Its late, i'm sorry

For those who were not around *Cough, Reuben*

Joshua Chan shared on 6 main points:

(I'm sorry its so late and all, due to exams.. Haih... Well here it is anyway. I don't really remember much as it has been 2 weeks ago. Once again, SORRY! )

Where was I?

Oh yea, the six points.

• The Word

Basically the Bible is VERY important. Its good for teaching, rebuking and a lot of other things. When we are tempted the word will help us stand strong. Its also really useful for defending your faith. When people ask you about what you believe in, you'll be able to answer them. So, read your bible kids! ;D haha, no seriously read your bible.

• Be Calm

(Jesus calm the storm)

Be calm in every situation. For God is the solution! :) First thing to do when you're facing a difficult situation is to go to God. Think about What Jesus Would Do. (WWJD)

• Be Quiet

Its better to not say anything than to say something that would hurt someone else. Oh and when you're quite its easier to hear God's voice. When we stay quite, we are more focused.

• Be Brave

Don't be afraid to stand up for what is right. Cause Jesus did it for us.

• The Truth

Jesus is the truth. We as Christians are to live by what we believe in.

• Be Faithful

Cling on to God. He will never leave you.

Oh somewhere along the line he said talked about hidden Greatness and how we must be humble and self confident at the same time.

I hope i didn't miss anything :)

Somebody's birthday =P

This week at IMpact was very interesting right...WEILI?

Yes this week we celebrated our current president's birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEILI!

Haha...you suspected something, but didn't expect this right? =P

In other news, we had CG's again this week, and we discussed on parents...and how, even though they seem to be against you, they are still the better authority...and they know better

Parents, we have learned to appreciate you more =P

Later on we had a rather nice game of volleyball...

See you guys next week =D

Leadership, chuga-chuga-lead-lead!

A Leader

A leader is a person
Who IMPACTED your life
Who helped you escape
A life full of strife

He is an icon
Of which you look up to
One who did what had to be done
Because there were few

In other words...

A leader is a person
Who rose to the occasion
When no one else dared
To accomplish the mission

Is there a leader
In this life of yours?
Is there someone
That deserves your applause?

Poem by Pioneer (Hmm, SO MYSTERIOUS :P)

-
This week, Reuben shared with us about leadership! *pats Reuben on the back* "Good job, Reuben!" :D Well, basically, the poem above has pretty much summarized his sharing as a whole. The point which stood out to me the most from his sharing was that, as a leader, it is not only important that you encourage others, you need to be encouraged BY others as well! :)

Proverbs 27:17- As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Tadaa~ I finally found the verse! :) So yup, Impactors, never forget to encourage one another under any circumstances at all, as your encouragement can really help one develop his/her leadership skills! Have a great week ahead! God bless you all! :)

CG's

HELLO :D

Yes, last Saturday impact had our first in-cell CG worship. Which means each cell group had their own worship in their cell. Yea, if you went... you should know what i'm talking about.

I'm sure all of us had a great time with our cell group :)

Getting to know each other better or just fellowshipping with each other.

CG's are held on the 1st and 3rd week of the month.

Next week, we will berbonding-bonding with our forms! :D

Have a great weeek! :) :)

Don't forget GOD!

Of Multitasking And Flying Cards

Impact this week started off with a heartfelt time of worship led by Miss Shin Lin! (it was her first time, whoooh! :D) Then, we had the wonderful privilege of having the best 'guest speaker' cos he has the special ability of taking in loads of oxygen (GAS speaker, HOHOHO) of all, our very own beloved,

  

THE JEFF CHOK!

Look! He so special. He SHARES on a CHAIR, HA HA HA :D

Okay, CHEESECAKE! *that was originated from me you know! :'D AHAHA* Anyway, Jeff shared with us about MULTITASKING.

Yes, multitasking here refers to:

Responding to people's questions while being hooked onto your electronic devices

Studying while logging on to Facebook at the same time

'Listening' to sermons in church while fiddling with your cellphones 

Doing your homework while listening to your favourite Taylor Swift song., ETC.

Multitasking can also refer to focusing on too many things at a time, until you become unproductive in all the things you needed to accomplish.Well, yes, it is true that God has given us the ability to multitask (imagine not being able to breathe while doing anything at all! Jordin Sparks different la, she NO AIR ma), but it doesn't mean we have to always put that ability into use, as multitasking may be useful at times, but at other and most times, harmful.

What I absorbed the most from Jeff's sharing today was that multitasking can actually affect your relationships with God, and with others.

Mark 12:30-31- "Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbour as yourself'. There is no commandment greater than these."

Remember, God said, the two greatest commandments are to love Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love your neighbour as yourself.  So we're not going to neglect these two great commandments by multitasking excessively and possibly affecting our relationship with God and others, are we? Here, I give you another verse to reflect on!

Luke 5:16- "But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed"

Sometimes, we just have to take a break from the world, quit multitasking and being busy so much and spend some time alone with God; in prayer, just like Jesus did. To cut down on facebook, and face reality instead, which we know we CANNOT pull through alone, but only with and by God's strength.

After form discussions, the Impacters then had fun and fellowship; some played games upstairs, some played Mafia in the lounge and some.... (haiyo, *shakes head*)

HI, MARCUS! :D

LEON, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM! :P

Yeah, you get the picture. They had loads of fun with some 'flying cards'. So much joy found in a deck of cards :) Heehee.

So yup, Impacters, please do reflect on what Jeff has shared today. And have a blessed week ahead of you! 

REMEMBER, DON'T JUST FACEBOOK, FACE PEOPLE'S FACES! :)

God bless!

Of strong stomachs and giftings

We had a guest speaker this week.  His name is Ps. Simon.  He has a strong stomach.  That is his gift.

Okay, I don't have much to write about because I came late...I had a very valid excuse...
Well, from what I heard it was a good message...all the laughing meant it was okay.

Later on we split into our CGs... and NEW ROOMS.

Now I understand why the form 3s are so united...their room is so nice +_+

                                                   JEALOUS FACE

The crowd was quite down...are exams coming up?? I know the form3s are having theirs soon.

All the best =P

ImPact will keep you guys in prayers.
