Yet another case of how important it is to be right with God... Worship was very good. I could feel the whole drumset around me 'singing' out in praise to God... I loved the part where everyone sang spontaneously and I was just letting Him guide my playing... It was such a beautiful noise... I think I played harder than when in my own band... But when it ended, I was not tired at all... I hardly remember how or what I played... All I know is that He was definitely guiding the worship... I wasn't paying any attention to the sequence, but I managed to know when to build up and when to slow down.

Imagine standing in a dark room... Then in front of you, you see a pinprick of white light... And this light keeps getting brighter and brighter until everything is illuminated by this light and you're blinded by it... And all we see is bright whiteness... This was what it felt like during worship, except it wasn't light... It was a deafening sound... Not unpleasant, not causing discomfort... but just making everything more glorious... I don't know how else to describe it. Hmmm....

Didn't ask anyone else how worship was... I guess I didn't need to ask... Could see it in their faces? And in the response to the speaker's call? I was overjoyed to see certain people going up to offer themselves... I've decided that I'll go also to fulfill my role as a cell leader... :-)

You know whats tough? At the end of a wonderful day like today, I'll have to remind myself that I'm not alone... I have to remind myself of what I've been called to do... I've to resist the thoughts that come into my mind that this is all a waste of time... That I'm living this 'straight-edged' life for nothing... But I know its not in vain. The changes have been seen and felt... There is no denying the truth...

::: Quote of the Day :::
"God didn't plan for us to just 'hang in there' until he returns... He wants us to live a rich and fulfilling life... and He provides everything required for that. We just have to know how to take it."

I'm trying...
