Yup, I have got to get my butt up and go to church no matter what happened. I promised myself. I did not believe that I actually fulfilled my promise. Because I usually don't,pathetically, yes. Either I am making unrealistic goals, or that I am procrastinating. God knows it all. Sinners Jesus came to call =) Thankfully, I was moved by the Holy Spirit through out the whole process. The whole hassle is still vividly floating in my mind, looking for directions, emailing for confirmation, reading their web page for information.
My second visit to this Chinese church. First time was with my lovely aunt, she used to attend the church when she was at my age. I urge for God's message desperately. Guess that's why I ended up there, despite loads and piles of drudgery work. All those -- I have set aside, temporarily. Their way of worship is a little different from my previous ones, although not charismatically, there are still something missing. Now I do appreciate Pastor Poh's preaching, so immensely in depth and feeling replenished.
I will stay firm on my believe and my way of worshiping. =) May it be so.
The Holy Spirit moves my heart again when I was showered with God's word. I have learnt a lot, indeed. We humans are simply selfish, aren't we? We often said that we put God as our first priority, but deep inside our heart, only a handful of them meant what they said.
Just a story I heard to share with...
" One day, Jesus asks his people to meet him at the top of mountain , He also asks them to carry a stone with them...... Paul did carry a stone, but a small one.. After Lord's preaching and prayer, He turned his people's stone into manna... Paul was upset as his was just a small one........
Another day, Jesus asks his people again to gather beside the sea, and too carry a stone with them. This time, Paul brought a huge stone... But after Lord's preaching and prayer, he asks his people to throw their stone into the sea... Paul was mad.......... "
I am glad that I was there, receiving Lord's message that quenches my thirst.
And that there are hymn books with hymns that I have sang before... =) familiarity strikes me as I glance through all the songs... was kinda hugging it throughout the service. Unfortunately, they do not sing hymns from the book... HMPH!
Anyways, I am very satisfied.Happy~~~~~~ ^^
