What a day. Spent the afternoon at parkway parade. First to Burger King for lunch and some reading. Then I made my way to the post office to find out more about the air mail rates for Eileen's really belated birthday present. (sorry =P)
Then I went to NTUC to buy ingredients for the spaghetti bolognese I was supposed to cook for the Rhema class gathering later that night. Thank God that I made the spaghetti. It was the only staple food available. Besides the delicious pie made by Phyllis. So after eating, we finally got down to sharing about our lives and passions. The whole thing was headed by Martin, the year 2 monitor. He's hilarious I tell you, but we were laughing more at the way he said things than what he said. We made our way through the testimonies of different people. I was really encouraged by how God worked through the lives of the different people around me. How He made things work out so that they could come to Rhema. There are no accidents when you walk in God's will. Its all well-planned.

Anyway, it came to my turn to share about how God brought me to Rhema. I felt God speaking through me. I remember seeing all of them listening intently to what I was saying. It really surprised me that I could keep talking while sharing my testimony. Clarence said to me while fetching back home that during the testimony, he heard God saying, "Here is someone I can use."

Oh, those six simple words that built me up in my spirit. It is such an honour and a priviledge. Immediately, my mind raced back to the words of prophecy and words of encouragement given by Reverend Patsy and Sani, a missionary I met 2 years ago on a mission trip. Here is a summary of the words of God on my life. The following is a quote from my blog on the 10 June 2004.

"To date, I know that I have a passion for worship/music, a desire to be used by God (a dangerous man for Him), I've been called special in God's eyes (everyone is!), been envisioned with wings (to protect others) and been described as having a heart like David. I also see myself giving God glory on a stage. These are like many sides of a shape that God has planned for me to be."

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD."
