I'm blogging at this unearthly hour because my sister wants me to help her burn a CD.
gosh. was so tired out tonight that 2am felt like 5am to me.
I took a nap before i bathed because i was too tired to get out of my chair and bed.. and all i could manage was to get onto bed and sleep. (with my fingers stretched out so that chi can suckle on them)
Then woke up a while later to bathe and burn the disc.
lol.
thank God for ... guanrui! that he took care of chi in the past for me :) and that he still remembers chi. hehee.
thank God for ... huanyan! who offered to help take care of chi for the following week, but couldn't 'cos of his mum. but it's alright:) could see your heart. thanks anyway.
thank God for ... everyone else who offered to help one way or another but couldn't take care of Chi :) thanks to you anyway.
thank God for ... qimin! who readily opened up his house to chi :) hahaa. waiting for him to ask his parents and his maid (hope she's not scared of kittens!) lol.
yup.
i seriously have no idea how some people can juggle between taking care of a child, work, ministry, family.. lol. they have my utmost respect.
-----------------
first time on stage today :) observing a worship practice and really being a backup singer is really quite different. lol.
blessed by donald on thursday when he treated the worship team to supper! hahaa. i was asking him why he decided to treat us.. and he shared that he got his first pay and that he wanted to use some of it to treat the worship team. i can't remember what i said after that, but he added on to say that now i'm in the worship team as well.
wow.
such an interesting thought. the understanding that i'm in the worship team has not yet quite sunk in yet. lol.
i think being on stage is an interesting experience. all of a sudden, i don't know what to do with my hands. when you're in the audience worshipping and praising God, you can jump around, lift up your hands, wave them around. when i was on stage, i suddenly felt like i had too many hands (i still have 2 btw). hahaha. all i wanted to do was to hold the mic and sing. hahaha.
hmmm. worship was a short experience. it started when i closed my eyes, and ended when i opened them. lol.
i think during the heart preparation time before going on stage, i got reminded once again (out of the many times in the past week) that perfect love drives out fear. this verse came back again and again. lol. so i made the prayer for the love of God, the love of worship and the conviction that worship can touch and change people's lives (i sincerely believe this) to be the motivating force as to why i sing on stage.
the audience of one was what i was reminded of as well.
and during worship, i just prayed. prayed for God to move in the congregation. the reminder of how the stage ministers must worship before they can lead the congregation to worship God.
it really was an enjoyable experience :) hahaa. looking forward to the next chance! (if i can get through the probation. haha!)
just a bit worried that i may not be able to spend time during service with my caregroup.. what with the hongkong trip coming up, as well as the consecutive counter duties due to swopping of duty with crystal and the case. ah. really hope the case closes soon. so many things at a standstill in the ministry for a period of time because of it. worried about it 'cos of the splitting of service soon as well.
