\\*Festival Of Praise (FOP)*//

Wee! !! ! ! ! ! !! Haha.. Well, past few nights have been amazing.. FOP was really fun.. Let's see now..

Day 1 (1 Aug 2008)
Opening night on a friday.. Queued for quite long I must say... Probably everyone is excited.. This year, there are 140 participating churches.. That's really alot.. God is indeed gathering the body of Christ together..
Anyway, the first night was really amazing.. First time I heard the "Parachute Band" performing and they are really great.. Of course not to forget Ruben Morgan and the Hillsong band that came as well.. Really love their singing..
The highlight of my day was when we sang "Hosanna".. The girl who sang it OWNED the song! She took my breath away.. She was awesome! Beautiful with a great voice and can play the guitar! Man.. I was mesmerized! but of course, I did not forget to worship the Lord.. Haha..

Rev. Mark Conner soon came out and preached forth a very powerful word.. It was about "The Ingredients of the Early Churches".. Really powerful.. And his preaching is really very Zai! Superb.. Really caught my attention and when he preached finish, it seemed like time passes so fast because all of us were having fun!

We then ended off with some praise and worship again and we headed to eat tao huay! haha.. Karen, Jinglong, Joycelyn, Samuel and me.. and when the clock strikes 12, we sang happy birthday to Jinglong while crossing the road! lol.. Legend! Anyway, that summarises day 1... :D

Day 2 (2 August 2008)
Started my day with cell group meeting at 11am.. Almost could not wake up on time due to lack of sleep on the previous day but thank God I manage to wake up..
Headed to cell group meeting and was really glad to have Joseph back and preaching to us.. Anyway, the message was about "Keeping the Faith".. Really impacted me because on the same day, I asked God, "How can I continue walking with you" and the message was preached forth.. It was so amazing..

Soon, cell group ended and all of us headed down to Kallang.. Oh and 1 scary thing is, I have been eating Subway for almost the whole week.. Kind of afraid of bread now.. Lol..

Anyway, on the way, had some disputes with my bro Lester.. Well, shall not go into details about that but even the best of brothers quarrel.. So I ended up quite emotional on that day and a few of them noticed it.. Came up to me and talk to me about it but I wasn't able to really let go...

We soon queued up and it was uber hot.. Stood there and waited for eternity.. Lol.. and finally when we got in, we rushed for our seats and everyone enjoyed the best invention ever-Air con.. Lol..

Before the whole event started, a pastor came forth and shared a word..
Psalm 133
1 How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in unity!
2 It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron's beard,
down upon the collar of his robes.
3 It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.


When I saw the word "Brothers live together in unity!" I was so convicted.. In the end, I just sms him and said I was sorry..
It does not really matter who was in the wrong.. If you see that the friendship you have is more important than anything else, then why don't you salvage it and make it better?

Anyway, same usual thing happened.. Singing, praising and worshipping God but His presence was stronger than ever...
Rev. Mark Conner preached forth yet another strong word.. "Growing Old or Growing Up".. In some sense, people do grow old but still remain so childish at times.. The message really talks about responsibilty and it really convicted me.. It also talks about how people keep thinking about the negative things in their brain.. It is like watching a bad movie with surround sound and they movie is looping.. lol..

Well, after the whole thing, went to eat with the cell group and a few other friends at Newton Circus! Wooo.. And I was like super broke but they all treated me to eat.. Really not easy to find friends like them.. Feel so blessed although I did not really show it.. :D

Day 3 (3 August 2008)
Today's event was like a concert! lol.. First off Pastor Kong came back! YAY! Haha.. When he came out, everyone kept shouting.. He is a really very great, powerful, charismatic, anoited person.. too many good points.. can't name all.. lol..

Anyway, Rev. Mike Conner preached again! YAY! Sooo cool.. Love his preaching.. So fun.. This time, the word was "Living in Light of Eternity".. Even the title sounds so cool.. Haha... It's about values of the world and eternal values.. Really a great word.. I feel so blessed by the word he shared during the past 3 days.. Really impacted my life...

Well, we ended off we alot of praise and worship.. I jump till my leg super pain.. Sweat like crazy even when i'm in an air-conned room.. But it was fun.. Really fun! And the last part, we sang "ONE WAY" Wooo... lol..


Seeing the whole body of Christ so united.. Everyone praising and worshipping God with their heart, body and soul.. I feel so happy to be in this family.. Though alot of things have happened to me, everytime when I praise and worship God, my feelings would elevate.. God has never let me down... And He has always been there to comfort me.. I really feel so fortunate to have Him in my life..
