It's been weeks since I posted my last entry. So many things has happen and I really don't know where should I begin with. Its gearing up to my exams and I am really trying to get into the MODE. Firstly, The past few weeks was full of written and competency test plus increased activities in the lifegroup!!! Looking back I am Glad I made it through managing well(;(;Thank God. All these events in the past 3 weeks!!!
First up! i-Week!!! Pizza, Play & PANCAKES(:
The cast were amazing(; It was So impromtu!!!!! everyone reacted soooo well! realli an awesome bunch of talented individuals but more encouraging thing is their heart of service(: CHEERS!!!
the Turnout was AWESOME!! plus I believe many were ministered to that day(; Somehow I can't put a finger on it.. But I know that things are changing from good to GREAT!!
Next Up, Playing the Piano(;
I guess I have fallen in love again with the keys. I just love the feeling of running my fingers up and down the black and white steps. Just take a moment and enjoy the beauty and serenity it makes(; it just changes the atmosphere and your heart's condition(>.<).
My first time playing for Hope Church Brisbane's PRAYER MEETING!! AWESOME!!! indeed serving is a privileged because the One we are serving is greater than Kings! Thank You all for your encouragements(;(;(;
Another amazing piano event happened on one sunday afternoon. I headed off to school in the morning for a meeting with the leaders of the lifegroup to have a review session. The location where we held our meeting was at a nice pizza cafe with a grand piano at the corner of the room*free for public use*
After the discussion, I went over to play a few random tunes just to prepare myself for the service later on...
Heart: "God, today is day where we are suppose to give our pledge for building Unidus-.- but I don't know how I would be able to give & fulfill the pledge?"
Therefore I hesitate on this matter on giving for a while..
I felt God saying: " Have Faith that I'll provide."
Not too long after, an old lady wearing a purple dress with a red cap walked into the cafe and stop at the side of the piano & gaze at the beautiful scenery through the glass window. I thought I was distracting so I stopped...
She complimented on my playing and requested that I continued on...... so I did!
*Ilovethepiano and there was something about requests from the elderly that I wouldn't refuse*
After finish playing the 1st tune, I raised my head and saw approximately 10 individuals with the same attire gathered round the piano!??!?! I was shocked and apprehensive to continue playing. However upon their request, I continued on. The beauty of it all, is doing what I love so much and seeing it be a blessing to others(; AWESOME COMBINATION!
I finished off the medley of tunes with
Jesus shall take the highest honor.
Simply Love the song! The lyrics, exaltation and the heart behind it all...
This is where the providence start(@.@)
One of the old lady stood up and collected some money from the rest as token of appreciation of my playing?!?!?!?!?
~Firstly, I am flattered that they appreciated those tunes(; It was an encouragement(;
~SECONDLY, I don't do this for MONEY!!!!!!!!!!I play because I want to.
The money was pushed back and forth. Eventually she placed it on the piano chair and said that they would just like to thank me for taking time to play the piano for them(;(;
She said: "Run along and get some lunch with that money." She smiled and then they made their way slowly out of the cafe.
I came to a realization that day. Music makes no sense if its only meant to satisfy yourself.Beautiful Music need not to be fancy pieces as simple tunes alone can capture hearts.
God showed His providence that day(; and I went on to place the pledge. In addition, that afternoon i was asked to play an altar call song at the end of the service. Guess what it was?
Jesus shall take the highest honor! I clearly say that He is relevant and in REAL-TIME!
I hope that this inspires YOU to have faith and serve with the Heart!(;
Last Thing,Tests!test! & More TEST!!!
I am taking toooo long for this entry!!! but anyway I wouldn't be updating till the end of the exams so why not make it a long right?? (;
The recent tests such as the drilling competencies & the case analysis were major milestones in this course and there were many failures ): I honestly thought that I wouldn't fair as well in the knowledge of what my friends had received. But Praise the LORD! I did well!!
I passed my competency all 3 tries*failing one would void the results of the first try*
(each time was a nerve racking and intense 2 hr slot & loads of post-prayer!!!)
I did well enough for my Case analysis(: contented
(Reminder:dun be greedy ar!!)
To my sheep, Prayer moves the Hands of God(; have faith my brother...have faith...
lucky? Coincidental? I believe its God's favor as I know the times when it was not only my own doing but inclusive of the wisdom and discernment that comes from above(;(;(;
Life was never meant to be mundane and uninteresting, that's why it has its Ups and downs(;
