// feeling :: GREAT!// prayer for :: tmr's paper =/
TODAY WAS A FANTASTIC DAY!!!
Let me tell you about it :D
First, there was a small zone prayer meeting with Pst CK. We played games first, then went into a time of Praise and Worship. Pst CK told us to pray, and while we were praying, he mentioned 2 groups of people:
1) those who want to speak in a different tongue
2) those whose fire for God has gone out and want it back
He told these people to raise up their hands wherever they are. To my surprise, the whole room lifted up their hands.
Then he prayed for us, and he laid hands on us. I was
It was so cool! After that, I could really feel God and the Holy Spirit come closer to me. I spoke in an entirely different tongue and my fire for God just came back like that!
After that, my mood for Christ dampened because of dental. I decided to put in pink because I was kinda tired of transparent all the time. I was also hoping that the pink could bring out the more girlish side of me.
Then I went for CGM!! Well, not really la. Went to my hse with Gab first. The door was opened and there were shoes outside. I unlocked the gate and crept inside. Suddenly I saw a shadow move in my room. Freaked me out upside down inside out! Turned out to be the tenant. Scare me sia. He said he wouldnt be there. Lol.
I left the hse to go to Jumbo restaurant to dabao dinner for me, Cailing, Gab and Catherine. The fried rice so much sia and so ex too. But these few days my sister has been blessing me la with food and all that because she understands my cash constraint for A&B.
Watched TV with the cg girls and Dehua. After awhile Catherine came, and she talked to us about the zone and Kristos de Corps. Hehe. After that me and her tried our luck at connecting her laptop to the sound system.
Amazingly, it took quite fast (10 secs?), regarding the other times, which took about 15 mins? Hahaha. I was subconsciously doing a foolproof method to making it work, and she smiled at me, saying that I know the secret to it alr HAHA. I've got a secret weapon ;)
After that, the connection was lost...then when I left my place to talk to Gab in the room, the music worked ok again -.- maybe I've got static or something that affects the connection. Lolz.
CGM was great!!! As great as the prayer meeting :D:D:D
First, Catherine gave us beauty/grooming tips by getting volunteers to demonstrate. Michael went up for trimming of eyebrows, Alissa and Cailing went for makeup. Lolz. Next week may be hair-styling for guys. I think I'll put on makeup on Saturday.
Yeah, then after that she shared a brief message about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. She focused on tongues.
Then, we spent like, I duno how long praying in tongues. We just prayed and prayed and prayed. I could see the difference before and after my renewal of the spirit in prayer meeting. At CGM, I never got tired. I just carried on praying. I never stopped. And Catherine could hear me.
She asked us to prophesy. It was so cool. Weikeong went first, telling us about how God will see us through any storm and how cooperation will keep us safe. Then Maggie went and told us about our bondages that were broken by Jesus and our faith. Last went Michael, and he talked about basing our love for God on God's love for us. He quoted Psalms 91 too.
After that, we gave our offering. It was a special offering, because as the envelope went ard, people were holding onto it and praying about it. It was simply wonderful.
I washed the cups and all, cleaned up the house and left with Catherine and Jonathan. Catherine asked me how come I didnt prophesy, because she had expected me to be one of the first to voice out. She asked what was the point of me praying seriously.
She had to talk to Mag and WK about smth and so Jonathan and I left first. Michael came and gave Jonathan a lift to the station and gave me a lift to Tiong Plaza. We got lost though -.- ended up going round and round in circles.
Well my mom came in and cleared my stuff off my bed. And I kinda lost it at her because I could clear it myself. But now I feel super guilty. I guess she did that because she was bored, and she needed someone to talk to since my dad left.
As he goes, I begin to resent it more and more. I cant get baptized next month because he's not here, cant celebrate Christmas with him and our birthdays. It kinda takes away all meaning in those days.
Whats baptism for your Daddy God when your earthly dad isnt there? Whats Christmas for your Daddy God when your earthly dad isnt there? Whats birthdays when you only spend it with your earthly dad and he isnt here?
As time passes, I begin to be more sensitive to his absense. I'd picture him coming into my room at night to say good night, I dream about him eating with me, I dream about him coming home. Crap. I realised that I miss him a lot.
Is God being closer to me to make up for the absense of my earthly dad? Yeah, I know there's no way thats possible.
But overall, not including my thoughts about my dad, today was a fantastic day. Thank You Lord Jesus. I'm a new person.
Create in me a clean heart
As I come away with You
As I come away with You
Wash away all of my stains
And restore to me the joy I have in You
