Quote from my previous post dated 19th July : "Will blog more about it tomorrow." Now is 22nd of July. LOL my "tomorrow" = 3 days.
Sorry yea. Was busy preparing for Taylors College Musical Night 2007 which was last night. And also busy doing my moral project = "The Ten Gurus of Sikhism" :P I'm a last minuter. Haha.
So yea, last night was musical night and it was pretty fun. The string esemble did a great job (*Wohoo!!*). After that pretty much enjoyed the rest of the night with friends XD It was so much fun. There was alot of performances. Seriously ALOT. There was performances by the string esemble, by a rock band called The Dawn, a jazz band called The Awakening Emotion (the guy playing the saxophone was so good and he only started playing 2 years ago)...
*Takes deep breath*
There was hip hop dancing, solo singing (A girl sang Hero by Mariah Carey. She was awesome. I wish I could sing like her.LOL), a musical called "The Petaling Street Love Story" and so much more. *phew*. There was also a special guest performance by Chan Kwok Fai who was the Astro Talent Quest Winner 2005. He was pretty good. Didn't get to buy his album though :(
And there was this dance performance by a few children from the Rumah Charis. Rumah Charis is a welfare home which provides care for orphans and unprivileged children. The profits from this event will go to them. The kids were dancing to the song
Every move I make I make in You, You make me move, Jesus
Every breath I take I breathe in You...
They were sooooooooooooo cute!!!!
Anyways, was supposed to end at 9.30pm. Ended up finishing at almost 12am. But I didn't stay till that late. Went back at about 11 something and missed the musical "The Petaling Street Love Story". *Sigh* I heard it was really good. Oh well, tomorrow I'll go and hunt for people who recorded it :P
Anyways, on Friday the speaker for CF was Pastor Josephine from... (LOL can't remember where). Haha sorry lar I know I have very bad memory. Anyways, she was speaking about prayer and how important it is. And she told us a story where children were called to come on stage and pray for anything they felt God wanted them to pray about. And some of the children (aged from 7 - 11 years old) started praying for Iraq, for Terengganu, for India and etc. I was really amazed...and awed. I mean, these children are so young and they're already praying for countries like Iraq and India. Wow. Was really challenged to pray not only for my own needs but for the needs of the nation, of the country, of Malaysia.
She also told us another incident about a time when she felt pain in her right ear and she had this feeling that her friend sitting next to her was having this problem. And it was true, her friend was having a pain in his right ear. So pastor Josephine wanted to pray for him and with him but he didn't want to. She prayed for him anyway, just not with him but in her heart. And the next day her friend was amazed that the pain had gone from his right ear and he started asking her about God and the bible. And so he accepted Christ and he started spreading the gospel to his friends too. And it was like, wow. The power of prayer, you know.
Sometimes, I feel we don't have to force the bible into a person. I mean, yea, we have a duty to spread the good news, to tell people about Jesus and all, but sometimes, if we try too hard, we'll end up scaring them away. I guess the most important thing is God's timing. God has His plans for every single one of us. And sooner or later God will bring that person to Him. And when the time comes, He will use His people to touch that person's heart/life. A friend told me that once a group of Christians practically surrounded her and asked her if she wanted to accept Christ. She freaked out. We don't have to put a chain around that lost sheep and pull the sheep back to the herd. Let the Shepherd gently lead the lost sheep back to the herd.
Of course, if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. After all, I'm not perfect and I'm still learning more and more about God =)
Till then, bye!
