Our very first DG time was on Sunday. I hope that all of you had fun in whatever activities that had been planned for all of you. As the year wears on, there will be more of such activities.
Being a teenager isn't easy when we have to deal with school and our friends. Yet I want to encourage all of you that God is always there for you when things seem to go all wrong. I know that it's not easy to believe that but God is really there for you.
God always send angels to us to help us along when we are down. Let me share with you what has happened recently. I thank God for friends that He have provided when I'm down. Recently, things in school has not been so great but I still manage to find comfort in God's words and the people around me who are always willing to listen to me.
God hears us and will always answer our prayers. Pray for willingness in your hearts that you'll follow His leading and not doubt whenever He gives His answers. Take heart for it is said in Psalms 121:5-8 "The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand;the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."

I believe all of us must have been exhuasted from the trek today. It was a tiring journey, trying our very best not to slip with the slopes being so slippery due to the rain yesterday. Yet, the Lord has been gracious to this group, choosing to open every door to make this event possible.
Prior to today's hike, Daryl, Charles and Uncle Kien Seng went up to do a recce only to be told we had to apply one month in advance to use the bridge for the Tree Top Trail because of the number of people that were going.BUT THE EVENT WAS THIS SUNDAY! We went ahead to submit the application and immediately, we as a core team prayed that the application would be approved. PRAISE THE LORD! The application was approved and we were allowed to use the bridge.
With the many days of heavy rain and all, we were worried that the weather would be horrible too today. When I woke up to overcast skies, I was worried but started to pray hard that God will hold back the rain until we finished today's activity. Indeed God was faithful and held back the rain till we were on our back to church.
Many times, when we pray, we feel that God wouldn't answer us because it seems like the results will never be immediate. Yet, it is not in our timetable that prayers are answered but in God's timetable. Moreover, I was reminded of that today as well.
During the trail, one thing kept recurring to me - this walk with God will never be easy. It's will always be forward moving unless you decide to stay where you are or slowly slip away from God. In this walk, there will also be signs that will always direct our eyes to God. Be it the WORD or our fellow brothers/sisters in christ.
Most importanly, what I saw today marked the beginning of a new chapter of YZ. As my group was walking, one of the group members slipped and fell. Instead of laughing at her, people immediately rushed to her aid and even held her hand during the rest of the trail so that she would not slip again. Even on our way back to the bus, we made sure that each and every one of us were safe before walking ahead. Keep up the good work!
Above all, let's remember to take time to spend time with the Lord, to stop and marvel at what God has done for us. Look to Him in our christian walk with Him being our only goal and aim. Looing out for each other in this walk too.

Hello people of YZ and fellow readers!
Welcome to our very first YZ blog. Look out for this space as we post our reflections on events that has passed, our thoughts and aspiration. More importantly, how God has touched our lives.
I hope that all of you had a good time yesterday as we shared our vision for the year 2007. Let us all be encouraged to bring our friends so that we can knock down that wall!! It's really exciting! Do pray for our friends as we think about who we would want to bring to church at any Sunday.
Keep your eyes open for more exciting activities!!!!
