God's Clay is one SPECIAL SMALL GROUP!

This was what i felt God leading me to God's clay last Sunday.
And this was how it all started!....

Only found out at the last monthly leaders meeting(MLM).. that actually in terms of our ysg "health" we are actually doing veryyy well! The leaders did a check list of abt 25 things a ysg does..and we scored abt 18/25! for example like if we go for retreats,celebrate each other birthdays,have a ysg blog..etc...and i wassss so surprise that compared to other grps... the majority of the grps has less than 10... And to add to it... shared some of the stuff with the other leaders that our grp is doing for 2008. Anddd they were actually veryyy impressed at how we are doing!

And to add to this abt 6 years ago... i rmb ellen or mel shared that a leader told us when we were in sec2 that our grp is SPECIAL... hahha! and well! not many know this..but.... a lot of youths have approach me before and ask "why is your small grp so bonded?" or "i really hope my small grp is like urs?" and if im not wrong we are the only small grp who has 3 consecutive small grp retreat since Chin Ee started it in 2005.... and after each retreat...our grp has went a notch higher! And it didnt end there! after all the plans and vision we had at our last retreat in 2007...

Our plans for 2008 is to grow more bonded and closer to one another and grow much more spiritually this year! And plans like to have out of sundays bible study grp meetings, mandatory lunches after church and accountability partners. Have actually been very very verryyyy SUCCESSFUL so far!
Our recent study on "I kissed dating Goodbye" series has veryyy positive attendence.. at least 80%! wayy better than last yr of abt 40% attendence... And we have assimilated some members in the grp even better now! Well im not saying we are the WORLD BEST SMALL grp! But...we haveeeee so much potential to be one! And i strongly believed that GOD has promise this to us!

"Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. Romans 4:20,21"

And right now..to achieve this high standard of what the leaders and youths in YM has perceive of us... all of us in God's Clay need is to continue to persevere in the FAITH and catch the vision and purpose of being and serving in God's Clay!

Actually its not all abt just the many things our grp is doing... but if each of us have the heart to really want to be like Christ and turn to him and use this small grp to be a platform of us "Clays" being mounded by the "Potter" i really believed this is something we can all do it together if we are all committed to this and I CAN GUARANTEE we can go very very far!
