Welcome to my life! Feel free to tag!

Today, I was reunited back with the puppetree team!! My childhood ministry since I was primary5/6 !! Finally after about close to a year, I get to meet back with the team(although not all are involved this coming easter) and my furry friends... you know what I mean...haha.. what a good feeling =)Last week, I did not have the chance to meet up with the team at Susan's place to discuss the roles and choreography as I was down with a bad flu...only today, I was briefed about my roles for the upcoming easter. I had been assigned a male puppet and funzel and also had a discussion with my fellow puppeteers Denise, Karen and Glen on the choreography/stage positions. The song that be will be doing is the rock version of "amazing grace". Based on the the song, it would be challenging as the beat/tempo throughout is pretty quick and theres lots of specific movements that I had to memorize. Thank God this song is short , that means that the puppeteers would'nt face the problem of aching arms... Just now before the dry run, I only had a chance of about 5mins to glance on the choreograph plans on Karen's songsheet before moving up the stage to go through... That was definitly quite a bad experience as I didn't really managed to digest what was written down 100% resulting in me needing to glance at Karen and Denise's puppet very often.... Next sunday afternoon, there will be intensive practice at Susan's place.. I really hope that most of the technical issues would be finalised by then...

Have you ever asked yourself why are there so many ordinary church goers that always take the initiative to lead or take up higher responsibilities/roles in helping the church grow/improve? Some people may think that it may be really silly and a waste of time and energy to wake up really early in the morning and get to church to set up the sound system, lay the cables for the worship team, tune the projector etc... But think again.. By serving and Lord does, God will definitly bless you many times back..... but of course, it is wrong for us to expect something out of the service for the Lord. Remember it is all about the relationship with God, imagine God sending down is only Son to die for us... what more can we do in return in contributing something back with gratitude and thanksgiving. Personally, I do not take God's grace forgranted, whenever I do, I'll repent. Basically, life is about a constant relationship and commitment. This lifelong commitment is about serving the Lord wholeheartedly with gratitude and favour and showing the world that Jesus is the truth for eternal life! God just just like my parents, giving me all the good stuffs in life even when I fall short of his glory. God is just like my dad.. ask and receive and my joy will be complete! Whenever God blesses me with something good, its either I use the blessing to bless others or use it to magnify God. To give a real life example, God had blessed me with musical talents(drums and keyboard) and instead of keeping it as a personal hobby, I will use it to serve the Lord! As i believe, everyone has their own unique talents.... imagine what is it for God to give us something that is specific and rare... would'nt it be great to return what we have to the Lord with gratitude from our hearts? Imagine how would our parents feel if they found out that we do not even care for them when we avoid returning/sacrificing back something in return for their love for us all these years... of course our parents will feel disappointed in us and may wish to discipline us and take back whataver they had given us to teach us a lesson. It the same way how our heavenly father feels when we choose not to return him what he blessed us with. In the same way, always please God by using what he has blessed us with to serve him. Basically for everyone, God had blessed all of you with good health, have u ever put yourself in the position of people who are born without limbs and arms, some even with defects such as abnormality of their organs. Could these people ever live such a comfortable and active life that what many of us always take forgranted. By the fact you are being able to read my blog from the beginning to here without much difficulty and pain is already a blessing. So give thanks to God for such simple pleasures of health! The fact that all of you are reading this are healthy people please give thanks to the Lord! Never take this blessing of a healthy life forgranted! ALWAYS THANK THE LORD DAILY for the fact that you are able to wake up every morning feeling fresh and healthy and ALIVE!! therefore It is only right for us to make full use of this blessing to serve our creator!!!! Make full use of our healthy life to serve the Lord... whenever you have the time, serve him.. Never be self-centered and keep this blessing for your own advantage. eg using the blessings of God to pursue wordly passions such as status/wealth... many people only realise this lesson once they have been through the situations of "wake up calls"... people who had encountered near death experience and managed to make it back alive and well. So please remember, whenever you have a personal interests, always check if it pleases the Lord and always seek him in every decision you are about to make. Always remember, it is the Lord that sees you through in your life, protecting and guiding you as you grow... always do your part in return with a heart of thanksgiving! I shall end here, I hope this message would inspire and renew your love and passion for the Lord!
