Worship Finale!
Worship Finale!
I've been wanting to create a blogspot since ... (well, I lost track). I guess technology these days had caused me to plug more into typing than writing ... sigh* that's bad =(
I love to journal but always too ill-discipline to write, and I'm more a typist than writer .. haha
When should I begin to trace back about fond memories I love to recount? Hmmm... yes, that worship finale!
Since knowing that I'll be starting theological college, I had to relinquish all my responsibilities in church - that includes worship leading and playing keyboard. On one hand, I'm excited about what I can learn from the different churches ... yet on the other hand, having to miss my home church for 4 months ... and my friends ... and my godsons !!! My, I just can't think further ...
I led my final worship at the adults' service on 25 June 06. I've always enjoyed singing and being used by the Lord for His purpose. It was mixed feeling - on one hand it was something I loved that I had to miss ... yet on the other hand it was a relief coz I really don't think I can cope with anymore on my plate - it's so full already ! A fellow worship leader commented after the service that that morning's worship was one of my best - to which I said, "Well, I save the best for the last =)" I guess I'm really really really thankful to my good Lord for giving me talents in the area of music and singing.
Come to think of it - I had been leading worship for the last 15 years or so ? since I taught in Sunday School ? WOW, that was long! Reminiscing the good old days - how the group of us taught Sunday School together in the morning ... attends the second morning service ... enjoying fellowship over lunch, then tea, and finally attending evening service together - our energy never seemed to be zapped out of us! That was good old days, but each of us now have our own separate lives to take care of ...
Over the years, I've seen many worship leaders and helped to train some youths as well ... and I only pray that I will continue to hone my skills and not be complacent ... I pray too that I will not become too conservative neither too charismatic but continue to have my own style which God can use, through me, to reach to His own. It seems "all good things must (somehow) come to an end"? - does it include ministry and service too? Maybe it's time to move on to newer and greener pastures =)
I'm itching to lead worship ... help ... - haha, maybe God knows, that's why an opportunity's coming by on 26 Aug. If you happen to be there, that's going to be me! =)
