FOP 2008.

Festival of Praise 2008 was a really special event.

Yesterday morning,
Something prompted me to asked Mel to come to FOP with me.
I was doubtful as to whether she would want to go with me or study.
But as I was in the service hall, I suddenly felt the strong conviction to ask her to come along.
And so I did.

When she replied, Where? When?
My face lit up.

She was fearful at first cause she has never been to FOP but she decided to come along with me.
I can't stress enough how delighted I was.

When we went into the Indoor stadium,
God took us away.
All our thoughts and feelings, they were all centered upon him.
I felt really horrible at some point.

I teared.

I felt like all this while, since the start of this year, I've really been very distant from God.
I've been feeling so dry.
Its now even so difficult just to pray.
But at that point, when the Parachute Band were singing in the background, I commited my life back to God.
I commited my time, my studies, my goals in life and everything else.

I forgot how important God was to me.
3 Years ago, in the same place and even, I shouted my hearts out to Him.
Yesterday, I lost my voice for Him.

I'm so glad to have my special someone with me.
To be able to worship God together, it was priceless.

We caught the last train to Boon Lay.
And at Jurong East, we caught the last train to Ang Mo Kio.
We almost gave up, but we hung on to the hope.
God will lead us home.

Lets go again next year, 31st July, 1st and 2nd August!
Hopefully, I won't be in camp.
