Ten of us from Miri was invited by Baptist church in KK to have some performance there for Good Friday and Easter Day..
My main role was the pianist accompanist for the chamber from Miri and as one of the singer of " Heavenly Music"
We had rehearsal right after we reached KK for that night's prayer meeting.
To be honest, the rehearsal was really kinda pressure to all of us. The way the person-in-charge conducted it and the way he spoke..
I'm TOTALLY not used to it.. and I think is quite a bit "too much"
At that very moment, I felt like going back home. I'm home sick.. I miss my mum..
"Did I made the right decision to come? I feel like everything and every decision I made was wrong this year.."
Had our dinner only at 10pm that night. Tiring and hungry. I slept for only three hours that night..
The practice for the following day was even worse.
It's for the " Music from heaven " Evangelistic concert ( Good Friday )
We had long hours practice and the person-in-charge started shouting here and there..
I was badly scolded for answering a phone call from my mum.
I cannot hold back my tears anymore and just let it flew down badly..
Then he scolded everyone.
I'm asking,"Why I'm I here for? I never been scolded so badly..
I forgot that I'm here to share God's love and to bring glory to the Lord..:(
Thank God the concert that night was great and the respond was good..
Praise the Lord..
p/s:Thanks Aaron for cheering me up by calling Esther and let me talked to her =)
Finally..On Saturday..
We had FUN!
I believe I can fly..haha..If you think you can, you can.. haha
Be positive.Be strong. Be firm
Cute and naughty Teacher James..haha..
this is amazing..
I was so excited to see the world under the sea..
did'nt even realized that I was carried away by the wave..
I was really panic when I saw my friends far away from me.
Tried to stand up but can't even touch the seabed.
I can't swim.
Waved to my friends but none noticed me..
It was terifying.
I drank a lot of sea water.
All I can do that time was to pray and pray.
Then I started to move my limbs slowly and keep on praying..
Finally I managed to get back to the group again.
Really thank God I'm still sitting here, seriously!!
Learnt the lesson after that and I followed a friend who knows how to swim to a deeper place.
It's even nicer!
I saw God's love under the sea!! Amazing!God is awesome!!
...
According to the schedule,
there was actually a trip to KK Mount Kinabalu after the Easter day service's performance..
But donno why some of them prefer shopping instead of going to Mount Kinabalu.
So we went to One Borneo instead
haha.. free advertisement for MC Donald ice-cream
I love this
On Monday..
We visited an ex-team member who is now suffering from cancer.
Sang and played music for her.
That was a meaningful thing to do..
...
Well,I'm glad to know an uncle from KL this trip, Uncle Steve..
Oops, brother Steve..haha.. He prefer us calling him brother..
He has his own studio in KL..
This is the album he gave us.
All the songs in this album (except one song) were written by him.
There are a few very nice songs in this album which I love so much.
especially " A hymn of gratitude"
Your mercies flow down from Your holy throne
Precious favour, none that I deserve
Amazing grace that saved my wretched soul
Now all that I have is in Your hand
Now I can walk life, see Your beauty here
I've tasted freedom, power of Your word
You have turned my tears into pure joy
Lord in Your arms is where I belong
How could I ever live without You
Nothing I desire Lord but Your delight
Lord have my heart, Thy will be done
Lord make my life an instrument of Your delight
I dedicate my life to honour You
raise my hands surrendered to Your purpose Lord
'Cos you're my dream, My one desire
Come be the center of my life, I pray my Lord
He shared with me how this song came about later.
Really touching.
When I came back to Miri,
I sent my words of thanks to the person-in-charge
Though we were scolded, but I think they are still many lessons learnt through him
I realized what he said was quite true.
"Don't think that you all very geng a,
when you go out, you're nothing."
I leart that we should be 100% serious during practices..
"If you are interested in any musical instruments, be serious, don't fill only half of the pail.."haha..
Actually I don't expect any reply from him..
But he did. He asked me to forgive him for scolding me..
I felt warm..
All the scolding not a big deal anymore=)
Well, my trip to KK was a really meaningful one..
I give all my praises to Lord=)
