Youth Sunday

Haha! To be very frank, I was very annoyed and frustrated on Saturday. Practise so hard then at the end tell me change in flow of service. Then practise so hard on one song then at the end never use. I wasn't angry with people lah but I was just annoyed because being musically declined, it takes me longer to adapt to changes. But I thank God along these years, I am learning to control and manage my emotions. Haha!

Then today at service, I must say I felt so comfortable even though we only manage to practise the day before. And also considering Darren and Natasha playing the first time as a team and also James and Amelia first time on the Sax and Violin respectively. I really enjoy every moment of it. With the violin and sax solo part, it really give a new dimension to the whole worship. I do believe we still have space for improvement but I still must really affirm the whole team. I had a few compliments from the adults. They say the vocals were clear and distinct and the musicians provided a nice mellow feel to the worship. Hehehe! Well done people! There is also suggestion to keep this combination as a band.

Then Pastor Edwin preached about the cost of being a disciple of Christ. Then Rev Wong added on with some sharing which I thought was pretty interesting and funny.
He was having a conversation with his ex- fellow collegue who was a Christian as well. Then his friend ask him when is it the best time to serve the Lord. And he say that the best time to serve the Lord is in the youth because that's the time when one is carefree and don't have to worry about putting the bread on the table. And his friend carried saying that if we missed this chance, there's another better chance to serve the Lord. That is when one just started out in work because as a junior staff, there's less responsibility and will have more time to serve the Lord. Then he carried on saying that if one miss this chance, there's another better chance to serve the Lord. When one is a high authority personnel in the work because one will be experienced, influencial and wise to serve the Lord. Then again he said that if one missed all these chances, there's still a better chance to serve the Lord. When one is lying on the bed, breathing one's last. There is no worries and everybody comes to visit you. It's a good chance to evangelise. It is pretty comical but yet so true. The best time to serve the Lord is now, wherever we are, whoever we are and whatever we have.

Lord, may I be a vessel for Your glory and Your work! Use me as who I am, where I am and what I have.
