dotty!

gonna post a short one just before i meet mark for lunch later. wooohoooo! carrie underwood! but i have to say, the show just now was quite crappy! i spent half of it raising my eyebrows at the tv.

the past few days have been quite eventful. there's been so much to think about. but it's been good, getting time off at home just reading the Word, praying.. spending extended time on the piano.. reading books and stuff. i really needed the break, and did i enjoy it!

well, on sunday, i went for the 100% rehearsal and hmm.. as i listened to the band play, i was dazzled by the music and couldn't help imagining what it would be like on that night itself. of course, what matters most in worship is not the music, but the heart. but as i watched the band members playing and singing their hearts out for God, i was touched. truly, this is what God desires of us.. our hearts fully submitted to Him. not just what we can do for Him.. but far more importantly, people who enthrone Him above all things and live their lives in obedience to Him. 1 Samuel 15:22. okay, i do admit i wanna be there on the 4th of June but josie.. don't start.

after the rehearsal, i had the most memorable karaoke session as far as i can remember, with the mt sinai people. huge room with a dance floor and disco ball.. sadly enough, it was not well utilised. the kids were amazingly cute. and the adults were at times appalled by our choice of song. heh. but it really was a night to remember.

other than that.. something that's been on my mind is furthering my studies in music. just spending extended time away concentrating on music alone. and not just secular music.. but also church music and music in worship. but one thing that i've been thinking about is how i can use this time away and what's gonna come out of it for His glory.. how i can serve Him better through the study of music. and if i can figure that out, i'm definitely going for it.
