I'm trying to find a new piece of music to make it into a ringtone for my phone cuz i think its time to change it! hahahha Picked "learned my lesson" but 30 secs is a little short for the part that i want.. so seeing if there's a better choice.. AND i chanced upon "solid rock" in my itunes! hahah that brings back lots and lots of memories!!not just in church but esp in my cg... i still remember the time we were still in s23, still in edwyn's old house at marymount, in their study room and actually DANCING to the song!! hahaha with that famous action for "on Christ the solid rock we will stand!" hahah that time while i was still in jc, while most of us were in sch and sometimes we can be really crazy! and there's a video too! we took it but i have no idea where is it now.. but really, those times were great! sometimes i just wish for more energy and more enthusiasm in the current cg... we're made up of younger ppl! yet the energy level can be like an old person! but wait, dun belittle old ppl! that time i helped out in dialect church and i could see the energy and love for God they have... it really amazes me and makes me think how much do i really love God?
e432! we should be more hyper! more enthusiasm! more expectancy! more movement and crazy tots! it's only when u start thinking of the impossible and the ridiculous will u then do greater things! cuz that's u'll realize its God's moving in you rather than u yourself trying to accomplish something!
and i gotta remind myself this too.
the first love is usually so strong, when we first know God and realize that He is our saviour and when we just get to know Him and the bible, everything seems so new and amazing... but many a times, after a while, we grow up, we have more responsibilities, we heard so many a message, that we lose the first love, that we lose the hunger, lose the expectancy for God to move in our lives, we think we know so much and then, we start to complain about dryness, about how God seems so far, about how we are now so busy to even spare some time for God, about how ministry is tiring or taking too much time, about how we lose the once childlike faith we had...
we may wish to go back to our first love with God, we may be impacted by a message and faith arises in us, we may be touched by a worship song in church, but these usually dun last long.. that transient feeling... but a decision to love God more, to place God first, to sacrifice time for God, to take that step of faith, and with that decision, make a commitment to do it. it takes discipline for that decision to be able to bear fruits! feelings can make us move to make a decision, but a decision doesnt last long if its not coupled with discipline.
and its never too late, nor never too young, nor is it to old, to revive that love with God, to speak to the old bones, to move to do things, to make a decision to commit, to love God wholeheartedly... God is waiting for us to do it...
so, soak up the sun when its shining, let the sun illuminate what we have, feel that rain on your skin if its raining and remember that no matter what, no matter where, no matter the season in ur life, we have a destiny and a promise in Christ. =)
