Persisting
Today Pst Tan preached yet again a sermon dat was filled with anointing and impact :D i really enjoy him sharing the Word.. i never fail to be inspired each time with his teachings.
Today is the 2nd time i served in Chinese Svc after my long hiatus preparing for AC and Christmas drama. And the first time 2 weeks ago, i had very gd reviews from various ppl, dat my playing has greatly improved :) My ability to flow with others has improved.. my chops.. my time keeping etc...
Well, indeed it's by God's grace dat i had a breakthrough in my playing :) And i dun think it happened by chance. I think the breakthru came when i decided i wanna be a servant of excellence :) Every song i am given, i wanna make the best of it :) Every song dat i am given, i wanna infuse my story of salvation and redemption in it :) I.e playing straight from the heart, worshipping God with the expression of my gratitude.
I wun forget wat Benson told us 2 weeks back dat as musicians, we must minister to ppl with our playing and not just go thru the technicality of it all.. If we want ppl to be ministered to, then we ourselves have got to be ministered to as well. And dat is done by coming at the foot of the Cross and laying our all before the Lord.. And expressing that in our playing.. When I can experience His love, redemption, presence and touch, ppl in the congregation will also be able to :) And dat is how i intend to approach every opportunity given to me to serve :)
Today there were good reviews once again :D And i am looking forward to serving in greater capacity. This is the talent God has placed in me, so I will do my best to use it for His glory :)
Well, back to today's sermon.. pst said many things dat really touched me.. and i caught them :) He cited the passage in Acts about Paul's encounter with the Lord - his first. And he said that sometimes we just gotta be blind to the natural things around us, to be able to see above and beyond into the spiritual realm and see the vision God has in store for us :) Get rid of all the natural clutter in our minds and breakthrough with our spiritual eyes :) Dat really shooked me.. dat Paul prayed and his eyes were opened to see the spiritual. So, better to be blind naturally, than to be blind spiritually..
This year i will see a breakthrough in my own prayer life :) Gonna really just BE THERE with God ya know? like.. i mean, come before Him with NO REQUESTS watsoever, and just to fellowship.. dat's all.. too many times we come before God with a shopping list of prayer requests. I cant stand ppl who come to me just because they need my help and nothing else.. they have no wish to be frens with me, they only want to make use of wat i have to offer them and dat's all..
And i believe God must have felt the same way with me many times.. i can't even begin to list down all those times where i really took prayer for granted.. :) But today, my whole concept of prayer has been renewed.. You know wat.. i am so looking forward to the morning and evening prayers in Feb :) and my personal goal will be to attend as many as possible, and if i can, to attend both morning AND evening :) I think dat will be awesome breakthru for me!
I didnt make it pass my 2nd round of interviews for the SIA flight cabin crew position.. and i was pretty disappointed then, cos i really wanted it badly. I was ready to 'lay down my life' for it. yeah.. But well i think God has other plans in the meantime for me. Think of it this way, i can now afford to go for the prayer week, serve in chi svc in March, serve for Easter drama.. Yeah~ So not too bad actually.. haha :D
But i wun give up. I'm gonna try UNTIL i get it.. gonna bug the living daylights out of them.. so yeah i'll be looking forward to the next recruitment drive :D And thank God for frens in the aircrew fellowship! I was invited to one of their meetings this coming tuesday and i am looking forward to dat! I think it's gonna be an eye opener for me and another opportunity to expand my network of frens, build new relationships which is part of my goals for this year :D
Well, yea, dat's some latest update in my life :) I really sense in my spirit, this year will be a year i breakthrough in career and relationship :) Because for the past year, dat is wat i have been writing at the back of my offering envelopes. A breakthrough in career and relationship :) And i think i aint seen nothing yet..
