Ever since Pastor David announced about the restructuring of the whole church, I had only one question in my mind, "Are the Benjamites going to split?"
On Monday afternoon, Sis Pai Chet called me for a meeting with Bro Jonathan. The bad news came. Jonathan wanted to bring me out from Benjamin and into Joseph. My heart fell. I felt like crying. I really, really love Benjamin. Every time, I can't wait to meet them up either for lunch or just merely a short meeting. I've been a Benjamite for a year. The Benjamites sacrificed so much for me and they have the burden for my spiritual growth. We love each other so much. Another bad news is I won't have Sis Shin Jie as my shepherd anymore. My heart got so broken that I cried. I loved her so much. She's like my sister and I shared many things with her. She helped me a lot in many areas of my life. I just can't let her go. But I have to make a decision.
The reason why Jonathan did this is because I could help the Josephians after Joey moved out from there. She would be taking care of Isaiah care group. I am in Joseph to support the sisters and will also help them. I think it's easier for me because I really want to help Sis Agnes to throw the problem away and also Sis Cherry in fund-raising program...
When Bro Jonathan announced about my part, he said, "I know you will miss them and they will miss you a lot as well. But you can meet them at anytime. It's your decision." I chose to move into Joseph and Bro Abraham said, "You will make sure everyone stays and we'll never have anymore farewell parties. You will help to take care of the sisters in Joseph. They need someone like you." When I talked with Shin Jie, she said, "It's unbearable for you and the others. I know."
Today, I had dinner with the Josephians. None of the Benjamites was with me. Sis Cherry looked happy when she knew I am the new Josephian. I don't know if I can cope well with all of them but I realized that the days before this, I am close with them. I became close with Sis Agnes because of some problems. I am in the Impact Ministry which is handled by Sis Pai Chet. So they are all happened with the Josephians.
It is really God's plan for me to grow.

Wow!! nice photos.. funny I was in d last one but it's so dark, I could barely recognise myself.. hehe.. You're right to say that you moved there 'cos God wants you to grow. I remember someone saying something about choosing not to be too comfortable for serving God. We all have to be flexible 'cos it helps us to grow in knowledge, skills and also triumph through new difficulties.. Romans 15:5-6
