Today Sunday service was very special. In fact, every Sunday service is very special to me because it is a day of celebration for The Lord! Thank God for the blessing, I was one of the support singers during service praise and worship session! I know I was not as good as the experienced support singers, but I tried my best to keep up and I knew I was not merely exercising lips and bluttered meaningless words, but the songs that I sang, I sang unto The Lord, I wanted to bring joy to My Lord.
I missed Word for Life class today due to praise and worship practise. It is in fact the last Word for Life class taught by Bro Ricky. He's going off to Penang with his family this Thurs. My heart was stirred by the sermon he preached today. Getting it right this Christmas! This is the first Christmas that I celebrate as a child of God.. I do not want to celebrate like the world celebrates it.. commercialised with expensive branded gifts, total focus on ownselves; I want to get it right this Christmas! I want to celebrate it with a thanks giving heart, a grateful heart for the forgiving of my sins by my Lord.. John 3:16 For the Lord so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. AMEN! Christmas is not just another holiday of the year, another day of celebration with friends and family, another reason to spend and exchange gifts, but a season to remember what The Lord has done on the cross, how He had set us free! I have just complained about being jobless yesterday but the sermon today had indeed stirred me. God is asking me to trust Him with all my heart even during down times.
Prayer: Lord, You know my heart, You see right through it. You know how much I long to know You more.. Lord, remove all the doubts I have and worries that hinder me from trusting You completely. Through thin and thick, it is You that I will hold on to. Let this season of Christmas be a time that wakes up Your children who have fallen asleep, remind us of what You have done on the cross that by Your grace, we are able to be who we are today to offer You all our praises. Lord, help me to grow in You..

I like reading your blog! It's like me myself journeying back to the times when I was a young christian and how everything was so simple in faith and real. In that sense, you are like a hot coal to me! Thanks you.
Also, I'm happy for your first time serving in the worship ministry! I'm glad too that you sing more with your heart, because that's what counts. And then as time pass and you get more experience, your voice will definitely improve. Keep it up.
This christmas (your "first" one) would be celebrating the greatest gift of all. It's God giving the best for us... Jesus!
