An Adventure

Hey all, sorry I was missing in action for abit.

Last week has been tedious for me. I was juggling between work and band practices with little sleep for the KL trip over the weekend. Pst Kong was unable to be there because of Sun so we stayed on to do Praise and Worship. Please say a prayer for Sun as she is on a long road to recovery.

Looking back at the weekend, the entire weekend was nothing but surreal for me. I always dream about singing for God and being there on the stage, it brought me to tears. Because God has been faithful to the call He has given me. We ministered as a team for 3 services. I am extremely proud of the musicians and the younger BVs and I feel so encouraged by their work and energy shown throughout the entire time.

As for myself, I realized I have so much to improve on. From now until Emerge, I just want to continue to pray and work on my techniques and skills. So it has been a great adventure. I feel like I was on an exciting rollercoaster ride with people I have never known, but it was good bonding and especially edifying to be able to serve God together.

I really appreciate the fact that people with different agendas and personalities die to themselves and come together for the big picture. The care and love for worship, for God and His people qualify all of us to lead the people.

When I came back home last night, Brandon and I were just so exhausted to do anything, let alone packing. But as we were thanking God and rounding up our night, there was a clearly sense of unspeakable joy and contentment. And God spoke to me clearly in Matt 16:25, "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it."

I lost myself in His love and grace and I am glad Brandon is going to do that for the next 5 months! Today is his first day in SOT and I am so proud of him. He's taken a big step of faith to enrol in the bible school. I know he's going to be such a blessing to the people around him.

Peeps, isn't it amazing that the love of God is always available to us. If you ever feel lost or shortchanged, look to Him. I promise you that you will not be disappointed.

More exciting times to come, I'll try to post up photos after I clear my luggage. Ciao.
