and then all the tears just came. like i have no explanation, but it was just so good knowing that God was just there for me. then i heard some offkey singing behind me [joking!] so i knew that maxine has come forward too(: and was really touched(:
then pastor came to pray for me. he held my hands, through my jacket cos i knew i had sweaty palms(: but yeah i was really crying and crying.and then nana came to pray for me, while i was still crying. she was praying in half-tongues, half english. and it just seemed like all my problems were solved. and she prayed for the Holy Spirit to fill me. wow the feeling of happiness in me was like indescribable(:
and normally i'm not that close to nana, but at that time, it was just so comforting to have her hugging me, assuring me it would be ok.
and i told her my problems and she just prayed for me. and the line that just struck me wasLord just help diane not to care what others think, and just to do everythingyeah something like that. [and everything includes STUDYING]one of the songs we sang, beautiful saviour had one line in relation to that.
for YOU.
Name above every name
yeah i mean, we've sung that song like uncountable number of times, but today it just struck me. like not only is HIS name the HIGHEST, but it's above ALL OTHER NAMES. like EVERY OTHER NAME IN THIS WORLD. yeah, and i was just so _____[i've run out of emotions to describe. haha]
and then after nana finished praying, she sung abit. and then prayed for me again. and obviously i didnt understand tongues, but it made me cry even more. dont ask me why.
and i mean the feeling of being close to God, knowing he'll never leave you, knowing that we can always put our trust and faith in Him, it's just sososososo GOOD. a really nice feeling in your heart.
and like after nana prayed for me, she just fell to the floor. and at that moment, i just thanked God for putting her in my life. yeah lots of times i wondered if she was a good mentor, cos we werent very close to her. but today, i take back all the stuff i thought abt her as a mentor. cos she just really helped me to feel His presence(:
yeah lots of ppl got slain today, cedric and zestin too. and i just thank God for touching so many ppl, ofcourse including those who werent slain(:
and i wasnt slain, but hey i'm not complaining. though when nana was praying for me with one hand on my shoulder and one hand on my forehead, my legs were like trembling.
and i think it was the first time that i never ever wanted the worship to end. like i didnt feel xian or anything, and i just wanted to worship forever. it's like such a great feeling(:
after the service, everyone went back. and i was still crying. i still dontknow why. but nana hugged me and brought me to the toilet. maxine and grace came down to "comfort" me. and i was like, i'm ok.
but when i tried to cough [which is what i always do when there's awkward silence], i just started sobbing again.
after awhile i was ok lah(: i mean i wasnt crying cos i was sad. i was crying cos it was just such an awesome [almost]encounter with His presence(: and i was really happy later(:
i regret all the times i've doubted His existence, doubted His power, doubted Him working in my life. after today's experience,i wonder how i ever doubted when his existence in my life was like SO obvious. i really hope i nv doubt EVER again.
this experience is really smth i cant explain with human words. which would be the reason that this post sounds incoherent. but i just had to tell of God's goodness in some way(:
i totally dont regret going for today's altar call AT ALL.diane(: 170194
