First off, I want to thank God for this very day as I got to experience somethings which struck me in awe.. Secondly, I want to thank Pei Wern for really encouraging me to attend the last night of APYAC conference and thus leading me to such an awesome experience.
It was actually pre-planned a night before that I will meet Pei Wern at her church at 4.00pm, attend the church service and then follow her to GTPJ.
But then, my plan went abit haywire as the logs check took a longer time then I expected thus, I was late to church. Din miss much though, only the worship session.
Today, I walked into a unusual church service (for me at least)... This Pastor came up and preached, then asked us to bow down on our knees and give thanks unto the Lord. This is something new for me.. =) After sometime, he called the people who are sick or has illness or has problems to come up... He started praying for them one by one and one by one fall back... I was more stunned then... O.O I really have not seen this before.. And then youths went forward. That point of time, my heart stirred. Pei Wern came and talked to me about going upfront and receiving the blessings. In my heart, I was like, 'Seriously? I have practically no idea what is all these about...' I was doubting and found a chair to sit down..
As I was sitting there, I was praying to God, asking Him if I should go up and receive the blessing.. Unexpectedly, this guy from the church and a pastor approached me and told me to just go forward.. I was like 'Uh... Uhmm....', so confused and then just went up with the support of PW..
What was really fascinating and awesomely cool is what the pastor said to me when I was there! He said something along the lines, ' You will serve in worship. You are gifted with your fingers to play the drums and the guitar. You have a creative mind to do creative arts in serving Him and you will dance in His joy to praise Him '
Bear in mind that the pastor knew nothing of me and I have never spoken to him in my life before.. For him to say that to me, I believe its something else.. =)
APYAC was another kind of experience. The worship there was awesome.. =D Imagine me with a almost gone voice at the end of the night...
The 'theme' is "Speak to the nations" and I felt that it really impacted lots of ppl there to do more for this generation. I believe that the conference really touched the souls and lives of the ppl there.. I was kinda moved even for that short period of time.. I do believe that if we take the initiative and the steps to move forward and do something bout it, God will guide us all the way and make things happen.. =)
Revived with new passion!
