It's Over.

Cell group "Fried Tofu" has officially been disbanded last night at Dairy Queen. Originally we were going to White Mountain but the weather was not very cooperative. After we all got our blizzards, cones, and what not, we sat down and shared about our sentimental feelings (or lack there of). Everyone shared how the cell group has impacted their lives and confessed to everyone about things we felt towards each other when we first met. It was funny how at the beginning of the year they thought I was an international student from Hong Kong who was also loud, weird, and fruity, and now they are more confirmed on that fact. In many ways I will miss this cell group from the bottom of my heart even though insults and unbearably dry comments were thrown at me every single minute we have cell group meetings and Bible Studies.

Struggles were definitely there. How was I supposed to glue everyone together when no one knew anyone in the cell group at the beginning of the year? How can I make them care for each other and see each other as "a friend"? Looking at last night's meeting, I know very well that I really didn't have to do anything. God took care of it. Even though I was called to be a cell group leader, many things are out of my hands. However, I was guilty of not praying enough for this cell group, as I was bothered by many other ministries in which I was involved. "If only I have done more, things could have been better...", I always told myself. But I have to thank God for every single Fried Tofu there is. It is through all these struggles that I could catch a glimpse of God's love installed in all your hearts. It may be the end of the year but it is only the beginning of something much greater. I have no doubts that God will glue us closer together in the upcoming years. This is my prayer for you guys.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

~Romans 15:13
