Calling from God
Been awhile since I last blogged. This few days, a lot of wonderful things happened to me; it only goes to show how wonderful God is :) Weeks after Stream Of Praise Concert, I recieve a calling from God to set up a music ministry for Him. Long before, I had always wanted to become a missionaire, spreading the gospel and reaching out to the lost. I was only 12 then when this vision and dream came. Then, I had made know to almost everyone that I wanted to be a missionarie. Till now, I'm only glad that I did and not hide it. When I got exposed to music and ministry, I had visions of myself on stage, singing and praising God like Stream Of Prasie and Hillsongs. I mearly put it off as an imagination and didn't think deep into in, but inside me, I truely wanted this to happen.
Each time I attended a concert or a conference, I would be so fired up for God. All my life, I just want to serve Him for I'm nothing without Him. Yes, all my life. I'm willing to give up my all for Him. For He's the one who gave me what I have and He is also the one who can take away what I have and replace them with something better.
Lord, I heard your calling for me to form a Team to worship you. But Lord, assure me again; for my faith in this is small. Assure Your child O Lord.
I heard the calling on sunday, and have since asked God for His assurance on this. On sunday night, I asked Him to let me wake up at 8a.m on my own, before the alarm rings at 9a.m. I did. I wasn't convince. I asked Him to assure me again, to wake me up at 8a.m this morning, this time I didn't set any alarm. I did, again. I woke up and straight away I looked at my watch, 7.56a.m. Lord, I'm willing to answer to Your calling if it's really from You. Lord, one more time is all I asked from You. Once more, assure me.
Funny isn't it? That sunday, I was joking with Lydia that I wanted to from "Children Of Light" in Singapore, just like Stream Of Praise in CA. It was meant to be a joke, but I gave it a deep thought and felt God's calling. It was a struggle for me. "Why form another music ministry when there's already SOP, Joshua, Hillsongs and many others? They are wonderful, so why is this calling on me? Someone who have little music knowlegde, who can't read music notes and don't really know how to play music instruments? Someone who hasn't really succeed in doing something that she wanted to do?" Strangly, I have an answer after I asked those question. Look at China, look at the world. There are still so many people yet to have heard about the gospel. There are plentiful of harvest, but the workers are few.
Lord, I heard Your calling and I'm willing to answer to it. But Lord, assure me that this calling is from You.
I seriously don't know where to start or even how to start. I have no idea how to compose songs! I did tried, but I think it didn't turn out well. I know the Good Lord will guide me and I'm excited about it! Well, though it's not going to be easy, but I'm sure the Lord will guide me. I commit everything to You Lord.
Now, let me just be hardworking and study for the coming exams. A or even a Z for IISO and I aim to pass my Computing maths well. All glory and honor be unto You name.
And people. If you too want to serve the Lord, worship Him and Praise His name. Do you wanna join in this big family that is coming up soon? Doesn't matter how old are You, God wants you.
