yesterday's service was just AWESOME!
yeah it reallyreally was(:
jl led worship(: hahah he very cute. and like i know he's not the best singer and all, but like pastor adrian said, he really has a heart for Christ(:
and i could reallyreally feel God speaking through him, ministering not only to me, but maxine and lots of others too i think(:
you know abt the altar call thing. like the past 2 weeks there've been altar calls. and i was just too afraid to go up.
it wasnt that i was afraid of committing myself to God, it was just all those stupid non-impt factors. like being paiseh, or worrying what ppl would think of me [since i wasnt exactly like the comm ppl who always went up] or like not knowing when to go up, whether the song would end soon and i would look dumb. stupid stuff like that.
but yesterday. wow(: i just totally felt it in me to go up. like He was giving me a push(: telling me not to care what ppl thought. only His opinion mattered.
and i was just reallyreally comforted by that feeling. the stuff that jl said just made me cry. like tear up and all. and he was saying:
we're gonna sing this next song, Healer. and all those who want to just start
again with God, can just come up front. drag your friends along with you if you
need.
at that moment, i tapped maxine and she turned. and i saw her crying, just like me. i tell you i was supersuper touched by it. and we just went forward. no questions asked. hallelujah(:
up front we were crying even more, as the words of God speaking through jl, and the lyrics of the song, just touched our hearts. i tell you we were crying like babies. and we werent ashamed of it(:
aunty bell was praying with us for aunty priscilla and all 3 of us cried even more. after that we went back. and finally stopped crying. but i think i can say for the both of us, that feeling of comfort in our hearts, didnt go away(:
class was good too! nana led class, and me and maxine had agreed to answer the questions and be more responsive in class. and we went through the lesson as normal, then summed up the whole series. and then they asked if we had any questions.
we asked lots of questions, but the one that really affected me was the one abt tongues. nana and minxian were explaining to us what it was to be slain. cos nana had been slain before.
now that i think of it, God was answering my prayer(: i rmb in my last post i was still wondering what it was all abt. and nana and minxian just like read my mind(: before we even asked the questions.
yeah maxine told me what chick said, that desiring the gift is not enough. He gives us this gift out of love, and we shld use it out of love, and not to haolian to others.
hahah yesterday was just an awesome day in general(: haha and it was fun before youth too. i [attempted] to study with behlary.hahah and we ended up doing classwork. which was good(: then after youth i went to marcus' house. some mooncake thing. and i did some work. and mostly played with babies(:
now i got lots of work. yeah. and studying too. but for some reason [i.e. the peace of God :D], i feel relatively calm(: just pray that i dont get distracted. AGAIN(: but yes, i really gotta study.
lyrics from one of the songs ystd(: that really got me pumped. and i am determined to let these words really work in my life:D
what the world will never take
With all I'm holding inside
With all hopes and desires
And all the dreams that I've dreamt
With all I'm hoping to be
And all that the world will bring
And all that fails to compare
You say You want all of me
I wouldnt have it any other way
I've got a Saviour and He's living in me
WHOA
I wanna know
I wanna know You today
And You're the best thing that has happened to me
And the world will never take
The world will never take You away
No one could ever take You away
me & maxine have been thinking about baptism in the Holy Spirit alot
& i pray that God'll just open up all these doors for us
yup(:
