How Can I Keep From Singing?
Really, is there anything better to do in this world than singing?
Since I joined my first choir “Agaphe” back then in April 2004, my world has been filled with songs of praises and worship to Him, the Holy One that I so deeply love. So when I had to go to Singapore, that choir was one of the harder things for me to let go. I knew that God will provide me with another ministry here, but the time it took was so long…
Yes, it was six months actually since I last sang with a choir (not including July 2006 when I went home to sang with them on CK and Ivan’s wedding - that doesn’t count). Finally in GPO, I managed to enter the music ministry once again in the Youth Vocal Group. Yesterday, it was the first time I sang with them in the Sunday Service and it felt really good to be able to sing again for the LORD. There were 13 of us yesterday, which were a lot according to the Vocal Group standards (they even once sang with only five, I heard). I just hope all of us will be given loyalty, faith and commitment to remain in this vocal group and keep singing for the LORD.
The funny thing was how God was playing with the timing again. Yesterday we sang on part to commemorate the Family Month in GPO. Two and a half years ago, when I first sang with Agaphe, it was during a Family Month too. I still remember the anxiety inside me that made me feel very nervous when I went up there to the stage the first time. I still remember the song we sang, all of my house serve the LORD. How great is our God that His plan never fails. I think now I can see why He waited six months before sending me here. Since I tend to jump from church to church maybe God feels I kinda need a sign to know that this is the right church. So He made me came in Youth Day to get the “home” feeling of my old youth, He meet me up with some people from my old church a few weeks ago in this church and now He made me sing my first time in this church in the Family Month.
Coincidence? I believe not. God has a great plan for all of us, for you and me. Now I am no longer worried about the remaining six months I have. Somehow I believe that He plans to make me stay here longer. There have been some signs that point that way, but I have to keep praying and discern what it is that He truly wants from me.
