Good afternoon Thomas!
Nehemiah 3 (Johnny's favorite chapter) really spoke to a lot of us this past Thursday. The entire Israelite community (priests, governors, lay people, etc) came with one vision - to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so they can once again become a holy and separate people for the Lord. We are reminded that as Thomas Group, no matter what type of Asian we are (Chinese, Taiwanese, Pinay) we can all do our part in Kingdom expansion!
ND-302 taught us what it means to physically present our bodies as living sacrifices. Will you use your lips to give praise or to gossip? Will you use your ears to hear God's truth or to hear lies? Will you use your hands to serve your brothers and sisters or will you use them to fulfill your own needs? Will you use your knees to bow down to the true and living God or to bow down to the idols of your heart?
BTW... Happy Birthday to HERMAN AND JIACHIZ!
too cute :)

Thomas Blog - http://svcathomas.blogspot.
Just a reminder that we have a Blog dedicated to Thomas group that is "updated" (and I use that term quite loosely) by our at home Thomas. This blog was started with the hope of encouraging each other by marking down our major milestones God is taking us through at the present time. If you would like to post and share what God is doing in your life, just let me know and I'll add you on as a contributor.
Need prayer? Send them our way!
