past
When griping grief the heart doth wound,
and doleful dumps the mind opresses,
then music, with her silver sound,
with speedy help doth lend redress.
-William Shakespeare
Slip foot
How much actually happened in such a short time... plenty I'd guess. I remembered the caroling at Esplanade. Honestly all I remembered that night was us trying to stay awake, and walking one big round and ending up back at City Hall. How marvelous.
Christmas period for me was all work. I guess I didn't mind because there was the Meta camp to look forward to on boxing day. If I were asked to rate how much the camp rawked, I wouldn't jump to give an answer. Perhaps I expected more... I think we all did. But well, I really loved the omega night. I thought that was the best. I enjoyed Project X too. I was simply amazed at how God worked right in front of my eyes.
Project X is an event in the camp where all the conferees are sent out to all over the nation to do street witnessing. Melissa and I went to Bedok and somehow we decided to sneak into Pasir Ris Secondary which was really near the Mrt to share the Gospel with students. The first miracle happened when we saw a piano in the canteen. To others it probably wouldn't have meant a thing, but for Melissa I think she saw the realness of God. Here's the thing; just the day before, she was jokingly complaining about getting withdrawal symptoms because of the few days that she hasn't been able to lay hands on a piano... fingers feeling the itch apparently. She even contemplated going into some Yamaha store to satisfy her craving during Proj X. I mean... how often do you actually see a piano placed right in the middle of a secondary school canteen ?? And there it was, a piano right in front of us... in a school which we should'nt even have been allowed to enter. God is so good. I stood amazed. Well she played and sang 'Why'... I stood amazed at that too. Hahah. She's got a voice that's mesmerizing.
We waited but because it was school holidays, there weren't students for us to share with. Somehow we decided to wait, and then 4 guys walked into the canteen. I went up to them and I tell you, from all the many times I've shared the Gospel with people, this was best experience I ever had sharing the Gospel. The guys were so friendly, one of them even showed us a magic trick as entertainment. How darn cool is that. Found out that he was already a Christian, and when he shared his life testimony, I was so encouraged. I didn't have to share mine because his friends would have already seen Christ in him. Now that's what our vision is all about, 'So that every student will know someone who truly follows Jesus'. We managed to share with a total of 8 people that day, and we really saw God's providence.
That night when the entire camp gathered back, we saw a total of 65 people receiving Christ across the nation. Praise Jesus ! The harvest out there is plentiful man... people are just waiting for that someone to share their faith with.
Apart from all those, I remembered serving in the camp as worship leader. I had imagined myself being so excited to talk about my experience leading the worship session at night with a band in front of 500 over youths crazy for God. But now all I face is reluctantness as I recall about the experience. It was a really humbling time for me. I didn't feel any ownership about the session that I led, but I had to submit to the leaders. I could only pick 1 song, so the whole thing wasn't personal to me, and I ended up not enjoying it at all. Worst still, I couldn't really feel the 2 songs that were chosen for me, so it felt like I was just singing them through without heart. But I learnt at the end of it all, worship isn't about how I feel, because worship ultimately is for God, not for me. I wondered how many people actually could worship freely that night... I couldn't... I think I seriously screwed up. So much I had to do in just 15 mins... how great. I was so looking forward to it... but what I thought would be one of the best experience for me, turned out to be one of the worst. God You're still worthy of praise. May I be decreased so that you can increase.
I thank God for the entire year. This has been one whole amazing year. I'm grateful of how God changed me from the person I was. Right from the beginning til the end. I've so many accounts I wouldn't be able to write them all down. It is truly truly indescribable... every single experience that God has put me through. Truly the desires of this world will fade away, but the man who does the will of the Lord lives forever. I've slowly learnt to sacrifice all that I have. This life is not mine to live, but God's. And that's the way it will be this year again, and the next, and forevermore.
This is no sacrifice.
Here's my life
