.: Thanks Giving Testimony By Eunice :.
dearest mother
sigh. just wrote this after i got home from retreat. haha. just wanna say that i was really really really blessed by the camp. i'm quite reluctant (or shy?) to say this but i can finally experience the family thing (you know! that thing! :p) in our G12 cell group, i mean, our spiritual family (SF) at last. reluctant because by saying that, i'm actually admitting that i've never felt that family relationship before.
i'm ignited by the new want to be like da jie. to help you manage and expand (that thing) our family. grace told me that since she has her own family to build too, we must rise up now! especially me and jess a.k.a. itchy. i agree with her. grace have been doing so much now a days. i'm so encouraged by her. growing so much. one thing i've shared with gladys, jess a.k.a. itchy and to grace is that i've kinda wavered about church or church activities on certain occasions. been coming in and out. rebellious at times. i'm sure you've noticed. of course lah hor. anyways, i've been reading joshua and judges over the month, and now then i realised that israel had betrayed God for dunno how many times. still, when israel cried out to Him, He saved them from their troubles, time and time again. why? i dunno why but i'm so amazed by His loyalty and love for His children! it struck me when i realized that i'm actually in the same boat with israel (though i can say with confidence that there are no baal statues in my room!). i thank you mama. for bearing with me. for taking all my nonsense and putting up with it. for persisting with me. for loving me. i know it's God's supernatural love in you so i must thank Him too for giving me such a God-fearing mom.
before you were washing my feet. i was asking myself - am i worthy of the love of this woman? what if i'm unable to serve her? what if it's too challenging to obey her? what if i turn away again? will she accept me? will she love me as she loves the others? but once again, God reminded me of all the journey that i went through with Him. i remembered the cross i saw during the G12 conference and who i was standing with. i stood up and approached the basin with ambivalence. fear and desire. and when you washed my feet. i told myself, i will commit to this wonderful woman. now and forever. i will follow her and serve her as she follows and serves Jesus. by the strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit, i will. till i see heaven, i will (or who knows? even after).
i'm really grateful for the camp. it was sooo fun! and revealing. it feels like an oridinary camp made extraordinary by God! though was quite tiring. aiyah. ya lah! who could be more tired than you? =) God bless and peace! (feels cheesy emailing you. don't ask why)
your dear and cute daughter
