A shift; change; move

As 2010 draws nearer, wait! My exams are in less than 2 weeks =S

Okay never mind that. Since 2010 is coming, it's time I consider certain issues.

Well for those of you who do follow me here, these are some matters I've been thinking about:

-Youth Cell:
I've been in a youth cell ever since I accepted Christ. It was a place where I got to grow in God's word, getting to know my peers and juniors, from being a member to a laborer. I want to believe that when the time comes that God leads me elsewhere, it shall be the time for me to exit. I'm still seeking God on this as the sec 4 youths in the cell graduate next year.

Sometimes I evaluate myself based on the spiritual and numerical growth of the members and I think I failed. Totally. I began with 6 of them 4 years ago:

1 moved to another church.
1 stopped coming to church.
2 has transferred to another cell.
1 has been considering a change of environment.
The last one isn't exactly sure of the faith.

If I were in a corporate world, I would be the first to be fired.
0% success rate. I wonder what God would think.

-Youth worship:
This was my first ministry as a young Christian. It was being part of the worship ministry and the journey I went through in it that I believe God has molded me and taught me much. Thus, I thank God for this privilege and chance to be able to serve Him in this ministry and it has been my most successful ministry so far.

I look back at the current team of 10 that I'm leading.
I have no credit or merit in the process of growing the team, it all belongs to God!

-Fantastic-fabulous-fun loving drummer Zeph who has improved like 10000%;
-Bass(best)-man Nic who never fails to be a pillar of support to me and the team;
-'Armour-bearer'/Pianist Matthew who has been a great buddy to me and improved a lot in his area of expertise and support to the music;
-The Girl-duet guitarists: Grace and Eudora who have been patient with my nagging and shown improvements in their guitar-ing skills through their passion. The first 2 female guitarists serving in the worship ministry till today =)
-Quiet but can be wacky Darren for the fun you've brought to us and even though you're leaving real soon, you'll always be remembered!
-Hilary and James, my faithful visualizers! What can I do without the 2 of you. You 2 have been a blessing to the team, even as you serve in the background. Big THANKS to you guys!
-Esther, our sound "girl". Though you've not joined us for many sessions but thanks for your heart and willingness to serve the Lord despite your young age. I pray and believe that He will use you greatly in time to come =)
-Rachel, my budding-worship leader and sms-spammer for the team! I have seen you grow through 2009 and you have come a long way! I hope to see you take the reins in leading a team in time to come real soon okay =)

And so far, these are the 2 ministries that I've been in for the longest time.
The sweetest and the most bitter times I have had.
If only You call, I will go.

Here I am, send me. Take me and use me. According to Your great plans.
