Service n Gen acts dota event

Today's service was juz totally powerful. From the praise, to the worship, follow by the teaching, it was awe-inspiring. It was as though God himself was hosting that service! During the altar call, Pastor Jasmine made an invitation for ppl to respond to become shepherds n cls. Though i was one before in JC, i felt there was a need to recommit this area in this new phase of life that i was going thru in ns. Therefore i responded to it n as i prayed i really felt god's warmth overcame me. It felt so empowering. THANK GOD!!!

After service, as we were on our way to paradize center for our dota event, i went off with jie hui to get a drink. It was during then he asked me this question, "What is one thing u really gain from ns?" I answered, "its the realization this world is not that simple." Cheam rite this answer haha. i know was amazed at myself too haha. It was not because it sounded so wise but such a simple sentence had a really deep meaning to it.
Coming from the JC ministry, i was under alot of protection from the church from my parents etc. i didn't know whats really happening in the world. Until coming to ns, did i witness first hand the raw truth about the world, how malicious, ugly, treacherous it can be. At the same time, god showed me instances whereby this world was also beautiful despite its deterioration. i believe this insight from God really allow me to mature in my service to him n it has burdened me even more to really carry the msg of the cross to the ppl ard me in this short life that i have on the earth. Really praise God!

As for the dota event, we had quite a few visitor. One of them was my friend from camp. He totally own us up down left right n i mean literally. I mean he took out 4 heroes all by himself n btw he was surrounded. My gosh it was total ownage. Haha well guess i shoudn't be suprised. After all he n his team got 2nd in a WCG qualifier game. That's gotta mean something rite haha. But overall i felt it was an 'objective met but could be better' event. We managed to get many of our friends to come but juz could not interact with them more. Well have to do better next time

So much things to say.....

this is my first post on this post yet i do not know how to write. there's juz too many things to say. haha so here goes....

First let me share a video of the song "Healer".




It really touch my heart n made me want to cry hearing this song. I remember the first time i heard this song was at the hillsong youth concert at expo.
This song was composed by mike guglielmucci. After hearing from the doctors that he had been diagnosed with cancer, he went home turn on the mics n recorders n started playing on the piano, worshiping god with everything he believed and the rest is history.

I pray that this song will impact the lives who hears this like how it has impacted mine.
