venting =)

i just need to vent.

1. Baptism is in 2 days. and i have yet to write my testimony.
   (2nd July, Saturday. Service is at 5.30pm. At Bethany Evangelical Free Church, 133 Fidelio St. Anyone & everyone is invited! i'd be really happy to see you there, whoever you are..)


2. 1/3 of my musicians can't make it for service this saturday. so i have to come up with a new lineup of songs. and call up everyone who's involved - adults, youths, kids.


3. The worship team schedule i'm supposed to do up for the next 1/2 of the year is due. no, actually its overdue. and the next 1/2 of the year begins effectively.. in 1 day's time?


4. Then there's the EFC All Asia Conference worship slot. its in september, but well. the youth team needs practice. and we don't even have 10 saturdays to practice from now til november, what with normal worship slots and all. so we're starting.. this saturday?


5. FOC is in 5 days. and we've got tonnes of happy work to do! registrations, accomodation, groupings, information dissemination, camp booklets, contacting speakers, acquiring sufficient facilities, making sure we have games materials, planning games(!).. wah.. haha.. crazy lar. but fun. and the Lord has been so good :)


6. After FOC will be preparation for matriculation fair. am sitting on the comm representing bizad.. cos..no one else is.. free?


7. Then after that will be preparation for the Bizad Orientation Week.. helping out with manpower/councillor/seniors recruitment issues. have been arrowed vice-chair of the manpower subcomm cos everyone else is working..


8. After which will be preparations for the Social Entrepreneurship Forum, on the 13th of August. i've been arrowed secretary of the comm. but haven't been doing much cos of other commitments. feel really quite bad abt it since i gave my word to help out in sem1.. and moreover, its quite a big thing for a worthwhile cause.. and social entrepreneurship is something i wanna go into when i'm a bit older.. and more well off.. haha

and that's not even counting other stuff like how i need to help look after my dad also.. after that stupid motorcyclist tried to snatch the bag strapped to the back off my dad's bike while he was on a cycling trip in jb.. dad got flung off and consequently suffered a small skull fracture and blood clots and a cut to the back of his head. he's still so dizzy and can hardly even walk steadily.. don't know why the hospital discharged him also!

but even in these things, can really see God's hand in it.. despite all the busyness.. i've just got this strange feeling of joy in my heart.. although i can't physically see God's work.. and He's works in so many ways we cannot see or imagine.. i can't help but recognise His hand in how my life has turned out so far... and i can't help but KNOW that God is at work.. and i'm just happy living the life that i know He's got planned out ahead of even when i was born or conceived.. and God's just been reminding me that all i have to do is to trust and obey, to deny myself and to let Him take over... and as i learn to let go.. however gradually, He just increases this joy.. haha.. how ironic is that? yet how right it feels!

Trust and obey,
cos' there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey!
