sat's sermon was diff frm yesterday's....
we were given the illustration of an unopened bottle of mineral bottle...
it's like our lives, filled with water, ready to quench the thirst of whoever breaks the seal, open the cap and pour out... but some live lifes, where they do stuff, but don't break the seal upon their lives and therfore never able to bless and to be refilled by God.
There are also others, who manage to break that seal, open the cap, but they don't throw it away, instead, allowing it to cover and uncover the bottle whenever required... living their lives not to the fullest, but to a pretense, that maybe somehow, they might fit in.... whenever....
what kind of Christian are we? the one that tries to please others by how we act, how we dress, or God, who knows our full potential and wants only of our hearts to go all the way for Him? come to think of it... if the expectations of the world were weightless, how light would we feel coz God's expectations are lighter.. and how much further we would be able to go for Him... sometimes, i wish i was full of worry abt things i could do for Him, than be burdened by friendship problems, and so on and so forth...
usually, after going for 3 services, i'll usually tune out by the time it comes to the 3rd... coz its really mind challenging for me... but hey.. yesterday was fabulous... like.. the 3rd was the one which recharged me to the max... and i was awake.. and listening despite ushering.. and thinking abt stuff... n worship... was not challenging, but a time where i had to myself, standing by the doorway with ppl i didn't know and feel like i was at home, no distractions, juz a live band, even at the end of the service, ppl were even more hyped out and jumping and praising him with "Majesty".... our new song... total coolness...
to make things better... i was out wif like Jamie, Sharene, Iris (whom we bumped on the way to Red Silk and practically ambushed her), Jono, Ray, Tj, Darrel.. for dinner... and though i was feeling kinda weird.. but hey... they were definately a hilarious & amazing bunch... and i went home tired, but with a full stomach, a new "dai kor"... and a lot a lot a lot of fun.... all thanks to my "more experienced in life bros and jies, but sooo much younger hearts"!!!! def got to know u peeps a lot better.. and def grown to luv u all and appreciate ur "funniness" a lot more.... cant wait for another time like this!!!!!!! *MUCKS!!!!!!!!!*
