Festival Of Praiseee 2008!

Festival Of Praiseee 2008!

Saturday
Woke up from a very vivid dream! I dream it was my first time taking a sec 1 grp in YM! And i rmb the numbers in the dream.. it was grp T04... room 810a and than i move to room 810b.. no idea what all that meant...BUT.... it sure was very real dream! Cld God be assuring me to take a sec 1 grp in YM one day? hahah! i dunnoo...

Anyway had a nice bible study session with my small grp led by Jon(benley) today at noon time... had a very good discussion on Confession and we did this practical part where we had to pray and ask God to reveal the sins to us... and it made us all realize..WOW he really bore all those sins on the cross for us... and after that we confess and claim upon the promise from 1 John 1:9 that he has forgiven us! It was a great reminder of how God purified us from our sins on the cross and his cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

After that..rush down to indoor stadium to meet glenda and ronda who were queuing halfway... pheww good thing i manage to sneak into the queue in time bcoz later on...no one cld cut in...

Parachute band was pretty good... but didnt know most of their songs, reuben morgan and his hillsong team were my personal favourite actually as they played most of the songs from the new album THIS IS OUR GOD..which has been on replay mode on my ipod recently! Its my favourite hillsong album to date! I like ALL 14 songs there!!!!

Anyways the message by Rev Mark Conner was something very practical and insightful... but the cool thing i felt was... it was somehow a continuation of the message i heard at catalyst yesterday! As yesterday session ended of by how we can make the best of our remaining time on Earth and now...today was a very practical session on how we are responsible for our life!
Our life is something we are within control! And our life is normally shaped by decisions and the way we think. He shared some pretty good insights of how we should first take "responsibility of our mind".. we must not be ruled by our emotions but instead focus on our positive emotions..like good things God has done or to do in our life! And then this is a statement which he said that struck me.. "take responsible for your attitude and emotions and after that this can influence others around you!" So it all starts with us! =)
