YOUTH SUNDAY ROCKED LAR.
whee. didnt really like the sermon, compared to last year's or this year's easter one, but then i like rev burke(and am prejudiced against rev phoon). no denying, the easter convention guy rocked though. did last year too. i cant wait for the cd to be out!!!
we went too fast for "come into his presence" but aiyah wth right? haha and steph and serene were great and KEXIN TOTALLY ROCKED. she reads so well can. haha.
sarah sings super well. pearlyn too. and dawn & lucas.... *faints*

ehh they are really damn good. remember when lucas sang on the way back from pontian "hearts production" and he sang "music of the night" i was like MELTING (we all were) haha josh was being spastic trying to be funny "i'm in love"..DOTS but yeah he's really that good. and he can act so well?? TALK ABOUT TALENT. *faints again*

then we went out josh (woo not lim) was super lame can telling us all the pick-up lines....i SHALL NOT repeat them. and roo is super nice. sigh. haha

whee. had lots of fun lar. i remembered why i didnt try joining sc cell group/ michelle's cell group when i was like really drifting. because its only at orpc i grew up there i KNOW the people. plus of course now i'm scared of jinglin and i think i'll be too extra. and i dun think i could join mich's cg. maybe i'll just go there, as in go by myself and sit by myself. for once i wouldnt have to worry about who sees me and what i do. (although i will have to be careful not to bump into jinglin or michelle...lol yes they ARE that scary.)
but thinking abt fcbc, i suddenly remembered some stuff.

i've had a few "conversions", or at least, lots of times i "asked Christ into my heart".

1 - read that book from the church library. yeah. shant bore you with details, but it got me crying. i was primary sch then.

2 - 2002. good friday, auntie jen gave her testimonial. i cried, hid it away though...

3 - 2003. followed mich to FCBC. it was some outreach thing, i THINK--easter again if im not wrong. the msg was abt surrender...surrendering your life to God. pastor khong. haha i still remember we were sitting in the second row on the right, and the sc cell group, of which i only knew steph yee and leanne, were sitting in front on the left, waving flags and stuff. i think leanne also had this extra huge one. it felt like a cult, coming in late and wallking through the largest church i had ever seen besides the easter convention. the poster-things on the wall, everyone singin their hearts out, people kneeling, praying, lifting their hands... at the end of the service, when they asked those who wanted to accept christ to come forward, i wanted to go down. but malu, cos michelle beside me, and im the one who's been urging her to come church since forever, and all...but i prayed too, and yeah...i think i cried but managed to hide it from her. haha. didnt know jinglin or joanne then.

4 - 2004, 5 june. festival of praise, hillsongs. i hadnt even heard of them, but cheryl tan(my old idol, yes) invited me so yeah...haha i nearly went down when they asked for accepters too, but again malu...haha. it really changed my life that time. finally i felt like a christian, changed and renewed rather than clinging on to some hypocritical front that kept "accepting" then back sliding, which i had been doing til then.

whee. but for a long time after that i was shaking, looking for another church and all--i even went for cheryl's church camp, and audrey's syfc stuff. then after the camp i realised i had to go back to orpc. yeap. now i seem to be looking again. *kicks self* just go fcbc or wm someday. get over yourself, laura.

i'm getting tired. spouting nonsense.
