photoshop to do fantastic stuff. :/) But then cause of me forgetting to submit in these before I had to go for camp, Louis submitted others instead! But I’m sure the choir itself in the photo is more important than the effects that simply enhance it!
our preparation for the pre-Easter service!
and the splendid-looking choir on stage! :D
And my favourite photo is this! I just like the red-ness in this photo. And the fun and loving element in it! :) this was our 2nd choir onstage performance during Christmas service!
and our FIRST ever choir retreat to Sentosa!
and after BEING 00:00, Christmas '06.
Our 2nd choir retreat, at Qian Jin's club house! :D I think Hui Juan looks so funny here.
The man of choir! Haha. We had a great time of fellowship! :)
The group photo infront of the fountain at Qian Jin's condo after the retreat.
Aww. Don't we miss such time spent together? Let's look forward to more of such moments together! :D
