Trying out my uncle's laptop

Nice laptop Uncle Yiye has. Though it's hard to type because the keyboard needs getting used to, it won't stop me from telling you guys how great our God is to me today.

Last Friday, Uncles Steven and Kelvin, and I went for cell group. I brought my guitar along, only not to have a chance to play it during the worship session, because they had already prepared the hymns, none of which I could play due to the lack of chord annotations, much to my dismay.

"Oh, God, surely you wouldn't make me bring my guitar for nothing...?" I thought. Thank God, I brought my school's hymnbook to the cell, and when I showed Uncle Daniel the book, we decided to sing some from them. Soon Uncles Steven and Kelvin joined along even though it was really late, around 10 plus in the night, and it just so happened that the following day I was to sit for the Chinese Mid-Year Oral Examinations.

It was really good. We managed to sing a few songs, and I reckon God gave us the time to worship him with the guitar, because the rest of our brethren that were around also heard it, and were complimenting my playing and the beauty of the hymns. We sang Did You Talk to God Above, By the Power of Your Love, and Shepherd of My Soul. Hallelujah, those songs were indeed beautiful.

Today's church service was a joke. So much for giving testimonies in church, and we were discussing so much about what testimony to share up on the stage when we were in the car, and we ended up not being able to share anything as of yet.

Brother Chris and Sister Osheana came as well for the second time, which was a good tell-tale sign that they weren't very happy with how City Harvest Church, the church we initially came from, conducted their Sunday services. To add on to the joy of another two people in the big family of My Saviour's Church, the sermon on God's love from Psalm 103 was very thought-provoking. It was indeed an enjoyable service, and the more I spend time in it in home cell meetings and church services, the more I enjoy myself and it was always in church activities and from praising the Lord, in both my private time and in cell group worships that my soul does find rest in Him.
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

-Psalm 27:4
