Friday
Went on a food frenzy trup with Prem and Pat. The P bros. We travelled to my beloved home-town.. daaaa Chinatown! :D
Gastronomic delight begins since then! I came up with the idea of feast and share. You know like those game shows, where they go around and buy nice nice food to share and eat. That's what we did. We ordered 2 dish in Maxwell market in our 1st stop to share and eat. Then at "Mei Shi Jie" , our 2nd pit stop. And Lastly, our feast ends at Chinatown market. We went home with big big stomachs. We paid 5 dollars each and enjoyed many dishes. Simply fun and nice way to eat :)

Saturday.
We were loaded with lots of inserts and bulletins to prepare as Ushers. Pretty exciting!! The whole B2 Usher corner is laden with noise and people running around, providing inserts, collection bulletins, counting .. etc etc. I got my favourtie position again as Acupointer! I love doing signs :D
While doing TM, i can't help thinking if i am called to another ministry. I haven't prayed about i, but i told mom that i would want to serve in the Terminally illed ministry. Just a simple desire. I do not wish to act or decide until i know its my calling to change ministry.
At that time, i was feeling pretty lonely too. The truth of the matter is, i do not have much friends in usher. I got a very very bad impression of the usher ministry since i join initially. I got -ve encouragements when i first joined. Being a new christian then, i was kinda hurt even though i know the leaders are teaching me something. I am also a super quiet guy then. I simply have 0 friends, except for fun and my Teacm IC.
I felt pretty sad through TM. And then, i said a quiet prayer that i hope that i would have ministry friends as well. I hope that He will give me some so that i will not be so lonely when serving. What happen afew moments next is pretty surprising. My usher friends began to talk to me. Talk about complete change in environment. Suddenly, i was included in their conversation. At the end, one of the guys asked me if i wanna join them for dinner. It really shocked me. We'll usually go our own ways after every service. At least they go their way, i go mine. This time, it seems alittle different. Gee, i can't explain the sudden joy i felt at that moment. Simple conversations that make my night. How great is that ? :)
Ate at LJS, went to look for cards. Then off home i went. I really like Him. He meets needs. :)
I had a long conversation with Joel [from SAJC] later back at home. All the way till 2 pm. We shared about friendship. Somehow, I did something very dumb back then in the conversation. I would say we were not flowing well in the conversation but at least both of us released alot of the hot air stored in us. Its a pretty good conversation nevertheless. I learn from him too. He teach me one very basic simple thing. That if i want to show him that we can carry a great annointing of God, i must lead by example. Words from my mouth will not show him anything.
Church is the place where the annointing and His presence dwell. But its not the only place that great movements can happen. We may not carry the annointing of Ps Benny Hinn, or Ps Kong, but our faithfulness can. Just as Mom shared, our faithfulness sprouts annointings and blessings in our lives. I am willing to show him that. For that to happen, i need to be sensitive to my actions and my commitments..
I slept late that night.
Sunday
It rained heavily. We are meeting for cell group @ 2 pm. I suddenly wonder if the rain will make all of us late. I need to rush to buy some cards at JP. Very likely, i will not be able to reach there at 1330 [ have to lend my guitar to Serene].
Then i suddenly felt happy. ha dunno y..
As i look out the windows in the MRT, i began to think..
The rain outside is simply beautiful .
Raining His presence .
Cell group was fantastic. I prayed hard for a word throughout the journey... so much so i began to feel burdened and worried. Anyway, He is just great. I am happy to say i gave a good word. I was soo happy ! :)
After service, wan yi, me and JX went to have a snack at JP. Then we met up the rest of cell. Then i went esplanade. I love that place. Then i watch a very sweet performance by some Portugeese Trumpeters. They wheeled this wheel-chaird man around while playing a lovely song for him. Very sweet :)
I am too tired to continue. ARGHHHH
God bless everyone :)
