I'm letting go.

What I cannot do, God can.

Before I start my really long (I'm bursting to share) testimony, I just want to shout DANCERS YOU GUYS ARE SO AMAZING!

Before the Performance

Shauna warned us that when we serve God, spiritual warfare will come. satan knows our weaknesses and he will prevent us from doing God's works. She told us to be aware. I reflected on my weaknesses. I know what the evil one will do. I prayed fervently to God; asking Him to remove everything that will distract me, anything that will make me lose focus on worshipping Him.

God answered.

My desire for this "performance" was to make no mistake. That is not because I want to look beautiful in front of man, but because for the past few performances, I made mistakes. I told God that I really want to dance a perfect dance for Him. All those practices week after week, seem to go down to waste when I fumbled during the actual performance. I wish I wouldn't feel the tinge of regret after the item. In addition, I don't want to be a form of distraction to the congregation, to my fellow dancers and to myself! After one fumble, I will be so torn inside! It totally ruined my experience with God. For the first time, I feel that God is speaking to me (hearing God is one of the toughest things for me, 'cause I wonder if they are just my own thoughts); WHAT I CANNOT DO, GOD CAN.

We (Meiyi, Shauna and I) prayed for the dancers to feel joy when they dance.

During the Performance

Guess what? The kids, for the first time, were smiling so radiantly! I wanted to cry when I saw them. The tambourines rang brightly, so synchronised that there weren't any stray "noise".

God answered.

I was totally unaware of the audience. I really felt that God was the only one watching.

After the Performance

I didn't make any mistakes. I know that in the eyes of man, I may not be a good dancer. I totally don't look good dancing. But God IS pleased. I felt such immense joy in my heart. I haven't felt such joy for a long time.

Everytime we come forth to serve Him, we really should abandon all our burdens and worries and give ourselves wholly to Him. I did not recap the steps before the dance and trusted completely in Him. He never fails me. God never disappoints. I truly learn the meaning of letting go, the meaning of trusting God wholeheartedly and I experienced God like I've never did before.

Better late than never. Spending more time worshipping God than tuning the steps was the right move.

I just want to take this time to thank Shauna; for teaching me a lot during our preparation for this and Candice; for having breakfast, carrying my dress, doing my makeup for me. (:

All glory and honor be to God!

P.S. My sister, Priscilla said that the song (For the Sake of the Call) is nice. My brother's first time experiencing Church service. He enjoyed "performances" put up today. I'm really really happy! (:

You know, they don't really smile much during practices.
