First Day

ok, so i started playing blog.y why leh? because i was bored during the holidays and i mean really bored plus a friend of mine told me that it's a good way to express yourself. well, let's try it. This is my first time writing a blog which is some sort of like a diary and I seriously don't know what to write.

let's start with yesterday. my first day serving in the youth force worship ministry. what could i say? it's an experience which you can only get when you're up that. I'm not asking you guys and gurls reading this to go up there in the middle of worship! like i say, it's my first time so of course i'm nervous but as it goes on i started to get a hang of it. at the end, one of the musicians told me that he couldn't hear what i'm playing. T.T sad la.....stand there and play and probably half the time no one can hear what i'm playing. well, it's not about whether they can hear what you're playing but rather about serving God and leading the people in worshiping. During the middle of the worship session, i looked up towards the people worshiping. From where I was standing, I realized what every worship team nightmare will be. The people there standing there staring at you or maybe leaning against the wall. It's something really sad to see and at the same time discouraging. Imagine yourself up there playing or singing while they're there staring at you. the good news is that I only see that on my right side. While they're staring at us(the worship team) the youth's on the left hand side of me, WOW, it's really amazing you know. the way they worship and praise God. It's really encouraging and .......(sry la, no words to describe).

What the pastor preach towards the end is really true. How do we come before God. Do we just approach him when we are in need or do we walk by His side daily in our life? Ponder upon this question on your spiritual life, are you one of them? If so, it's time to change. One more, they way we approach Him especially during praise and worship. Do we stand there starring dead straight ahead as if attending a funeral service?or do we close our eyes and surrender ourselves before Him? Imagine yourself, asking your parents for maybe um....money. There you are, asking your parents for money and their reaction, your mom with folded arms starring at you one of a kind and your dad, with his legs up anywhere reading his newspaper shaking his head left to right. How would you feel? It hurts right? that's how God feels when we approach Him in that manner.

ok lah, guess you're tired ady la reading. Anyway i wanna go sleep liao. Been facing the comp and TV the whole day.
