Today is the day...

I finally drummed on stage!

FB tells me that one year ago yesterday, was when I first found the practice room.
And here I am one year later, playing for a main service.

It's been hours since service yet I still can't believe it.

It's overwhelming to realise how God has been good in giving me this opportunity.
How He has made me see that I didn't need to be perfect or of a certain excellence in order to drum up there.
How such a small dream, such a small longing, could sprout and grow into reality because of Him.

I was so insecure that every time Hair asked I had said a year or 3 years (on that last time).
And now it feels like I have been lying to Hair and myself all this time.

I still have a long way to go.
What I had believed to be loud was only mid range.
My heart is to grow bigger in order to grow louder.

Wait a minute...

You are waiting and scrutinising for your boss to grin.
The grin that will indicate he is joking.
But he doesn't. He is dead serious.

And inside you have a OMG moment.

You remember how you used to dream about travelling for work and now it's going to be a reality.
But yet at the same time, there's a concert you really really want to attend in that same month. Something you have also longed for.
So you're torn wondering if you should get tickets and not worry about the timing of everything.

Because this feels like a clear moment of God challenging you to trust His plans and timing for you.

A Sunday well spent....

Today was a really happy day.

Doing one another's nails.
(Although my fingers are still not painted as I got distracted doing all the other stuff.)

Cooking spaghetti and grilled bacon and tomatoes for dinner.

Besides doing jelly for dessert, we also end up making no bake cheesecake for another day.

And once i got over my initial balance issues (and embarassing screams), Bip the Xiaomi Segway hoverboard was awesome!

Most importantly, the fellowship time talking about things in life that's dear to our hearts.

Encouragement of the day...

When female drummer wannabe meets another female drummer wannabe, they instantly made friends over the difficulties of learning drums and the sharing of drums in the practice room.

Despite being from different zones, it was a huge encouragement to know that we are in the same phase of 'not really there yet' to play on stage.
