Awesome Sunday. Awesome God.

Thank God for today! Despite feeling really tired, I am feeling very joyful too! :D

The first thing I thank God for would be the dance practice in the afternoon! It has been a long while since the dancers gathered to dance together due to other church events preparation. It just feels so good to be back with everyone dancing together! :D However I must say, my stamina has dropped quite a bit! :( Must train up soon!

Another thing that I really want to give thanks for would be my dance duty during worship this morning! It's really a challenge to wake up early in the morning and travel to church on my own (because Laksa would normally drive us to church and he's away this morning for the Army Half Marathon!). But guess what! I had such a good time with the Lord as I travel to church alone, with empty seats available on both the buses/train! :D Spent time praying and worshipping with the worship songs for service! :) Good time of heart preparation before I serve!

I really enjoyed the worship today! With the simple (and repeated) dance steps, I am able to really worship the Lord with much joy and conviction! Once again, I am really touched during the morning service when I saw the elderly worshipping God with their whole heart. It's such a beautiful sight. Oh! And.. our church had a unique visitor in our midst! A monk from Sri Lanka attended our service because he wanted to know more about Christianity. I got a slight shock while dancing! :p but wow! I thought that was another beautiful sight I saw this morning! :)

Lastly, thank God that I am able to spend some time with the little dancers from Sunday School this afternoon while waiting for lunch! They're all practising hard for Children's Day worship, worshipping the Lord with their little tambourines and streamers :) and it's so nice to hear from one of the dancers, Lil Angela (she loves pink!), to know that my birthday is on Children's Day!

Me: Wow! How did you know about that?
Lil Angela: Anne Jie Jie (another senior dancer) told me (and she smiled)
Me: *amazed and touched!*
Wow! Isn't that so heartwarming to hear from a little kid? :) By the way, Lil Angela encourages me a lot because she practices her worship dance steps every weekend! :D

Lastly, something that I learnt today:

To worship God with a simple and pure heart :)
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Deuteronomy 6:5

Thank You God for such an awesome Sunday with You :) Looking forward to a brand new week ahead with Your blessings once more! :D
