8:56 AM
Tiring but good experience..For once, I got the experience of shifting the chairs and everything from Expo Hall 8 to Hall 1 because of some events going on and since the premises don't belong to ours, we have to follow whatever the Expo management people said..
Why I say it's good experience is because I get the opportunity to pray with 2 of the brothers in the ushering ministry who serve in the Delta zone as well during the prayer meeting while serving.. I just feel that my prayers isn't that fluent enough yet, will say till halfway and then stop for a while and then continue again.. Perhaps my spiritual level isn't really there yet, and I shall really pray that God will bring my spiritual level to the next level one day, and the day shall come to past.. It's only a matter of time..
Why I say it's tiring because I have to report to Expo Hall 8 as early as 7:30am for serving (usher), and after the service, there was not enough time for me to go and have lunch, because our churchwide prayer meeting starts at 1:30pm, and I was serving as well.. Right after the prayer meeting, I went to help out in the shifting of chairs and everything from 3pm to 4:30pm (actually it was till 7pm for the 1st shift people) because I meeting friends at town area later on, and also my stomach was feeling quite unwell, hence I told my team leader and I went off.
Found out to reach around there too early, I went to the Library@Esplanade to spend my quiet time there with the nice evening/night scenery view at the sofa area, reading the word of God and praying (in a very very soft voice because down there is super quiet).
Met Wei Chuen and Terence after that for dinner at Funan I.T Mall and talk cock sing song for a while before we made our way back home.. Terence shared about the chaotic situation SMRT has screwed up at the Singapore Airshow 2008 and I was like *()#$%^&*( away... Surprisingly, not much people take Service 190 or 960 at night and hence couldn't do much stunt down there at my favourite "stunning" stop at Whitley Rd..
Coming back to the usher thingy, I still feel that I am somehow very stoned and whenever I reach the logistics area for reporting, I feel somehow lost.. Although it's only the 2nd time I serving, I still feel that this is not the way to go on... Before and after cell meeting, I also felt a bit stoned.. Just somehow I feel that the spiritual life for me isn't there, or it's very weak.. Before I go out for lunch and work, I will say this prayer:
"Dear Lord, i lift up my hands to You, as i come before You right now, i pray for supernatural strength, in the areas of spiritual and physical, as i know that my spiritual growth isn't going well. Lord, i pray for healing, pray that i will not get any sickness especially in the area of the job i am currently doing. Even though my job ends this coming week end, Lord, i really pray that nothing bad will happen to me.. Lord, i also want to pray for the anointing, pray for holy spirit, as You enter into my life, Lord, that You will be able to lead my life, provide me with direction, guide me along and i don't want to feel so lost, feel stoned anymore. In Jesus name i pray... Amen.."
