wow. smas was just over... and i think that this yrs smash was pretty good! kudos to the fellowship com for carrying it thru despite the many changes and stuff we had to do :) although i wasnt really involved this time arnd i was busy running arnd helping out and my feet are dead now! like seriously blistered lah haha. oh wells. good thing in india i will be wearing slippers alot :)
anyway... i learnt many things today!the rain, for one. the last time we had an event and it rained darren lectured us on not praying enough and not putting our all into it, and it was true, because we din. but this time round i think we really did try our best and we were really praying and stuff, but it still rained. it really reminded me of indo when it rained at the time of our performance and stuff but God was glorified in the end! and i guess in this situation God WAS glorified in the end cos most pple only remember the wonderful worship and all the other stuff, not so much the rain and things :) and it also showed me how some people are really helpful and spontaneous, esp the sec 2 boys and thier leaders cos when they saw us cleaning up the court and stuff they just came and helped and also to the sec 3 and 4 boys who were so willing to help. its like i dunno. these people often get taken for granted but i was really seeing what servant hearts those boys have.
also, the worship was really really good today... was like dancing and crying and screaming for God and it was so wonderful. everyone was really just raising thier hands and crying out to the Lord and it felt so wonderful to be a part of it. God was really there tonight and i agree with esther that we shld have more worship sessions like that!
i was thinking about what uncle kk said in his sermon abt what the tsunami means to us personally and i guess to me it taught me about faith, in that even in the face of such natural disaster, faith is indeed strengthened. its wierd in a way but i kinda saw it today. like when it was raining and stuff, instead of making me feel like God wasnt there listening, it made me pray harder and with more faith than before. even though my prayer wasnt answered, i still knew that God was there with me. not very sure how to explain. but yeah. and also that the ultimate goal is for God to be glorified. human lives are nothing compared to the glory of God, and if God can show His power through such a disaster then we should give thanks for it. in the end times there will be destruction and death everywhere but it is for the glory of God, and so we look forward to it and anticipate His coming, so in the same way i give thanks for the tsunami, not because im like sick in the mind or wad, but because im sure that God has a greater plan for it.
when uncle kk was reading the passage in revelations, i turned to my bible and was reading it. and at that moment, i felt alot of fear about the end times. not so much fear of the dying and stuff but fear of not living my life to fruitation, there are so many things i have not done or experienced, and i really would like to do them before i die or whatever. so i like couldnt read on anymore because of this fear.but later on in the worship God kinda told me not to fear because the end times will be glorious, that the joy of His presence will be more wondrous than any experience or anything in the world. so thank You Lord!
God rocks. and i pray that in the yr 2005 He will be glorified in my church, my country and my life!
