Time to take a step back

All the big events in our zone are over, except for the young adult dance event that has been put on hold till further notice. So now, i have time to breathe again.

It's really such a relief that all of the big events are over, at least for the time being. Yesterday, especially after the youth evangelistic meeting is over, I can see that relief in all of the youth ldrs' face. Really a great relief. One thing I notice... The youth CGLs really took charge of the meeting. They ran the auditions, rehearsals, saturations and also the actual meeting all by themselves. They made their own decisions on songs, events, performances, etc. EVERYTHING. And then they realised that Pastor YK is not even going to be around to preach! HAHA. I think BK nearly fainted knowing that he gotta be the one preaching. In the end, we got Joseph instead. But still, I think BK should go for it the next time. Afterall, Pastor YK preached to 200 over pp when he was only 18? I will vote for BK to preach in the next evangelistic mtg!! HAHA.

For the youth CGs, I really think you guys are just so awesome to be able to run this entire event all by yourself. Just now in the service, I thought of all of you when Pastor Tan said, the members should really appreciate their CGLs. I thought to myself... My zone ldrs are reali great! I think you guys know that you are here bcos of souls and lives. Not abt special recognition. It's really such an encouragement to see you all lay down your lives for others. Thank you very much. It brought much delight.

Service was very good. We sang Amazing Grace in a slightly different tune. But the song is still as anointed. Tears flow down. I think the members were very touched as well. Anyhow, I just felt in my heart that it's time to take a step back. Breathe, pray and seek God. Pastor Tan's sermon reminded me of a post that I put up a few months ago about saying no to some good things. Reminded about "Do not strife with me." My heart was so stirred. What would that mean? It means nothing until a decision that propels me to a direction.

God is good.
