Void? Concert Dedication service

This week has been a tiring one.. Have been in and out of church, setting the santuary up for the musicians. Exhausted is the word.

Anyway, we had the concert dedication service tonight. We are continuing to believe that something really great is going to happen on saturday evening, seeing lives being led out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.. that is a satisfaction that we can celebrate about have after the concert ends.. NOT how great we sang in the choir, or how good was my guitar solo, or how good the musicians played.. this is a PEOPLE ministry, & that will be out sole purpose. We are thanking Jesus in advance for all the salvation that we are going to see on saturday, believing that he will move more than we expect him too, He is a God of wonders.. expect the unexpected!

I have learnt a lesson from a friend. When rough times hit me, i always remind my self of this, "It's NOT what that happens to you that matters, BUT what you choose to DEVELOP in you." Like for my fren, he takes every opportunity to turn every problem into an opportinity to grow inside! If you grow when you don't have problems, and you grow when you do have problems, then you're growing no matter what. And that makes a true champion.

It's getting late now and i need a bath and need a looooong gooood sleep... lots to catch up in dream land. Here are a 2 photos (one with me in it :P) from tonight's dedication service.. :) Enjoy!.. and remember .. PRAY! Concert is less than 48 hours!

My Fishy!

Look! My fishy fishy... they're so cute! lalala...

Well....

Sunday, sabbath day.. but also one of the most tiring days for me. I think this year i only had 2 breaks from playing. If i'm not playing at Dh i will be playing at dp, or cheras.. or even in ampang.. tiring is the word. Sometimes i see it as a routine & get really really tired and worn out.. spiritually, emotionally & physically. Everytime when someone says "Remember this is not a routine & we are serving God so we shouldn't think that way and we should always feel excited & priveledged to serve".. yea and i try to think that way and act it out so that i can be a good example as a leader.. i try very hard to to make myself feel excited and priveledged to serve God but sometimes my body just tells me the opposite.. i get tired. But today i came to realise it today that it is definitely a great priveledge to serve God in such a wonderful way.. i mean heck, he gave me this talents and i should be proud of the one who gave it to me.. Jesus. Sheryl made me imagine what happened if i was part of those underpriveledged kids in sudan.. don't even have an opportunity to live a basic life or to even serve God in such a wonderful manner that i have now.. i am TRULY grateful for what i have. Today marks a day in which my thinking has definitely changed (or trying my best to change it). People around me that i work with sometimes have their shortcomings (me too) and i have to learn to forgive them.. no matter how hard it is or even if they don't realise what they have done is wrong.. but i'm still flesh & blood and i make mistakes but everytime i fall, Jesus is there to pick me up.. eventhough i have a lot of shame, blame, & sin.. Jesus has given us that promise in the bible. As a christian and as someone who is trying really hard to really love Jesus, i have to strive to put the interests of others ahead of me and always have a humble heart, thinking that others are better than me.. i learnt that today when i saw the pre-service bible verse in church today. A few good lessons learnt today... =)

Concert Publicity...

Well.. some of us went out for the concert 'roadshow' in various school for the last few days.. We went to schools like MBSKL, St John's, & Convent bukit nanas. Well the first 2 days (tuesday & wednesday) was in MBSKL.. Well.. it was good .. the first day at mbs was a bit tough but some people opened up to us.. and the second day was even better... more people were open and stopped and listen to us.. if i've not mistaken, se-ken was able to share the gospel with a primary school boy that was hanging out around us for that 2 days.. It was good..

We then went to St John's & CBN on thursday and friday .. hehe i didn't go for the one on thursday. We gathered at 10 am and prepared the drinks for the students and had a great time of prayer in the prayer tower before leaving (everyday). Our hopes were quite shattered when the rain poured heavily when we were at st john institution and cbn.. to make it worst the hitz fm cruisers were there... coincidentally.. argh. But we didn't want things like this to discourage us so we grabbed our umbrellas and went out and invited the students for an oppotunity to experience the goodness of our God in concert! :) It was great! Anyway, here are a few photos.. be encouraged to come next week! For those who went for this few days, and want the photos pls pass me yr thumbdrive or a cd-r for me to get the pics for you.. have lots of them! :) God bless!

Well..

Today was a great day .. things went well in youth meeting.. concert prepartions are coming up well.. i guess the power of prayer is personified through the smoothness of the preparations.. or else by this time we would be yelling at each other. Well on another note, alot of matters are running through my mind now... and also for the last few weeks.. been worried and hurt really badly.. but i think i'm going to pull through. Still very hard for me to settle it because my heart is not ready for it. God's grace is definitely very sufficient for me.. He has proven himself faithful through the test of time.. Anyway, off now.. scheduled to play in damansara perdana together with the youth choir tomorrow. Cheers!
