It was one hectic weekend, at least for me. Saturday was a sports filled day. Morning badminton and evening futsal with the Care Boys. Actually I didn't play the futsal game, wanted to but by the time I wanted to put myself in, the game was over.

Spent the whole Saturday night preparing my message for Sunday and I was already at panic stage. I know what I wanted to speak on but I still didn't know how to speak on it as in how to "package" up the message and it was already 12 midnight. I prayed really hard and praise God, after reading through some of the resources I downloaded off the net I had the prompting on what to share on exactly. Wrote out the points but was too sleepy than to do up the power point.

I quickly had my power point done up while Judah conducted the morning prayer and had my notes printed out 5 minutes before worship started. Talked about notes fresh out of the oven. I was already at wits end and feeling so nervous throughout the whole worship.

Anyway, praise God message went alright I think based on some feedback that I got. Thank you all those who came up to me. I'd like to thank my parents for stopping by youth church to support me too. I like to thank my dad especially because he was like my resource centre and most of my notes came out from his previous "R&D".

I would like to apologise for going overtime, I realised that I was quite long winded in the beginning during first service. I was so nervous than that I kept on babbling and babbling and realised that I took more than 15 minutes for the introduction. I could see some faces was like "Wah lau!! That was the intro ah???" and I think I saw someone falling asleep already. But it's really not easy speaking for 2 services. I really don't know how does unc Mike and sunty Chiew Har do it. First service was like all the way man but came second it was like funny... didn't know what to say because it's like weird to repeat yourself and what more half the crowd were at first service.

What ever it is, a big shout out to God for helping me through. It really encourage me to have people come up and say that the message spoke to them personally. It really made the stressfulness and sleepless nights all so worth it. To all those who bothered to come up, thank you so much because it really encouraged me

This Sunday, an even more powerful speaker will be speaking. Want to know who?? Come lar to YC this Sunday. I'll give you a hint, he was the ex-front man of a very popular band. He gave it up to become a servant of God.
