Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope is the LORD.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

=D
I love Saturdays! The reason being cause I get to go to church!
Hahs. Ever since I got into CHC, I have changed quite a lot. Cell group and church services became an enjoyable and necessary part of my life.
I had bible study with Dorcas and gave bible study to Seow Wei before service today.
Somehow I felt quite distracted during service today. The first song of praise I felt was kind of draggy. Perhaps I was trying hard to hype myself up but couldn't. The second song of praise was not bad. I felt that I managed to get into the presence of God. The third song was alright but somehow I felt that it didn't flow from the second song. Perhaps because there was a nice slow build up of worship from the second song and it got distrupted when the third praise song came in as the tempo picked up again.
The fourth worship song was not bad. However, I got out at the fifth worship song. It was "What a friend I've found in Jesus". I felt it was quite draggy and maybe personally I dun really like the song itself also. Heh. And also I got distracted by someone beside me. Heh. Sheesh. I really tried extremely hard to focus on God but somehow whenever I closed my eyes to worship, a shadow of tiredness just came over me and my mind and body just switched off automatically. I had to open my eyes a few times to keep myself awake. I guess its most probably due to lack of sleep over the past week. Yawns.
The word of prophecy by Pastor Derrick and the testimonial after the worship somehow woke me up again. Guess I got excited by it. Heh. Its really cool and amazing to see how God can change people's lives around.
The sermon by Pastor Kong was great! He talked about culture - Pop Culture and Christian Pop Art Culture. The sermon was quite provoking as it makes u think and analyse while being mind-liberated at the same time! Indeed, we need to be revelant to our current culture and we ought to be the ones leading the Pop Culture! And being in the world but not of the world is certainly not easy because we need to stay pure and not compromise in the things of God.
Dinner at the foodcourt after service was great. Heh. I'm glad to see everyone enjoying themselves - chatting and laughing =D Heh.
Wells, quoting what Seow said, "We are one BIG Happy Family!"
Okies. Time to rest.
Yawns. Nights. God Bless!
