Make My Life A Sacrifice
At around 3 plus in the morning...Ruth comes knocking at my door..It's quite amazing...I'm really getting to be a light sleeper
as I grow older..well...Ruth comes knocking and apparently Phil's car has died and so he needs a car to get back to the bakery
and hence wants to borrow mine..so I drag myself out of my bed in my oversized pjs and socks and hunt for my car keys cos
my room's a mess, I just chucked everything on the floor before I went to bed last night, especially cos Swee decided to sleep
in the lounge and didn't need my floor space....so I find the key..pass it to Ruth and climb back into bed..take some time to get
back to sleep...at the same time thinking to myself how is Swee gonna get to work..but don't bother much..cos I mean..Phil
would probably have sorted things out and all....
Then at around 6 in the morning..Swee comes knocking at my door...sticks her head in..in exactly the same way Ruth did it..and
goes..where's your car!? Took me some time to sit up and get my brain functioning again......then in my half-asleep state I managed
to tell her that Phil took the car..she thought she forgot to lock the car and someone stole it...haiz..or that Sam C took it...she was
like so panicky..that is super abnormal for Swee...then I was like..oh no..Phil took it cos his car died...dunno..ask Ruth...then I was
like..hmmm..how u getting to work..and she was like yar..cos there's not enough time to walk...so once again..I drag myself out of bed
and this time down the stairs to see what was going on...Swee woke Ruth up....and turns out Ruth left her a note..telling her Phil would
be back to pick her up...and I was like..ok....I'm going back to sleep....and got back into bed...and took an even longer time to get back
to dreamland
So happening my household....
As a result..I was super zonked when my alarm went off this morning..I just turned it off and went right back to sleep...and got up at nearly 10! That is super abnormal cos I normally get up around 8 even if I switch my alarm off...thankfully I told Keith not to meet me this morning cos..errr..well......so now..I am still sitting here..and means I prob have to go for part of prac next wed before I head off for CPP..but apparently Keith came knocking on the door at 7:45am..Sylphy opened the door for him..thank goodness he didn't wake Ruth up....
Went for prac in the afternoon..came back..then went for practise..worship lead for prayer meeting...drove down with Ruth early..picked Elaine Lee along the way...was talking to Ruth about the worship team in the car..hmmmm.....dunno what to say about that though. The vocals do need working on..a lot of work....but at the same time..this is ministry..so it's also the heart that matters....so sometimes it does get tricky. Got there..practised..sang...I Love to be in Your Presence, It's a Great Day to Praise the Lord, So You Would Come & I Offer My Life. I hope I am getting better at this..I still freak out quite a bit before...and I know I'm still not very good with the crowd. But oh well..... I guess you really learn from the experience.....
Prayer Meeting..prayed for heaps of things..better communication..Yuka was saying we need to be open with our shepherds...hmmmm....well......I think I am much better with Ruth than I was with Sophie..but still..aiz..sometimes there are still things I can't tell her. Or I just keep it till everything blows up. But really...sometimes when you see how stressed up and tired she is..you just don't want to bother her even more.....
After that we went CCR for dinner..Keith brought home my leftovers since I'm fasting lunch this week.....
Okies..that's all from me for now
Come to the Father
Though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives
He will take them all
The power of the word, the power of His blood
Everything was done, so you would come
