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!
