CELL DINNER WAS AWESOME.
HELLOS EVERYBODY.
Just so you know, I'm Andrew, again.
If you didn't know, i'm the only one who uses "HELLOS".
Anyways, AWESOME CELL DINNER GUYS.
I really wanna thank everyone who showed up.
But don't sweat, for those who didn't.
I'm sure we'll have another one soon.
Sorry for my horrible instructions of Signal.
Not the best game to play when you've only played it once.
I just want to bless you guys with a verse.
For those who didn't come for Pre-Fuel Meeting.
It's PSALMS 132: 1-5
O LORD, remember David
and all the hardships he endured.He swore an oath to the LORD
and made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
"I will not enter my house
or go to my bed-
I will allow no sleep to my eyes,
no slumber to my eyelids,
till I find a place for the LORD,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
And what God's talking to us is about our TAWG.
Which I'm sure some of you haven't been doing it regularly, like me.
So I really wanna encourage you guys to do it consistently ;D

January 29
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.
— Psalm 30:11
On a Friday morning in February 1976, I was frustrated and desperate. I was trying to do everything the church said I should do and everything I thought God required of me, but nothing seemed to be working and I was quite disheartened. I knew I needed change in my life, but I wasn’t sure exactly what change I needed. I knew I was searching, but I wasn’t sure what I was searching for.
That morning, I cried out to God and told Him I couldn’t go on any longer. I remember saying, “God, something is missing. I don’t know what it is, but something is missing.”
To my surprise, He spoke to me in what sounded loud enough to be His audible voice, calling my name and talking to me about patience. From that moment on, I knew He was going to do something about my situation. Later that day, in my car, Jesus filled me with the presence of the Holy Spirit in a way I had never before experienced. The best way to describe the feeling is to say I felt someone had poured liquid love into me. I immediately noticed newfound peace, joy, and love resting inside me and flowing out of me, and everyone around me noticed positive changes in my behavior as I began to love others as I never had before.
I got up that morning feeling as though everything had come to a discouraging end. I went to bed that night knowing I was at a place of new beginnings. God often works this way; He speaks and moves suddenly in our lives. Don’t grow weary of waiting on God because today may be your day for a “suddenly.”
if you've forgotten what you read above, don't miss out the last sentence:) I may not know exactly how you are right now in your walk with God, but nevertheless, DON'T GIVE UP! For those of you who may feel like you've not been hearing from God in the longest time, DON'T GIVE UP! For those of you who are walking strong with Him, DON'T BE COMPLACENT, continue to seek Him and walk intimately with Him:) Because who knows, today may be your day for a "suddenly".
"You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all of your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

The Three Trees
Once upon a mountain top, three little trees stood and dreamed of what they wanted to become when they grew up. The first little tree looked up at the stars and said, "I want to hold treasure. I want to be covered with gold and filled with precious stones. I'll be the most beautiful treasure chest in the world!" The second little tree looked out at the small stream trickling by on its way to the ocean. "I want to be travelling mighty waters and carrying powerful kings. I'll be the strongest ship in the world! The third little tree looked down into the valley below, where busy men and women worked in a busy town. "I don't want to leave the mountain top at all. I want to grow so tall that when people stop to look at me they'll raise their eyes to heaven and think of God. I will be the tallest tree in the world."
Years passed. The rain came, the sun shone and the little trees grew tall. One day three woodcutters climbed the mountain. The first woodcutter looked at the first tree and said, "This tree is beautiful. It is perfect for me." With a swoop of his shining axe, the first tree fell. "Now I shall make a beautiful chest, I shall hold wonderful treasure!" the first tree said.
The second wood cutter looked at the second tree and said, "This tree is strong. It's perfect for me." With a swoop of his shining axe, the second tree fell. "Now I shall sail mighty waters!" thought the second tree. "I shall be a strong ship for mighty kings!"
The third tree felt her heart sink when the last woodcutter looked her way. She stood straight and tall and pointed bravely to heaven. But the woodcutter never even looked up. "Any kind of tree will do for me," he muttered. With a swoop of his shining axe, the third tree fell.
The first tree rejoiced when the wood cutter brought her to a carpenter's shop. But the carpenter fashioned the tree into a feed box for animals. The once beautiful tree was not covered with gold, or treasure. She was coated with saw dust and filled with hay for hungry farm animals. The second tree smiled when the wood cutter took her to a shipyard, but no mighty sailing ship was made that day. Instead the once strong tree was hammered and sawed into a simple fishing boat. She was too small and too weak to sail to an ocean, or even a river. Instead she was taken to a little lake. The third tree was confused when the wood cutter cut her into strong beams and left her in a lumberyard. "What happened?" The once tall tree wondered. "All I ever wanted was to stay on the mountain top and point to God..."
Many days and nights passed. The three trees nearly forgot their dreams. But one night, golden starlight poured over the first tree as a young woman placed her newborn baby in the feed box. "I wish I could make a cradle for him." Her husband whispered. The mother squeezed his hand and smiled as the starlight shone on the smooth and sturdy wood. "This manger is beautiful," she said. And suddenly, the first tree knew he was holding the greatest treasure in the world.
One evening, a tired traveller and his friends crowded into the old fishing boat. The traveller fell asleep as the second tree quietly sailed out into the lake. Soon a thundering and a thrashing storm arose. The little tree shuddered. She knew she did not have the strength to carry so many passengers safely through the wind and the rain. The tired man awoke. He stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Peace." The storm stopped as quickly as it had begun. And suddenly, the second tree knew she was carrying the king of heaven and earth.
One Friday morning, the third tree was startled when her beams were yanked from the forgotten wood pile. She flinched as she was carried through an angry jeering crowd. She shuddered when soldiers nailed a man's hand to her. She felt ugly and harsh and cruel. But on Sunday morning, when the sun rose and the earth trembled with joy beneath her, the third tree knew that God's love had changed everything. It had made the third tree strong. And every time people thought of the third tree, they would think of God. That was better than being the tallest tree in the world.
The next time you feel down because you didn't get what you wanted, sit tight and be happy because God is thinking of something better to give you.
