" Father to the Fatherless ; 3:24 PM "
Marhaba!
Well, churched today. One word, breathtaking.
Well everyone, k mainly, Jamie, Rachel and I were superdee bushed.
So we were kind of quiet. Yep, but then the others came, and we got talking about our week.
Ming Xiu did worship. We had a really good talk with each other. like really personal. Yeah, its so easy to open up to them. Rachel's Word on dynamic faith really had us going about all the mistakes and crappy things we did before in our lives.
And we were just talking about change and everything, then Rachel and MX were telling us about their experiences, and Sarah was talking about her being afraid... I was just super touched when Sarah said that God's going to do awesome things with our cell. And amongst all this I felt relief, and warmth and... well, great things.
Yeah, its been a brilliant journey cell. We shared all our burdens, and prayed together, well something every cell usually does, but today was specially... special. Yeah we went up for service, high-fived glenn, got teased by timothy (why is your hair red now!) , and the surprise band was this sibling band from Aussie. The Otto Band I think? Is that how its spelt, I didn't really catch that.
THEY'RE THE BEST. Jonah, Melissa and... their younger sister. Gosh, they have got looks to kill really. And value added, they've got TALENT. they write all their own songs, and its really amazing. Goodbye Old man, Who is it, Its alright, Come baby, While you are sleeping, Be Magnificent, Father to the fatherless, and some other really cool songs.
Jonathan did guitar, Melissa did vocals and acoustic, and their younger sister,
Then Jonathan spoke.
Gosh Gosh Gosh. One of the most inspirational sermons EVARH. Seriously, the guy speaks and the whole church is just like glued to him. His topics were ENTIRELY relevant, and his personal experiences were just something everyone could relate to. (love the accents)
It was about how cruel the world is. Like Destiny's Child's Bootylicious and Nasty Girl, the message : Why are you even here? It hit all of us like WOOOWWW. "So I've been practicing my Singlish la, and its really interesting and unique because you guys just toally make up a bunch of words, and I've had experiences where my friends have betrayed me. Like one time during a mission trip to Africa, they told me, say Nina Himba, and the first person he said to, kind of a high up person, he said NINA HIMBAAAAAAAAAA. GASPGASPGASP."
"What did i say?" you just told me you were pregnant, why did you tell me that? "Because those guys told me to" Oh those bunch of people behind you are your friends? "No not my friends"
It was super funny. His reanactments. VERY GOOOD. Then he also touched on topics that I was wondering about the other day. About my social life, you know, everything. And I know the segment about jealousy totally helped us out alot.
"You know that feeling, when you're all having fun, with people crowding around you, and you feel like you've got it good, and then suddenly you just draw away and sit by yourself, and you just suddenly feel so empty and lonely. Then you cry. And you have no idea why you're crying. But there's this deep deep feeling in your heart and you feel like its crying out for something."
Wow. and it was a really heartfelt, confident sermon. And he just got up and spoke like snap. "Ehh you guys pang seh-ed me!" HAHAH. hilarious. Than he was talking about some bully in school. And the things about Dad.
"And this boy, Daniel in year 6, wrote : Dear Father, I'd call you dad, but you haven't exactly been a dad have you? I'm rebecca's son, if you even remember my mum, you probably don't think about her, or me, but i think about you all the time."
Woah. And the overall message is that God sees you for who you are, and all we have to offer are our hearts of gratitude. And we should give that up for him. And that we're all beautiful and God accepts us for what HE made us.
(I bet you all are feeling, what do you guys say? See-an? Sian!)
Then Prng gave the Benediction, and also prayed for those people going overseas, majority of them to Aussie(Tim was wearing and Aus shirt haha) And then for the closing song, they made up an impromptu song on the spot, about going to australia, be careful, don't speak singlish laaaaa,
Then after service (<3!!!!!!), href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz5sOPj_0_U&feature=related">

They make up songs like that on the spot! That's exactly what Jonathan did just now, and it was funny TTC! :D They can make anything sound nice la! "Look at my hair, look at my teeth, i'm so beautiful i could be a model" And somehow they managed to change it into a worship song at the end. WOOW.
Haha and he rapped on the spot "Yo i'm MJDAWGS i'm the maaan! Riding in the taxiiiii, kay i don't have it now"
