*Then sings my soul!!*

Today is THE day that I look forward to every week.
Today I was scheduled to lead games in HopeKids.
Faced with fears and doubts wondering "Can I control them?", "Can they play the game I thought of?", "Will the game help them?"...
Well.. Hmm... In the end, I guess I may JUST have chosen the slightly wrong game.
A little too complicated... A little too hard to handle.
But ultimately, I had fun.
Whenever I am on duty at HopeKids, I am sure to bring home with me some thoughts.
Kids are always so innocent...

Today, in P&W, we sang the song One Way using the CD.
As the P&W leader lead, I turn around and saw a few children jumping along with the music smiling.
Some younger ones look around and start jumping too..
It really warms my heart to see it..
Teaching children really does require energy. Not only that it requires one to be watchful of themselves. Children pick up things very easily and most of the time, I try to be as careful as I can be of my own bad habits.
Think the last I want to impart is my bad habits!
Haha!

Anyway, went for the 2nd service...
It's ALWAYS so interesting to be in a service alone!
Me (Up the stairs in Nexus): "Should I turn left? Or should I turn right?"
Myself: Eh.. maybe right.
*Glance around and look out for familiar face*
I: Hmm... no one around. Oh well.. Just grab a sit.
P&W: I wanna dance... Should I? So weird... Left and right are strangers!
Me: Ah well! Dun care la.. It's for the Lord.
*And so I dance.

Sermon Time
Pastor: Turn to your right and tell the person "It's such a blessing for you to be beside me!"
Me *think*: HOW TO DO IT?
Me *action*: Eh... Hi!! I'm Sandra. Yourself? *perspire*
**think think think... Pray pray pray... Pray pastor dun ask me to turn around again**

Haha!!!
Just a conversation with me, myself and I.
Being alone is usually something I dun quite enjoy.
Being alone in a service is even more of something I dun enjoy...
That's when I realised that small groups are so important!
It gives people the feeling of family.
It gives people the feeling of togetherness.
When you feel like saying "Amen!", there is someone beside you who knows you!
When you feel that you need a prayer, there is someone beside you who knows you...

*yada yada yada*...
Reads the bulletin and found out "OH NO! MY Unit is up for Auditorium cleaning!"
*sob*... grabbed lunch ALONE then go cleaning...
But my wonderful CG has already finished cleaning!
*yeah yeah yeah!! Clap clap clap...*

Went for a breakthrough meeting and had a song presentation by 2 gals.
I was asked by Christine who's sitting beside me "Wow!! They have LOTS of air in their stomach to sing huh?"
I was very ministered by the song.
Really.. Imagine.. Just imagine what God can give me IF I were just to give Him a little of my life.
=)

My day ended off with a very beautiful scenery...
I was walking home in deep thoughts reviewing the day and as I was crossing the road, I saw a father on a bicycle with his wife behind hugging him tightly.
In front of him was a little boy whom I presumed was their son..
They painted a picture of a very happy family.
The parents were talking and laughing...
The son in front was singing loudly "Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!"
They were so happy... so carefree in the Lord...

Nice scene indeed...

Wow!!! Little kids singing "One Way"!!! I can't imagine but I guess it must be really cute to see them jumping. Man, I think at their age, I was still listening to kids songs... no wonder so late in my life, then start to get "on fire". Hahaha

Darling: I am sure there are much more chances for you to volunteer! No doubt about that... =) I personally feel that Sg is much more open to it now than before. I seem to be seeing much more volunteers than before too! If you like to travel and is below 30, you can try volunteering yourself for the CampUS in USA as a Camp Counsellor too! Haha! This position is open yearly I THINK! =) If not, next time, if I need to find volunteers, I can find you. *wink*
