Burning bush moment

Haha, my goodness it's been like 2 over months since I last updated my blog? haha.

Seeing the tagboard, I feel the pressure and need to do an update at long last... haha.

Things have been amazing, finally getting past 'BMT'. Playing on the worship team, seeing people getting ministered by the presence of God. It's just simply fulfilling, but yet how many of us know that other than just these mountaintop times with God, all of us also have the times in the valley?

I think that's what really makes the Christian walk exciting. That as a Church, we are going through a different timing. As individuals, we also are going through different season. Looking at the big picture we begin to see how our individuality can actually help serve the church, that as we go through such seasons, it's so that we can help others in the future.

I really learnt that we always need to progress, that we need to keep moving forward. Yesterday's revelation is only good for yesterday. We need a revelation for today, for today my friends.

It's amazing to see how God can open up our eyes to things unseen. God was showing it to me through the story of Moses, where he was asked to remove his sandals when he was at the burning bush meeting God. We all know that he removed it because God said that it was holy ground. But the cool thing is, God showed me that he was asked to remove his shoes so that he will stay focused and not move from the presence of God.

We wear shoes when we need to move, need to do things, places to go, etc. So the removing of his shoes, was significant that God just wanted him not to be bothered about anything else! It really is a reminder for all of us that when we come to God, let us not come with just our prayers and our requests. But let's just really love God!

This weekend's going to be exciting, Pastor Lia's preaching and also Pastor Steve Munsey too. It's going to rock our worlds!

A life as a.....

Haha, i can't sleep man.

Been trying to sleep the past hour, but no avail... So, decided to do some blogging instead. Things have been quite boring in camp, wells, not that I'm unhappy about the 8 - 5, it's just that I want to kinda do something? haha.

So wells, now in camp, all I do is talk to my sgts and some of my fellow man, do my BRP and just walk around in camp.. Wells, it really seems slack doesn't it? Truth is, it is! Haha, wells, but when the month comes to an end, then I start doing work, cause there reports that are needed to be done.

Been doing pretty much administration in the CG which is fun, cause it's really increasing my mental capacity to hold more. But there are still things lacking, so I got to more on that. Also, just been thinking about how to get people connected to the CG more, especially when it comes to the integration. It really is fun doing work on the ground, seeing how their lives change and destinies open up in God.

I'm just waiting for this weekend, there's so much on-going. Martyrs Svc with Pastor Joakim, is going to be a blast! And also heart fest, it's going to be a fun time and the finishing off with an evangelist service. How beautiful a way to end a fun-filled day and ironically, it's valentine's day too!

Bring a friend, it's the festival of salvation this weekend!

A post too late to be posted.....

Reading blogs and just popping around to the many blogs of my friends that I have not visited in the past months.

Things are simply amazing, everyone's growing, in thoughts, in the things they do, everything's just going another level higher. It's just exciting seeing everyone grow and of course, not get left behind in it!

Think this post is a little late, mainly because my mind is more in order, haha. Kinda went through an ordeal mentally few months ago, but wells, God is always good and always faithful.

Was reading the Bible yesterday and something really struck me. God actually plans the way for us, I mean we all hear that often, but yesterday it was a fresh new revelation for me. Because it was stated so clearly in the Bible! Ha.

This year is just striking the ground, doing what we do best, in loving people, in events, in giving God the best years of our lives, in being who we really are. The 'Ethos' of HOGC, in bred in us.

This year's going to be a blast, wells it's said every year, but this year, it's going to be even greater. A mega event's coming soon and that will be super cool. An event where a new wave of secondary school students will come, it's time where we spot ourselves in there.

The times where we were young and God reached out to us, let's do the same for this upcoming Heart 'Fest' '09!

CNY

CNY's kinda ended and wells, this year, it's really quieter than the usual.

Wells, we did have our share of fun, movies, gaming and for some of us, Kbox. It was good as it was a period of them where everyone grew closer and also, more than that, it was a time where we got to know more people too, haha.

Oh yeah, and some of us ended our CNY with the grand finale of walking around orchard, to selegie and to esplanade, haha.

It's also back to work and school for all of us, haha. And I'm pretty sure many of us are still stuck in the holiday mood, for myself, I sure am, ha. But it's time to get our engines running and start working, ha.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to the this weekend's combined service. It's going to be a blast. And after that we've got paintball on Sunday, it's going to be fun, but I'm sure it's going to be tiring, ending with hoarse throats due to shouting and all, haha.

So till another time, "Team, move out!"

On a side note...

Hmmm... Apparently, my blog seems dead, ha. Wells, haven't really been updating it up and also personally, don't have much to update about, ha.

Life's simple now, ha. Wells, it's always been just that we as humans make it complicated for ourselves, haha. So now, it's God, church, drums, people and... work? haha. Having too many other things will just get is pre-occupied with unnecessary stuff.

Oh yeah, been going on face-book alot, ha. So I'm like just adding people whom I've seen in church, haha. And it's quite fun seeing some of the applications they have too, ha.

Drumming.... Man, I seriously missed doing that got the opportunity to play again last weekend and it was great, other than just having the chance to serve God in it. It was just amazing seeing people getting ushered into the presence of God. Think as musicians/ worshippers of God, that is really the more important thing.

Joanne was sharing with O2 that when we play our instruments, it should not just be our skills, that show, but rather, it's our spirituality. And that is more important, because skills can never make up for it.

Lastly, on a side-note, I'll try to blog more often, ha. Kinda lost the momentum to blog like I used to, haha.

Haha, had cohesion today and it was quite crappy.

It was mainly dinner, but for 4 hours!? It was insane, ha.

Anyways, I need to get back to the momentum of working, ha. Haven't really gotten out of the holiday mood after having a long break from work. But I'm glad to get the time off also because it allowed me to work out my drumming and other things too, haha.

I'm looking forward to playing again, and I'm getting my first rehearsal this week! It's really been a while, and though it might not seem much, it's really a great privilege to just be back playing, even if it's just 1 song, it's more than enough.

After 1 year and 3 months, finally I get to be involved in rehearsals again! It's going to be good. Gotta get the touch back!

2009

Ha, haven't blogged in a while, and decided to blog for a bit, ha.

Things have been good, had many things running through my mind recently and I'm just looking forward to the new year.

2008 has pasted and wells, for all of us, let's move on, ha. It doesn't matter how the past year was for you, the most important thing is to pick yourself up and move on. We might have completed some things and maybe some yet to. But let's just put things aside and carry on, start the year new and continue running again!

Pastor Lia preached yesterday and it was simply, amazing. What Pastor Lia shared about our 'Ethos' was a great reminder for many of us who have been in heart of God church, regardless of whether you were in the 'Henderson' years or 'FTMS' years. You are still with us, in heart of God church, and in our 'Ethos'!

Like Pastors shared before, we are still pretty much in the beginning, thus don't feel left out, you are family, one of us and true blue HOGC! Hold fast to your calling, you have a destiny in this House.
