GRRrrrrrr........ SICKSICKSICKSICKSICK... I was typing one of my longest posts ever and the computer just shut down on me... Grrr.... I'll just summarise the main points.
I haven't updated for quite a while cos I've been busy with my project, helping Song with his project, meeting up with friends etc... Played basketball yesterday night with Shen, Ziig and Denise. I think I seriously sucked. I think I was still tired from Sunday evening soccer. Song's brother's friends said that I play too aggressively in soccer. I may be aggressive but I believe that I play fair? Its just that soccer is like every other contact sport... Accidents occur and mistakes are made. My team's defenders and keeper were crappy. They were just standing in front of our goal like dodos. Hahah...
Anyway, the worship on Sunday was wonderful... I prepared myself before the service started. I knelt down at the drums and prayed to ask God to keep my mind free from distractions. I told Him that I wanted to play for Him and not to impress anyone else. I wanted it to be a worship to Him. I wanted the worship help the congregation to experience God's presence. And guess what? His presence was undeniable. I don't claim to be the reason why God's presence was so strong but I believe that factors like how right the worship leader and the musicians are with God play a huge part in ushering in the presence of God. After the service, I went around asking how certain people found the service. Got some pleasing comments.
"...could really feel His presence." , "It(worship) was fantastic. The sermon was fantastic too!" , "Very good!"
These are exciting times. I think God is calling certain people to be on fire for Him. Then others will want to catch this fire too! God is great!!! Something great and miraculous is going to happen and I want to be part of it when it does.
I've been struggling about going to school lately. When I sat down to think about it, found that the only reason that I'm going to try to finish my diploma is because I don't want to give others a bad impression of Christians. Don't want people to think that Christians are drop-outs. :P
Really need to discipline myself to spend more time with God. QT these 2 weeks have been anything but regular. Need to put my foot down for certain things...
I went for a haircut with Laifu just now. Actually, he went for the hair cut... I just got mine trimmed. It still looks the same though. $22 down the drain.
Just got this email from Shen's friend Kui Bao (cute name). It says something about music vox looking for 5 resident bands. The bands have to play a certain number of 'gigs' for them. In exchange, the bands will get to use the school's jamming studio. Other than the experience we'll gain as a band and the use of the studio for free, there's nothing great about playing for them... The genres that they allow don't include rock (emo-punk = rock?) so we'll probably have to 'pretend' to be a jazz band or something.
School's out. Going home now.
