Life goes on

I'm still trying to get used to writing or saying "2008" instead of "2007" because it's so easy to cling on to the past. But, as they say, "Time and tide waits for no man." Life goes on...

I had worship practice for church service today. It was the first practice we've had on a Tuesday since we got the approval to use the church. God indeed answers prayers! We've had a couple of services in the church and already we are having to deal with so many kinks with the system. Safe to say, it'll still be awhile before we actually utilize the efficiency of the church's new system. But anyways, I'm just happy that our wait is finally over. Praise Jesus!

Worship practice went really well today. I admire the way Chester always knows what he wants in a song. I've had my share of under prepared worship leaders in my experience and it has always irked me. What frustrates me even more is when they say that they are leading by "faith". Sorry to say, but I feel that that is a really poor excuse. Personally, I feel that every worship leader should be as prepared as possible, to plan for every single detail and then leave the rest to God. When you plan for every single scenario and know that God will take care of anything that might still go wrong, THAT'S leading by faith.

After practice, we managed to have a short jamming session before packing up. I finally managed to introduce my "punk version" of the song - One Way. Eventhough the word "punk" has kind of a negative connotation to it, it's not as bad as you may think. Chel thought it was ok. I've had the idea for the song for almost a year now but was never able to properly introduce it. I even remember teaching it to Terence once but we didn't have a drummer and a singer so it was scrapped. But who knows, maybe we'll be able to use it sometime. It could be a hit for when Youth Harvest comes. Heh Heh... Hopefully, you guys will get a chance to hear it.
