My reflections on the past week..& EMERGE!!

This past week has been a tough 1 for me to go thru, especially with the long hrs spent in sch from 8 am to 5 pm from mon to thu and fri as well till 2.30pm. Really thank God i passed the first aid course which we did from mon to wed, learning skills from CPR to bandaging different body parts. I was really frustrated with the bandaging cos hands-on stuff like that isn't my forte, so i just went home n prayed to God for His wisdom n understanding to guide me on how to go abt it. Though we had a tester who was really sarcastic n tried to make things difficult for us throughout the whole test, i'm glad everyone in my grp managed to clear the course to become trained first aiders..haha..

Of course the highlight of the week is our Emerge conference from thu till sun, and this time i had the privilege to sing in the Emerge choir for 4 out of the 5 sessions :) . I've always wanted to join choir as a kid n i did try auditioning once in my 1st yr in church but failed n i tried out again n joined choir last sept...and to me, what greater privilege than to sing in the CHC choir for God? To me, singing for so many days in a row isn't a chore, with every session i just got more excited, just momentarily distracted by something for a while before the last session on sun nite, but after Sis Cheryl prayed with us when we gathered together before call time, all the confusion i felt just started subsiding n i felt much better. Actually many things had happened over the past week, but being in the presence of God, serving Him in an area that i really love just makes all those things that happened seem so small then.

We spent a lot of the time for the 1st 2 days practicing new songs just outside the CCH rooms, listening to them from a small radio that didn't project sound very well. but still i felt everyone did really well n gave their best. It's really a wonderful blessing, being able to be so near to the anointing of Pst Kong and being able to celebrate Sun's birthday together with the music ministries, n the strike force actually played drums while we were singing her birthday song. Cool!

there are so many other blessings i experienced during emerge last week, but i guess it'll take a really long time if i share them all..but to keep it short n sweet..i am just really thankful to Jesus for making it happen for me. :)
