my first xmas party as a christian

last nite we had an early xmas get-together at sulian's place..

we had a great evening playing name games, autograph bingo and getting to know each other better over dinner, catching up on what we've been up to lately and sharing funny food stories

this party was held to celebrate xmas, which is all about Jesus, His love, joy and peace that He wants to share and give everyone.. so we shared briefly about xmas, and watched a video testimony of God's amazing love and grace shared by Neville Tan, an ex-secret society gang member who encountered God in prison and gave his life to Jesus.

it was a touching testimony and many of us could relate to the amazing peace and love that was experienced by neville when we receive Jesus into our hearts and dedicate our lives to follow Him.. after the video, sulian shared her testimony and every word she spoke was just perfect.. it was such a simple and great testimony.. then everyone also shared thoughts that came to mind and it was wonderful because we could sense the things that were said were close to our hearts, it was amazing how everyone opened their hearts and shared personal stuff from the depths of their heart.. it felt really good to hear what each and everyone had to say

everything that everyone said flowed so beautifully, and we could feel God's presence so strongly, there was such a great sense of peace

we are thankful and glad for everyone's presence at the party, for open hearts and for making time to celebrate and share thoughts this xmas together, special thanks to siow kee, sulian and daxiong for gamely planning and doing this together and especially to God for bringing us all together and guiding us along.. for giving us the right words at the right time and for loving us all so much

really looking forward to the next get-together session.. to share a yummy brazilian recipe that i've recently gotten from Rosa.. heavenly cheesebread :)
