[*Al.wAy$. toG.etHeR*] ...i remember the time all of us sat in the auditorium waiting for our names to be called out to our various new cell groups. i was scared, not knowing what to expect at all. i realised then that my cell group was going to be an almost entirely new one to me since the cell group i was in was really split into all the other cell groups. and i felt really foreign and wondered why this had happened?
the first time we gathered together, i didn't really speak much. i guess you guys knew that it was because i was still scared and not yet really comfortable to be me with you guys. moreover, we split into our new cell groups the friday after my cell group celebrated my birthday with me. it felt really sad but i knew somehow that God had His reasons and now i know why. this cell group was everything that i needed. was where God really took care of me and because of this cell group, i could grow spiritually. i could never have comprehended all of these when we first split. i could never have imagined how much we would have bonded the first time we gathered together and now, we're like a family, we can be ourselves with each other, no facades and we could be honest with each other without the fear of being judged.
i'm thankful for my cell group. i got to know all the people so much better and we could depend on each other. they lend their support when there was christmas carolling, and for the recent drama, all of them contributed with their various talents which really meant a lot to me. cos this cell group provided the support that i needed. and now, this cell group has become an important part of me. i love this cell group and i guess the only probable reason as to why God would have us split up is because this cell group has fulfilled its purpose, for the each and everyone of us to grow and for us to form a bond that is so deeply etched in each and everyone of our hearts.
even now as we embarked on another phase of our life, i just wanna say that this cell group will never split, at least not in our hearts though it will really happen physically. there will be no parting or farewell just a temporary seperation from each other. i'm sure we'll all be together forever. and nothing can break the bond that we've formed with each other. and it's because of you guys that hope never left me. that my faith could stay burning bright even when the wind blew so strongly to blow it out. and it's because of you guys, that i could feel God's love and that He was always watching over me. cos you guys that i never felt alone and i never strayed from God. for all the care and love, thank you so much. i love all of you and it's really sad that we have to split. but i guess God has His reasons and this split will not affect the friendship we've forged. thank you again. and i love you all.
love,
cheryn ...
