i'll start of with thanking Glenn, Chai huat and Valerie. feel that so many times we take our cg guitarist for granted. expecting them to go home and do their home work and deliver a wonderful performance. when there are mistakes we tend to blame them instead of ourself. really thank God that glenn and chai huat make it happen and also willing to avail themselves. of course val also help me out a little here and there.
led praise for cg this week. knew that i will be taking praise last week. so i pract with glenn and chai huat after cg last week. asked charmaine can i have 2 guitarist because i wanna try something "new". want to show that we can bring praise to another level.
well had them pract their strumming, going through both songs again and again. friday met up and we pract for 2 hours plus before we call it a day.
whole week was quite anxious because singing is not my strong point..and i even had mini pitching lesson with charmaine a couple of years ago. and from then on..i try to shun from taking praise except for prayer meeting. was quite concern can i pitch well anot. did not have much confidence the last few days that lead up to cg.
msg pamela hours before i was to meet up with glenn and chai huat for pract. one thing she told me was to have confidence in whatever i am doing. the past few sermon messages char and pst was sharing was about having confidence as well. thank God for her because she really remind me about what i have been learning. got to have confidence in myself.
yest cg..char was late. not suppose to have games but because she was late i did an impromptu game. played an old school game followed by an old school sabo. after svc yesterday, char evaluated me and said that she felt it was good except that i need to give more vocal command to show leadership. although there are times my pitching was off but i was quick to cover it up. before praise i thought char would tell the cg i will be leading praise but she forgot..but she said the way i come in was good. is really an encouragement yesterday.
personally i felt that the first praise "God of ages" wasn't quite good but the second song was great. because of my poor vocal command..thought that i will screw up the first song but God is good. glenn and chai huat was zai and i did not panick also. felt the peace of God. really thank God for it. signal to chai huat is alright lets cont with the praise. imagine if break the flow wow. what a bad way to start cg.
before service started, imelda was telling me she need to learn from me how to lead praise because she felt that i led very well. very bu gan dang..because i kindda feel that i am not a very good song leader also. so for her to say this really encourage me alot. the next one i will need to tackle is offering in 4 weeks time.
well it won't be possible without glenn, chai huat and val. kudos to them for making praise a success yesterday.
