Shufang tribe gathering..

Well, for one.. i was definitely exhausted after the gathering.. i slept so soundly that night after i went home.. that aside..

Well, it was definitely a different experience standing on the platform and trying to engage the 'congregation' and at the same time worship..

Initially, it was kinda awkward.. with the awkward silence while fangs shared.. tried to ask WQ to play something since she was nearest me.. she hesitated, strumed one or two chords then stopped.. saying that she din dare.. haha.. so funny.. i almost started giggling.

The praise part was kinda funny cos at one point, i wanted to jump and dance and praise God.. but i realised that when i did that, the music stand would also 'jump' with me and this meant that the guitarists would have great difficulty making out the chords.. so i stopped prancing.. as i looked at the back view of serene and yating (couldn't see choi from my angle..) dancing from the platform, one thing struck me was that even though the latter was not comfortable in dancing in front of the crowd.. i was encouraged that she stepped out of her comfort zone to serve God.. and i thought that towards the end of the worship, i could see that she was definitely more relaxed.. and enjoying herself.. BRAVO!!!

Was also encouraged when i saw some of the other gals following along in the actions.. felt that they were also very supportive of us, being in the same family..

I like to close my eyes when worshipping God cos i feel that i can engage God better.. at one point, i opened my eyes and looked at the crowd.. I could sense God moving among His children, using us as vessels to minister to them.. Could really feel God's presence in our midst.. and His assurance that even though we are not perfect, He'll use us to be ministers as long as we allow ourselves to be used by Him..

Well, apart from the boo boos, i think that we definitely put a smile on His face because it was our hearts desire to worship and praise Him! Let's continue to rise up to be true worshippers of the living God!

:-)

In support of this blog, I shall type my thoughts here instead of my own blog...

Have a lot of thoughts about the worship thing, but only have time to write one now: it's a pity we dun have a pic of it, I would have liked to see it! The other thoughts are more serious, too long to write.

Have been going through the piles of letters and cards, the usual holiday attempt to spring clean. Am inspired to write, going to buy some letter papers and write them while attending some XXX NIE seminars next week. If things go well you will get something nice from me the week aft...

Pray for Singapore - Pentecost Sunday

Anyone interested to go together after service?

Let me know if u are.. can go together.. :-)

Hi everyone, is me!

I am kind of bored now. Thus, I have decided to make my first post here and let my presence be felt! =D

This picture was taken in thailand, the little boy beside me is actually a symbol for the toilet in dreamworld. I think we look alike, so cute.

In between my viewing of my korean drama shows, I have created a neopet! The name of my neopet is 'blessedpretty'. Since the name Pretty does not suit me, I shall name my pet Pretty.
If anyone of you has a neopet, please let me know so that we can be neofriends! *clap**clap*


Last night's worship was really wonderful. As I see the whole cell standing on the stage to prepare for worship, I believe that the Lord must be pleased with what we are doing. I must say, we are all very talented. Although I was scared stiff during my lovely dancing, I enjoyed every moment of it. It was indeeed an experience.




Okie, my post looks quite nonsensical in comparison to the other posts but i do not care. I am going to post it up because I spent a long time typing it. ha

Hiya dearies,

Any ideas on how to make our blog more "happening"? Let's not allow it to become another livejournal yeah? Or how about sharing our experiences on the tribal band and our takings from the 144 gathering today? Can just edit this post and add in your reflections! I think all of you have admin rights, if not, leave a msg and I'll go edit your status. Ok..I'll start the ball rolling. :)

Luv,
Ady

This came to me suddenly, in light of all the attacks on our network since the beginning of the year....We must be doing something great, something so wonderful and magnificent that the devil is terrified.

Let us keep doing it and doing it better.

Nobody said it was easy

And Pastor said "Aiyo...this is not the way to treat a sleeping bag!" and proceeded to show us how.

G12: the in-betweens

Long day...fangsiang was getting really really hungry.....




Hee. I love the stages of progression(or is it, regression). nothing much on my side but a lot of action on karen's... :P

Rejoice over the miracles!

Funny how humans like to play with new stuff. This blog is now like the new 'gadget' we just got to own. But that aside, I have my reflections on G12 conference too. =)

Oh yeah, before I start. Where's the purple journal that was supposed to be passed around huh? (I was reminded of it when Ps Khong was doing the introduction part) I only wrote in it ONCE! sigh...

Anyway, I was reminded just now that this is my 5th G12 conference already. From the 1st 'Fellowship of the Ring' to now 'Believing in Faith', I think FCBC has gradually matured into the vision already. I would say the miracle of G12 has taken place. Ps Khong said before that many a times, miracles take place without us knowing; we'd only realise that on hindsight. So, isn't that what's happening right now?

The G12 has divided yet united our church. People change, things change, systems change. Yet our God is a God that is faithful in seeing us through the different seasons of our lives because He is a 'No-Season God'.

A pat on your shoulder to have survived. You are indeed an overcomer! *pat*pat*

G12 conference

Wow.. back from the conference.. actually wanted to do work.. but dun have laptop cos of some delay.. (thanks pretty for helping with the lappie)
Maybe it's God's will for the delay so that i can spend some time reflecting..

One thing that struck me was the video montage done about the past events that our church was involved in.. God spoke to me that indeed our church vision is to be a blessing to the cities that God has called us to go to..

When pastor called for us to shout out our dreams to God.. for a moment my mind was blank.. din know wat to shout out to God for.. then i thought about the faith goal that fangs got us to share during our last G12 meeting.. and I cried out to God to use me to reach out to children from the gateway cities.. to use me and my gals.. to be a blessing to those who need Him.. I will continue to dream BIG dreams..

Looking fwd to the rest of the conference.. :-)

A very prayerful week filled with peace...

With all that has happened, somehow, instead of feeling downcast, I find myself pinning my hope on God and because of that, I feel so steady.

I am praying even more and it was very interesting that I was in a Christian bookshop and I saw the daily bread (Every Day with Jesus) I used to feed on as a young Christian. I decided to buy the Mar/Apr 2006 issue and guess what? The first devotion was on "Prayer reveals the pray-er". It was such an affirmation from God of my prayers and my prayer life. It was as if God was saying to me... "pray, pray on!"

I will keep praying cos human words can just be so much. If we want a supernatural encounter, a breakthrough, we got to pray.

Let us tear down all the schemes of the evil one with our prayers and intercession!

(P/s: Ady has my humour liao... cos of the corny blog name... =) and Grace too, you watering the plants... haha...)
