Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:30-31
We are a bunch of highschool students from Nanhua and River Valley High and we're part of a huge, happening family known as Y-Hope !
We love God, very much.

Yesterday after service, we had our 2nd Unit FF ( aka unit fear factor ) of the year !! yay!! UFF is basically a time whereby the whole unit would gather together and fellowship and have fun together by playing some interesting and meaningful games and also eating together! yea so this time , it was the beautiful and handsome CLs (Kenny aka Jethro & Fongyee aka Estella) who planned it haha , we decided to use bananas as theme and thought of 2 very hmmm , interesting , fun, exciting and somewhat disgusting games !! haha look at the vid!!
After that the the four of us, (Lixin, Kenny, Fongyee and Yunyi) went out to fellowship as the rest went home. We took train from Dhoby to Somerset and walk to cineleisure. After window-shopping for around half an hour or so, we walked all the way to Plaza Singapura then to Dhoby exchange after deciding on where to eat. Fongyee left as she had to meet her friends so the three of us really had a good time fellowshipping at JustAcia! :D
PS/ There's free flow of icecream and softdrinks for set meals!!!
Apparently Kenny loves acting retarded. But nevertheless, this fellowship is definitely enjoyable (:

The Dart Test.
A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith . She says that Dr. Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons.
One particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day.
On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture.
Sally's friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was pleased with the overall ef fect she had achieved.
The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart. Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Dr. Smith, because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to throw any darts at her target. Dr. Smith began removing the target from the wall.
Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. A hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced.
Dr. Smith said only these words, 'In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.' Matthew 25:40.
No other words were necessary; the tears filled eyes of the students focused only on the picture of Christ.
This is an easy test; you score 100 or zero . It's your choice.
Well, have a blessed day!

Something lovely to share:
I asked God to take away my habit. God said, "No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up."
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, "No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary."
I asked God to grant me patience. God said, "No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned."
I asked God to give me happiness. God said, "No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you."
I asked God to spare me pain. God said, "No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me."
I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, "No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful."
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, "No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things."
I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said ... "Ah, finally you have the idea."
May God Bless You, "To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world."
