About sunday again. Really different, 2 songs followed by offering, then sermon then activity then 4 songs -2 slow, 2 lively. Songs became more to the back instead of the usual front. I don't know which is better, seems like front, since it's our normal and every church's [prob?] normal style too, and I'm just used to it.
Psalms of lament. I think it's a good theme for the month. Relevant to our lives, at least. And very meaningful.:)
We were asked to write our own laments to God. A POEM!! :))
Every day of my life's part of a sad storyFilled with endless hurt, anxiety and worryIt feels like I'm stuck, unable to get outOf the chaos and suffering all aboutGrades, school and relationships are all there isI no longer enjoy being in Your midstThe stress falls on me like a heavy blanketMy eyes scan the paper but there's nothing I can getI know not the direction I am headingYour footsteps, oh Lord, are fadingYou seem so far away as each day goes byI tell ou "wait a while", but it's a horrible lieLord I pray for Your comfort and graceTo take me through the troubles I faceI pray for strength to carry me throughMy grief, my sorrow, and all my bluesBe with me, be my guidePlease always be by my sideIt's only in You I can confideLord help me not have a thing to hideI pray You'll never forsake me - Your Word holds that trueThank You so much for Your loveOh Lord, I thank You.Wrote it in 10 minutes before rushing onstage to continue worship. Charmaine was like digging into my ribs. Haha. No, nudging. I feel descriptive, lol. It needs polishing:) But I'll leave it at that for now.
Talking about poems/songs, I wonder how our camp song
encounter's coming along.
1.45 am. I BETTER GO.
