Thursday had discipleship class with Charmaine at riverwalk. Did not know and did not expect that we need to give a mock bible study. Been 1 year plus since I gave bible study. Realise that I am rusty! Commit alot of mistakes that was once pointed out by Charmaine 2 years ago. Repeat the same old mistake. Forget that was teaching Getting Started plus all the people who attended this discipleship class are friends that I know. Was in a comfort zone, forgotten to treat them as people who are new in Christ. The fact that I was the only guy in what look like an all girls class already give me some jitters and when Charmaine announce I am going to start first I was like HUH! Well this week class made me realise I must start taking initiative and offer to give bible study.Was out on Friday with Shang, Chai Huat, Gordon, Daniel and Jian Rong. Did not really want to go out because of the super heavy rain. Was really pouring like crazy. Went home to rest before going out again. The heavy traffic did nothing but to further dampen my mood and "convincing" me that I made a really grave decision to come out. Well but things change when I meet up with the guys. Went to catch fireworks with Shang as he shared with me some things. The fireworks in my opinion was great. Actually don't really fancy but as long as someone want to catch it, I will go with them. Indeed the skyline was beautiful lit. After that, went over to an open area to play bluff before heading to Shang's place to get the car out for supper at the usual place at fengshan hawker centre or commonly known as 85 market. While trying to park his car, he scratch his dad mercedes. Bring back memory while I was trying to get out of the carpark at marine parade this year I scratch my Toyota Harrier. That day my ears suffer badly because my dad was furious. But Shang was better than me his dad understood and never scold . Tong Ren Bu Tong Ming haha. Well had a chance to drive his BMW. Fun experience because is a different model. This experience made me realise I hate driving BMW LOL. I think is not a very good car to drive. Well who am I to complain as long as there is a car for me to use I will gladly accept any car that comes my way.Lead prayer meeting before cg on Sat. Been some time since I lead prayer meeting. I think overall was quite ok. Can't say very happy but well at least is a start..going back to doing things that draw me nearer to God. To enter into His holy of holies. Cg was held at Shang's new place 4 story! Bigger than my house. Well never mind..next year shall have my own apartment if my dad do really get it for me and my twin brother as birthday present. Since he got one for my eldest brother for his birthday. After cg rush down to Expo to serve. Did sermon yesterday. Was stress because it was the first time I ever do impromptu sermon. Seen how Sihui and my IC did the last time. Before that I was like thinking God sure anot I can do it anot. But thank God my IC was there to help me out yesterday. Except for not being vocal enough and not knowing when to cut DSK, I think I quite enjoy the experience. After service had dinner with my IC, Kelvyn and Grace to talk about some things regarding the team. Must say thank God for the favor of man. Is like I have been in Chorus Board since last Dec but really Kelvyn have given me alot of opportunity to learn to serve in different areas. This 8 months in this ministry enjoyed it to the fullest!Sunday service, got to serve as director again. Actually there were some fears because of the title bars for saturday service and the impromptu service. But as usual just got to calm myself down and pray and ask God to cast away every spirit of fear. Today service was run quite smoothly except for the title bar for Calvin who was leading praise today. Everything was alright when suddenly the desktop appear. That was the biggest hoo ha. But God was good..restore peace and calmness in the team. Praise God!Today was the first time where I have to do director and sermon. Pass the directorial position to Grace and went to do sermon. Actually also no idea why I was ask to do sermon as well. But today learn one more thing to expand capacity, under different situation where need to multi-task. Thank God did not make much mistake. Was telling Kelvyn yesterday over dinner, I have learnt to do alot in Chorus Board. The thing I want to see myself now is to be consistent in whatever position I am ask to do. Minimize the mistake and let each time I serve go from glory to glory.This whole week, I think is a great week. Hmm..well I don't know, just felt that is now kinda of easy to talk to Pamela. Message her every Wednesday to chat. But usually is always done through messages. Don't really say hi or bye to her when I see her. But just told myself that I want to be more bold and just chat with her. This week was great, instead of smiling as a sign of hi, decide to be more vocal. Hopefully it stays this way and not for me to go back into "hiding".Labels: my week
