Count down 5 4 3 2 1!

Another 2 days to my birthday. But work's been disgustingly busy. In fact was in the office till almost 9 tonight. But I gotta clear as much as I can zip off for the FNL committee meeting tomorrow evening. So by the end of the head, felt a bit blind from staring too hard at the comp and head was swirling. Good thing Alexis was in town and offered to send me home. Thanks :)

Anyway FNL, yipe exciting stuff going to take place at the youth service very soon! But to be totally honest I had much reservations to be in the committee initially after we had some changes to the committee. But last Sunday during the worship, God chided me for my self seeking thoughts. It was like Him looking down at me and asking me if I really loved him, and if so, why do I have reservations serving him and His people. Part of me was thinking that it's not even an event for me and work's so busy that I can't even be there so how can I be effective by serv ing in the FNL comm? But He just spoke in a gentle voice, oh..which made me feel even worse, the guilt! That he still loves me and do I love him?

After the service, talked to Alexis and he was concerned that I'll get my hands too full with too many things to do and end up complaining and serving out of an obligation instead of passion. Which is one thing I do very often, I start doing something with alot of enthusiasm, but later get tired when I don't see results and start my ranting no end. So I prayed about it and somehow what God said at the service kept ringing thru my head. Like how can you even ignore that right? So after 2 days of weighing out the should I or should I not, finally decided that Yes I will and yes yes yes. Not because the guilt treatment worked but because of the whole purpose of it. Yes Purpose. Sometimes even with the best intentions, purpose gets drowned and people becomes directionless, running around in circles being busy but not knowing where they are heading. So I thought about the purpose and yes I do want to see youths coming together to worship, youths having a service to call their own, youths bringing their friends to a service where they can rock the house down and most importantly where they are fed spiritually with the Word. And that's the Purpose of FNL.

So you think you're prepared for some radical worship, some life changing message, some fantabulous fellowship and fun. Don't be the last to know.. only at Friday Nite Live!
