Hi everyone,

It's been a long time since I came here to leave an imprint.

Before I accepted Christ, I was that saddening emoish girl (yes my whole life had been like that). My friend, Sixuan, prayed and invited me to church but I refused to. She never gave up on me. She continued praying for me. Growing up without God was as bad as not having a life at all.

One day, my friend literally brought me to church, fetches me to and fro, fellowshipping with them was great. After all, I barely have any friends then. I knew all along that if I were to become a Christian, it will make a lot of people unhappy. Slowly I think to myself that if everyone is happy that i'm not a Christian, what about me? Why do I have to think what others think of me without considering my own first. I do what other friends did in church. Singing praise and worshipping God. Few months in church, I knew that it was time to accept Him into my life but I just refuse to. End of 06, I finally made the stand and accepted Christ and was baptized with the Holy Spirit after a few days.

What is it like to become a Christian? I felt more confident in everything I do. After I have accepted Christ, everything begun to change for the better. Slowly, bit by bit, I grew but I became stagnant and complacent in church. Initially, I go to church because of fellowship. It was through E399 cell group and pastor Kong's messages that changed me inside out. Occasionally, I do secretly slid away from God without anyone knowing it but as I grow older in Christ, I realised that avoiding is not a solution. When I knew that I'm slipping away, I'll take the extra effort to slide back to God. Because end of the day, it's not what other people think about it, it's about who I am to God. That is all that matters. I can't imagine living a day without God.

As a Christian, I realised that I have more problems than I used to have. The only difference is I am not alone. God was with me, He held me by my hands and run this race. At times I felt really down that I really want to give up but Holy Spirit reminded me that, Hey, you have gotta finish this race. Don't give up! God is with you. Today, I have seen myself grown so much. I felt a bit scared not because of anything else but because I grew so fast and so much. Couldn't believe it either! Hehe.

Last but not least. I want to thank Jo and Seng for their leadership. Without their leadership over me, I wouldn't even have this testimony to share. I would also want to thank Sixuan for praying for me.

Friends, today I want to encourage all of you to continue praying. See how much I have changed ever since Sixuan prayed for me until now. Don't give up on anyone that you've been praying for. Always believe that God will do something in their lives =) Have a blessed day ahead! God Bless You!
