bored, thus blog.

hello there, friend.
i'm bored now. rarely i get a moment to be bored nowadays, so now i should do sth which a bored person is very capable of.
WRITING A LONG BLOG ENTRY.
finally, i'm gonna take some time to type some half-sensible rant here. whatever "rant" really means. ha ha. it just sounds right. haha. im hearing some really angry music screaming "IM A FAKE IM A FAKE!!!" ha ha. hey dont mistaken, im not halfway emo-kid yet. im just listening for plain entertainment. uh huh -nods.
serving in church isnt as easy as i thought. ha ha. but im growing stronger as the day goes by. i'm much busier now and i even have to drop some committments i have. percussion unit, i'll be on long leave. social outings, i'll be away from that for a long time. staying home, is getting rare. becoming bored, is rarer. and stress level, is every increasing.
i knw alot of ppl has been asking me out or asking me to do stuff and i just seem to decline cuz "hey, cannot church got stuff on." i just need u guys to understand that i've put my committmennt into the house of God and i'm gonna stay there through thick and thin with the church. however, i'll find some time out for you guys okaye ? (: ha ha. yep.
===
hey, see the pic up there ? ha ha, they are zhixiang, noel and me. yes. we all knw tht. the cathigh epidemic. the disease to impurity in cathigh. i'm glad i'm one of the firsts in catholic high to get into heart of God church. i get to see the people in cathigh who came to church after me grow up and grow in Christ.
Kristopher Fukris has been strong in Christ all the way. i still remembered the time i tried to reach out to him. "EEEEEEEYAA! I DON'T WANNA GO CHURCH LAH, I DON'T BELIEVE." but now, he became not only on fire, but also serving in church in Dance Ministry and Reception Ministry. above that, he is even a leader, doing some pretty heavy people work (i have to say, he is doing SO MUCH MORE people work and STRESSED OUT than me HAHA). i'm glad we manage to convince kris to come join us in hoGc. he's grown so much and i see he fire of God in his speech and actions. The love he expresses to his churchfriends is stronger than any love he's shown in school. im positive. i believe he'll soar high and fly to heights no one ever thought he could.
Shawn Lauah lau has a remarkable level of faith in which many of us have to learn from. though he looks a irritating boy going around trying his best to irritate people (sounds like me huh), the Godly factor in him shines brighter than a supernova. fortunately, shawn was the kind who was SUPER ON. when noel and i were reaching out to him, it was easy.
"hey wanna come church this sunday not ? fun one."
"okay!"
yeah, and we did it. the next thing we knw, he accepted Christ and now he is serving in church as well. haha. Cafe Ministry and Dance/3rd Day Ministry. amongst all the cathigh hoGc members. mr.lau's faith level is probably the highest and he is the most child-like one amongst us. if God were to only choose one of us to go to heaven (which WILL NOT HAPPEN haha, all of us will go), it will be shawn, cuz he has the most chils-like faith and character amongst all. i can see ah lau here growing into a mature, yet powerful and fun person who leads like a good shepherd. i see a leader in him, almost ready to be unleashed.
Chen Shan Yonghe is the BIG BOY. he looks SCARY AND FRIGHTENING AS IF HE WAS GOING TO EAT US UP. but you must knw, he's a nice little kid inside, always smiling, laughing and making people feel as if "hey, i won't kill you! i'm really friendly and nice (:" haha. im not exaggerating, shanny is very nice. if u look at him in another perspective, he ain't scarey, he's infact, quite lovely (if tht is the correct adjective to apply). he adds to the churchly atmosphere (though sometimes, he is no where to be found haha), but when he ushers, i knw his heart is still with God and i see it in him as he worships the Lord in the congregation or when ushering. i believe shanny will find time out for more church events and i knw he will grow really fast (like a spring) in time to come. we'll see when God plans to grow him even more. i'd love to see shanyong blosom for God, with that frail cute little smile on his face as always (:
Aaron Kwekaaron has been a great addition to us. he's funny, he's nonsensical, he's righteous, he's cool. he is truly a great atmospheric addition to the church, ESPECIALLY DURING PRAISE songs. he screams and sings and jumps his heart out like nobody's business. i'm sure God is jumping for joy as He sees aaron doing so. i remembered the time when i first saw aaron starting to really praise God with his mouth and body, i felt in my heart so strongly that "hey, aaron is going to be a great man of God, bigger than what people think he is or can be." i had a vision in my mind of aaron USHERING for hoGc and being on stage, bringing down the presence of God for the congregation. though he may not be doing all these in church, but i knw he is and WILL BECOME one faithul servant to God. i see it, i believe it, i pray for it. did i mention tht lyrics of worship songs are always sown deeply into his heart ? each worship session build him up slowly, without anyone noticing. aaron now dances in the Dance Ministry, and is doing really well in dancing there (: he looks funky when he dances haha. maybe he's destined for dance ! haha !
===
now for the ones who came before me haha.
Tay Zhi Xiangzhixiang has been great and he truly has the heart to move and flow with not only Psts, and church, but also with Almighty above. zhixiang at times talks in a funny manner, but hey, everyone is UNIQUE. haha. he is especially caring towards people. and he serves people, very willingly. he knws and udnerstands emotions very well and though i cannot really see his heart clearly, i FOR SURE knw that he thinks for other people, he is sensitive to emotional tensions. i always see him doing things for people and leaders behind everyone's back. let's just say he is the "behind-the-scenes" guy. when people are not really looking, he comes up to help and he doesn't want to trouble people further, but instead, makes the load lighter for everyone. when he sets his mind to help, he does it ALL THE WAY. he seeks no return in favour and he doesnt wish for everyone to knw how much he has assisted. my friend here, has a SERVANT'S HEART, a WILLINGNESS TO SERVE, SENSITIVITY, HUMILITY and FIRE FOR GOD. the way he prays and the way he serves reflects alot on how hungry and powerful the servant in him is. i must thank zx for all the things he put up from me and the way he helped in every way he can. (: thanks, my friend. for integrating me into the church too.
Noeldickson Ongahhe is the disciple. he makes sure people around him get their hearts right and pushes more than any of us cat high guys. noel is alway there to remind us the right and the wrong, the purpose of doing things and he has really crazy ideas that many of us wouldn't think of. he can be really really very corny at times that u wanna slap him. but hey, if u have seen the Godly side of him, u will feel like slapping urself. because he is very serious for God and very capable to do admin and peoplework. YES PEOPLE WORK! my goodness. PEOPLE WORK. HE IS THE PEOPLE WORK KING. EVANGELIST BOY. God used noel to save like SO MANY SOULS, in just a single year. he entertains friends so easily and im very sure he is quite anointed with doing people work. he reaches out at a rapid rate and he sows seeds at an alarming rate. the seeds he had sown mostly blossomed and grew. i mean, hey.
look at kris
look at shawn
look at shanny
look at kwek
look at zx
look at me
(these are just some of them)
all of us are on fire for God and are pushing forward, being pat of building this church. we are the fruit of the small little seed he has sown in our lives and our leaders and God grew us and nourished us. now we walk in Christ with faith. i thank God for noeldickson. i thank God to have sent noel to get me to hoGc and i thank God for his 180degree turn from the life i knew he once had. i used to go out with noel to town and really did meaningless things like wandering around and making fun of our peers behind our backs. he disappeared from the crowd one day when he changed for the better. but he was back. this time, not to JOIN us. but to reach out to us. from a hardcore drinker, 53pointer, retained, wandering towner - to a thirsty-for-God man, JC student, no-more-retaining, man of God. God worked in him so deeply, so powerful. noel now serves in Projection ministry and 3rd Day ministry. he is also a leader now and catching the heart of his leaders, Psts, the church and the heart of God.
thanks noel for reaching out to zx and me. if not for you, cat high wldnt have began blossoming.
thank you Lord, for noel.
thank you Lord, for cat high.
thank you Lord.
amen.
