10:18 PM
today is a very wonderful day, and a very different sunday. today, i brought junboon, joe and kevin to church... met together and went for service.. at first, it was quite awkward... but when we reached expo and saw benson, it was better.. haha! for service today, benson and his cell leader sat with us... and so, i was sitting beside benson and amy. wahahaha! and during worship, i could hear benson singing! hehehee! anyway, when we were singing the first song, me, benson and amy were jumping and it felt really nice... and when we stopped jumping, benson turned to me and said "my pants are dropping!" ahaha! and i was laughing madly. hes really funny la.. anyway, it feels good worshipping God together... i was sitting in the middle and both of them were the ones that i brought to Christ some time ago. and seeing God how touched their lives makes me really happy and blessed! after worship, the pastor told those first time visitors to stand up. and my row got... 7 ppl stand up. and those ppl from my cell turned back and 'wow!' HAHA! not bad... felt really happy la.
sermon was COOL! we had a guest speaker today and hes really funny! the first thing he did was to RAP! and it was really funny! oh! really funny man! ahahaha! and the sermon was really different... he even went to play the piano and sang songs for us... and he sang the song " i believe i can fly~~" HAA! and there was a picture of an eagle soaring... and today, the pastor shared about SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS! and told us a story about the eagle mama.... small little eagles were on their mama's wings praising God happily! but then, the mama let the baby eagles fall... she let them fall, but went to catch them eventually. the mama eagle did that many many times.. until the 4th time, the mama let them fall again.. but this time, they fell, but eventually, they managed to fly themselves... so, wads the story about? why did the mama eagle do that? she wants the baby eagles to learn to fly.... when we fall, we'll learn to FLY~~ and thats what God does too! :)
den, we had altar calling! before that, the pastor shared about a tree.... the body of the tree is self-consciousness. and it had 4 branches... FEAR, SHAME, SHIFT RESPONSIBILITY and REJECTIONS. and he said that we can either cut down the branches and let them grow back again. or cut down the whole tree and its roots... and den, altar calling.. i went up with quite alot of ppl in my cell.. amy went up too.. and den, the pastor said alot alot alot of things... what i rmb was that... i close my eyes and he was like shouting in the mike.. and then, i felt as if i was the only one standing in the hall and the words he spoke was like shouting in my mind. "JESUS TOOK THE FEAR, SO U ARE FREE FROM FEAR. JESUS TOOK THE REJECTIONS, SO YOU WONT BE REJECTED! JESUS WAS SHAMED, SO U WONT BE SHAMED!" it was something like that... den, the pastor told us to pray for the person next to us.. and kelly prayed for me! wahaha! and the pastor was shouting again "BE HEALED! BE HEALED! BE HEALED!" and den, i just kept crying... and i felt that my tree of self-consciousness was cut off! and den, we sang worship songs... awww.. it was a very nice time...
after that, we had cluster meeting... abit sian. heheh! den we had processing... and me, kelly and amy went to a corner and we prayed for amy and she received the gift of tongues. WAAAH! amazing man! but shes still a little confused and scared... just like the first time i received tongues... den after that, celebrated eeling's birthday and i gave her a good hug! and we went to new york new york for dinner.. haha! funny man! they treated the place like their own house... indeed, the self-consciousness is gone! HAHAHAA! and we ate free candy floss and i made one myself :) WAHAHAA! den i went home.. and when i was walking home, i was singing worship song.. quite loudly actually.. and skipping back home.. WAHAHA! i dont care what ppl think about me man! ohhhhhhh~~ WHAT A BLESSED DAY!
