todae..it was car wash. i had to sell breakfast together wif kor(cheryl's bf), mitchell, eunice n chris(i tink). haha..not tat easy duty k? had to hustle here n there real fast..getting their order n collecting payment. but still was rather slack in between..heh ;P kor kept suaning mitchell. poor gal but denz he aso kana frm cheryl cos of something in the end. haha..yeap..we managed to sell everything finish. cool rite?!! chris n i went ard asking ppl to buy the soon kui in boxes and we selled all off. fun manz..kept bugging n asking ppl to buy. opps.. denz went to help amy jie wash car. sorri amy jie..i got u wet. hee.. but i aso kana wet at the side la in the end. all in all..car wash was a success as compared to the previous car wash. ym rasied $1400++ in total which obviously hit above our aim. PRAISE GOD!!

hmm..i dunno why but i feel tat i haf to tok abt the worship session tis morning. worship was better denz last sunday. however..though there were youths jumping, i can sense tat the joy of worship was not there. dey were jumping cos of the song n for the fun but not frm their heart. how are we suppose to praise God? in Psalm 9:1-2 "I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; i will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing prasie to your name, O Most High." and why do we praise Him through songs? there are lotsa reasons as to why. but i am gonna quote one reason frm the bible. in Psalm 28:7 "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song." so why do we become conscious of wat ppl ard mite tink of us? hu are we singing to? worship is only between God n u and no one else. each of us got to haf the rite heart when entering into God's presence n giving Him our praises n worship. it comes frm the heart n not wat we do or how to do it. God sees our hearts when we come to Him. Are we gg to worship frm our heart n bring in the true spirit of worship? it is all up to u. God gives us choices but remember..He alone noes wat's best for us. nobody else as He created us, He is our heavenly Father n we are all His children.

k..gotta go study soon n spend time wif God. nitey nitez frenz..n all the best in watever u do. take care..

todae..jere n khalis came to ym to haf a look basically. but i was glad tat dey told me something which i totally agree wif. it had to do wif the worship but not based on the performance. tis morning worship was terrible based on my opinion. the drums had to be softened. for me, i wanna hear the youths' voices instead of the music. some of the youths were not singing. aso, the spirit of worship wasn't there. it's like there is a hole, an emptiness tat needed to be filled. jere told me tat it had to do someting wif the worship leader. in tis case for todae, it will be issac. he may be hidding someting or watever it is holding him back for truly and really worshipping God. even though he said the Holy Spirit is in our presence, i dun feel it, neither do my frenz. the worship leader is important for leading the youths into a time of worship. yes..i agree tat tis involves both parties. the youths muz too haf the heart to worship God. if ck was able to sense tis too, tat true worship was not there. how den will the non-Christians see as? worship is the starting pt in drawing non-Christians in wanting to noe more abt God. dey will see n sense watever tat are happening ard dem. when dey sense the atmosphere of worship n seeing Christians ard him worshipping God freely n wif their hearts, dey wld be curious n frm there, slowly get him to noe abt Christ. if we bring a non-Christian for worship session n he is able to jump for joy, tat's it. the Holy Spirit is indeed in our midst.

let me share someting tat happened during one session of sch-based ministry. usually, we wld start off the time of introduction n sharing before hafing a time of worship. there was tis time when we were hafing worship. everyting when u see is prefectly fine. but in the middle of worship, jere stopped n told us on tat spot tat the feeling of Holy Spirit wasn't there n tat his guit had suddenly went off tune. it was tuned perfectly before worship session started. yesh..i agree. some of us were not worshipping God wif our whole heart. it was useless on continuing on. so we prayed before starting again. tis time round, guit was in tune n the Holy Spirit was indeed present. the Spirit of Worship was there.

i dun haf any hidden agenda through tis story. but wat i am really hoping n praying tat one day, all the youths will worship God wif one voice n wif all their hearts. tat even when a non-Christian enters, he will be able to sense the atmosphere of us worshipping God. tat he may even jump n worship wif the youths in the end.

yeap..basically tat's all i wanna say here. for all of u hu are reading tis, i hope tat u will make tis as one of ur prayer. thx..n take care!!
