you won't know until you try

firstly, i wanna say thanks to ko irvan for teaching me such a wonderful thing last night.

yesterday, i was actually quite busy. but then, i asked ko irvan whether he needs any help with anything (long story.. =P). he told me to lead the praise and worship for today's cell.

lead?! so not me! i have such a huge stage fright!!
I CANNOT DO IT!

he struck back at me saying, "don't tell me you cannot do it until you try".

and i don't know what, but something inside me tells me to do it. being the very ""superstitious"" (that's what people call my character i guess) child i am, i know that God is telling me to try too.

truthfully, something inside of me loves music so much. ever since young, i want to learn how to play the piano. ever since upper secondary, i want to learn how to play guitar, and take up singing lessons. but i don't dare at those times.

i look back now: what if i have done them? will i be in my church praise and worship team now?

my point? i didn't try those things when i had the chance, now it's regret (although i know i'm not supposed to). i believe that God has given me a chance to miss these things because He wants me to testify about this now. if i hadn't missed the chances, i don't think i'll be saying all these now.

anyways, really try anything for the glory of God. you know in Christ that we have a guarantee of the Prize. but what's in between is for you to decide - it's a choice! if you don't really know what is you forte now, i suggest you pray, and dare to take risks in doing things for the glory of our God!

who knows? - the next thing you do can let you glorify Jesus for the rest of your life!

in the grace of God,
andrew

[p.s. i did screw up a few parts in 2 of the 4 songs i lead. at least i learn my lessons. it's not that i cannot lead, but i just need to learn more about leading. =) ]
