Well, Year 2006 surely starts off very fast for me.. I'm not sure how to put it.. Today I receive a revelation... OR rather.. I experienced my revelation today.....
For a long time, I haven't been helping out much in my cell group. Well, in a way it's lethargy... but also.. I really don't know where and how to start helping out... At the beginning of the year, one of my goals for this year to be help out more in the cell group. Well, I very much would want to be a cell group leader next year... I'm not sure if it's really possible for each leader are tested and moulded to be one.. thru a process of time. But it's my goal to be a Cell group leader. I thank God for a chance this week to start with... by organising my cell group steamboat gathering. That really spurred me on.. It's a chance to serve again, and I'm grabbing it. There are 4 overall in- charge to this gathering... which includes me. Well, I sense that within the 4 of us, my other 3 partners doesn't have the time to chair the meetings and facilitate the compiling of information gathered.. So I stepped up to make sure it's done. All this that I have done brought me out of my lethargy and suddenly gave me a clearer mind... ( Really it's as if I haven't use my mind for a long time... =P)
Today, it's a service day... My church holds our weekly service on Wednesday this week due to the weekend being the eve of Chinese New Year and Chinese New Year Day.... Because majority of my cell group members are students, again I step up and went ahead to queue up to book seats. The main door opens at 7pm and everyone rushed in as usually... and as usual.. I can't find a good row for my cg to sit... For a moment.. I feel very despair.. =P But I kept praying and kept on looking for a good row.. I went to the choir side( where my cell group usually sits) and found a row.. Still it was sort of 'book' by another cell group, but I went over and talked with them, Thank God, they are willing to give up that row for they have booked 3 rows already~! =P (Still in the end they gave up quite a bit of seats as well from their other rows.) So alone I was.... I guarded those seats while awaiting for my members to come.. Thank God, all of us got a seat when service starts.
During Worship, I... suddenly turned back and saw my friend's member talking to the usher.. Yes, her cell group were seating at the row behind me and she wanted to seat with them because she was told that they reserved a seat for her... I saw that the Usher was about to bring her away.. so I stepped in, offering that she sqeeze with my cell group. She agreed, the usher agreed, and so she was able to seat near her cell group. We continued to worship and when worship was over, we shared seats together.. Another usher saw what happened, came over to me and ask me if I want to seat in front... 2 rows from the stage, right in front of the stage.... =P Well of course, I wanted that. =P and I went over to take up my seat. That seat.... =P Well... physically it's the same seat as those at the back... but it feel different.. spiritually I feel.. more engaged to the service... It feels really like as if I entered the Holiest of Holies and I'm waiting upon God's word and revelation to come. I could sense the hearts of men and women in that arena... being so soft and so ready to accept the word.. Their ears capture all that was said by pastor, and their eyes all so focused at the Man of God. Wow... That seat is a privilege seat. That seat give me a glimpse of the Holiest of Holies and a taste of the glory upon those seated there. Hm... to think about it... During offering, I din't see that usher around again... really wonder where was he seating thru-out the service.. He wore a suit.. so he should be holding seats in front to facilitate the offering collection. But I din't notice him anyway... if I did, maybe I would thank him for something... but I din't see him. Which make me wonder where could he be seating... Or maybe he's an angel... =P just there to reserve the seat for me.. and he left after his mission is done.. =P Well even if he's not an angel, it must be God's plan for me to seat there and experience Him in the holiest of holies myself.. hm... quite possible... But that seat spurred me on further to be a leader for christ.. to shepherd His sheeps and teach them to hear His voice.. Indeed God is good. Seating on the 2nd row is truly a privilege. I will make it there permanently.. =P question is how long will I take.. =P Well God.... into Your hands I commit to You again. Help me and guide me along to reach me destiny by Your appointed moment.. Lord, I trust You.
Reminds me of the old saying.... 'every angel has other angels around him'. God is good.
