It's back to the lecture halls, tutorial rooms and projects tomorrow. Where did my holidays go? The other day Gerald and me was talking about holiday and he said our holiday ended in Cambodia. Quite true, it ended the moment we landed in Singapore. Once we were back, there's so many things to do! Well, I think it didn't even start; we were still "working" in Cambodia. It's kind of saddening to know that the 6 hours video that me and Gerald took will have to be cut into a 15 minutes short clip; what's the running, burning under the sun, tired and late night charging batteries for? Haha, at lease we captured some unforgetable side of Cambodia.
On the way home from giving tuition just now, some thoughts ran through my mind but I can't really recall them now.. *Shoot me*
What does it takes to be a good worship leader? Sometimes I really wonder, how? Praise and worship are meant to worship God and all for Him; but how many times is it really for Him or for the people that's sitting down and singing? I find myself struggling with that. Whenever I lead, I tend to think of what the people will think of that day's worship, why aren't they singing, is it boring, are they touched? Questions just run through my mind, even today. I closed my eyes, but my heart is still thinking about it. Oh Lord, how? How can I obtain a quiet heart, mind and soul? So many questions are running through. Once I read something about how satan used to be the angel of music back when he was still in heaven. So, whenever we worship it will disturbed him cause it reminded him of the "good old times" he once had. When that guy is disturbed, he will come disturbed us; people who are worshipping and trying to bring people close to God. Bad guy.
As worship leaders, even musicians or even technicians; we have to be close to God and understand His will for our serving. How can we offer our best if we don't even know God and His purpose for us well? God alone is worthy, give Him our very best!
Do you realise that many times we made certain promises to God and can only keep a few but God kept all His? God just love us so much. Each promise broken must have hurt God a lot. Imagine your Dad or Mum promise to bring you on a trip to let's say USA but didn't; it's gonna be so sad. But God never hurt us, He love us way too much to do that. Then sometimes we ask, "How come I can't feel God is around when I needed Him?" Stretch out your hand; you are already touching God! God is always there, but it is our eyes that's covered and we can't see Him. Rest assured that He can see us, He will never lose sight of us. Amen!
I'm loving the song, "Just like Heaven". Although I got the audio which last for like only 30 secs, but I just keep replaying it again and again!
Cindy: Add oil! Thanks for emailing me too.
Shirly: All the best for your coming main examination, work hard and shine for God alright!
SOPians: Hang on there, it's gonna be over soon!
BBSians: Where have you all been? Take care yeah!
YCKGHians: Fire up for God, Church, Fellowship and for yourself!
GCCians: I miss Cambodia already!
C116G: School re-opened; help me in my projects!
