Changes? what changes?

YWAP has gone through much development and growth in the last few years and I have been very happy to see how you guys have grown so much (more happier, handsomer and prettier, at least most of you did...sorry, Siti - nothing personal...) under the leadership of LSH and gang.

I must commend the good works of LSH, KC, Cheryl, Agnes, caroline, kev and joyce and will definitely put in a good word for you guys when I see God later to talk about your applications for extension and renovation works for your bungalows in Futureland Garden. It IS good to see the works of your hands flourishing and blossoming into a garden of pretty flowers (again, sorry Siti).

So "Changes? what changes?" is not something I wish to do, but YWAP is about changes and if you still don't see it, go to point A below, otherwise, for the smarter ones (sorry Siti and Kev), go to Point B.

POINT A

What changes?
1. YWAP was never called YWAP
2. Youth Fellowship (YF) used to be a sunday school class on a sunday (duh)
3. YF used to be an all girls group (plus 1 boy)
4. YF used to be just 5 "kids"
5. YF didn't have a notice board
6. YF didn't have a BLOG (chewah)
7. YF didn't have a band before
8. YF didn't have its own worship/singspiration sessions
9. YF didn't have youths taller than 5ft before
10. YF didn't have BGRs
11. YF didn't have youth camps
12. YF didn't need to pray for any SPMers before
13. Chung, Ian and Andrew used to be the annoying 3 musketeers (ok - so no changes here but u get the point)


POINT B

so what's the point? The point is YWAP is change and Change is never a constant (some Einstein words? no.) But I am praying that Change becomes a constant for YWAP - that YWAP will always develop and grow and mature - Change, we must; always for the better...

From Genesis till Revelation, we saw changes everyday on the face of earth, in the face of people, at the face of time. Change is inevitable. We must prepare for changes.

When God made and created the world, He said, "it is GOOD", but we now see a decaying world, full of rubbish and contamination.

When God made and created mankind, He said, "It is GOOD", but we see a decaying spirit man with growing statistics of physical diseases, wasted lives and godliness.

We must prepare for changes - it is inevitable, it is unavoidable, it is going to happen.

The difference is - who can help you change, for the better or worse..... You choose.



So Changes, what Changes?

2006 is near. What is installed for YWAP in 2006?

Expect the Unexpected

Mike.
