Let's take a break from the "Kopitiam Documentary" for a bit.
Caught up with a great GREAT friend today. As we were talking about life, ministry, how we're growing in God, being challenged and stretched AND amazed by Him.. you know these are the kinds of conversations where the Holy Spirit was right there, pushing His face into our faces going, "Yeah! C'mon... stir it up!!!"
God gives me the shivers....
It's NOT mere emotion, neither is it only mental persuasion.
It's an overwhelming, uncontrollable, restlessness in your spirit that spills into your emotions..
From that, it spills over into your mind to break your human-bound-mentality.
Times like these, my body goes into like a shaking/shivering mode.. NOT convulsing, mind you.. haha ;)
but.. if I could put it that... it is as if my body [almost] cannot contain what God is feeding into my spirit.
whew...
yeah!
God gives me the shivers...
Are we open enough to Him, or close enough to Him... that just a whisper from the Holy Spirit sends a shiver down our spine...

The Backer-Uppers
**I heed your commands & requests**
Apologies. Won't present you my looooong list of valid excuses/reasons.
Let's just move on with life, eh? :)
Sooo.... back to my story.
Crucially supporting the 3 instigators were the 3 "backer-uppers" as I call them. These were the ones who weren't officially working under Youth Church at the office. But they sure were around us A LOT.
What dedication.
So ladies & gentlemen, young dudes and dudettes..
I present to you:
Backer-Upper #1 - JEANNETTE GOON
Ingenius strategy.
Come work at church office, in the Finance Department.
Close enough to keep tabs on us. Far enough to have space for her special assignments that needed to be kept secret from me (the victim).
Was on break from A-Levels. Genius on every level imaginable.. oooh!
Except when it comes to geographical orientation. That one a bit sesat.
Then again, don't know whether real or not. Could be another guise! ;)
Backer-Upper #2 - JOSHUA YONG
Incredible planning.
Broke his hand during a futsal game one Sunday. What lengths they have gone thru!
Under pretense of "needing to recover", he came to help out a lot. Did much brilliant work on his trusty laptop. But again, not being under my constant supervision as The Instigators were, he was one of their other intelligent helpers. Part-time help at the office, Full-time subordinate to Kwisty, Stephie & HeanJi (part of Darren's chinese name).
Backer-Upper #3 - HO SEK TENG
Invincible Strength.
I think his expression from this quick snapshot (from which the photographer nearly lost his balance from the sheer power of his facial pose) says enough.
Not only does he have Brain & Brawn.. He's got brains on his brawn!
This is the man who keeps the team safe... He protects them and shelters them. What a rock... Fooh!
