Hardest Goodbye Of The Year

My Last Day as a member of ECCC - The Covenant Church...

Can't believe how fast time has flown & Dec 31st has finally arrived...
The day finally came since my announcement in September to my church that I will be leaving them for good in pursuit of God's calling in international missions. Back then, I was still hoping to visit them once in a while. However, now that I am leaving the country as well, my farewell today became ten times harder...
The Pastor got me to go up the front to do a farewell speech. I purposely wore mascara that day so that my vanity will force me not to cry. However, that didn't quite go as planned. When Pastor Jasmine made her speech thanking me for all my help with the church over the years, she started to tear. Then finally when Pst Yong & Pst Jasmine prayed over me with the entire church behind me supporting the prayer, that was when my tears started to flow. Like always, the prayer over my next phase of life was powerful! Every word spoken edified my spirit. Pst Jasmine even prophesied over me with Genesis 24. Then 2 ppl also came up to me afterwards confirmed that prophesy all at separate time! I was absolutely blown away and extremely thankful to God for His promise over the next 2yrs of my life.

Before I was about to leave the church, I was sooooo touched to see that the Youth had prepared a present for me (A 'love heart' necklace & Miss Naughty Summer PJs to wear in Singapore =). But the best present of all was the card that they made. It was also signed by everyone in the church. That night, I cried after reading the card. Every person shared their love and appreciation to me. My heart was so heavy ladened as it had finally sunk in that I have officially left each and everyone of them after 15yrs of sharing life together.
I know God will continue to do great & marvelous work in their life and I can not wait to hear about it in the years to come...
Now that I am fully equipped, it's time to extend my territory and rock the world for Jesus!
My Thank You present to my dearest Pastors!


My dearest sisters in ECCC. I will miss every Youth in ECCC sooo much!
