Those of you going "Joe WHO?" will be reminded that he was the one instrumental in recording and mixing our "Faithful God" EP so well and blessed us with his incredible talent, patience and perseverence. He also made a special guest appearance at CDPC's 7th Anniversary open house this year, and sang a duet "I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever" with Patrick Leong.

We're rooting for you bro! See you Sat! With the gradually amassing hordes of fans for His glory and name's sake!

What's in a name?

Through centuries, names are more than just nice-sounding ear-pleasing monikers for the purposes of personal identification. Discerning parents take it upon themselves to bless their children with names pregnant with meaning; indeed in hope that the child would be bestowed with the gifts and blessings "declared by" the name.

I've got friends whose names mean "well-born", "lady/princess", "His name is God", "God will uplift". My sister's name carries the promise that "God is gracious", and my boss is literally a "fighter".

"Jesus" means Saviour; He who saves.

I've come across a number of meanings for my own name; the most common being "youthful". Youth are characterized by their boundless energy, great gusto for life, and a certain degree of folly and foolhardiness.

How did Dad and mum know what a livewire I was gonna turn out to be...

Thing is, being youthful is the LAST thing I am sometimes. I get so bogged down with life; it feels like everything's just sucked out of you. Maybe that's what city life does: putting the "work hard, play hard" philosophy in practice. Or maybe it's just my principle of going ALL OUT or nothing at all in whatever I delve my hand into. The Bible IS right, you know, that youth can grow tired and weary...

But I do take comfort in His promise, that "those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength... They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40: 31)

I seek to be well-rested in His love, and fulfil the destiny of the name He gave to me. I pray that you will be secure in Him too.
