Respond to His call.
Friday, April 4, 2008
i can't send a reply to my bestfriend right now because i ran out of load. boy, did i even reached the total amount of the load? was that already 200 messages?! coolio. right now, i'm just surfing teentalk, shabby princess and blogging. when my mum arrives i'll be off to church.
God gave me a vision. I don't know. I just knew it was from Him. I knew it. It was last night when me & my bestfriend Rap were texting and the words came out from nowhere. You see, Rap plays the guitar, and I know he's good at it. Well, he's not really really that good. But I know, that God's gonna use him... might be not now, but maybe tomorrow.
I was like this last night:
"Lord, I know You will be using Rap. I have this burden to see these young people in Your ministry. I know this vision that You're giving to me... is somewhat a message that I should share to Rap."
And then all came back to me. I don't know why, but I really have this burden. I wanna see youths serving God, I wanna share them my experiences--especially to my bestfriend, Rap, who's just started going to church. I can see that God would really use this kid, and then I texted Rap about this.
"Rap, what is the biggest desire in your heart?"
He said that:
"Gusto kong mag guitar sa church"
I knew that by that moment, God was already speaking to Rap's heart, it somewhat told me that it was really a confirmation that God was giving me this vision that He'll use Rap in His ministry, as a guitarist in the praise & worship team.
I was so happy last night when I saw Rap's reply. I told Him that if he would want to be a guitarist in the church, he should come and join the fellowship daily, (fridays) so that He'll grow more and more in Christ. I know Rap has the potential, and I know one day he'll be a praise and worship leader.
I asked him one time.
"Rap, what if one day you'll be called by God in praise & worship leading?"
He replied that, "Sana." I didn't know what that meant, but I know one day... sooner or later... He'll be a part of the worship team. I knew that he really wants to be a part of the team, and he even told me na... "I'll join if marami na akong natutunan... not now." I know, God's still preparing Rap. He has a nice voice, and he's also one of the choir members of the church. And I even thought that, "Maybe one day, God will really use him in praise leading!"
My heart really yearns na magshare sa mga taong interesado sa pagjoin sa worship team. It's my passion, I just want them to feel what I felt way before I was in this team. I can see myself kasi in Rap. Noong di pa siya dumating sa church, I was the youngest. And then I really wanted to play the guitar, but right now God switched my passion--I desired to be a drummer too.
Before I became a praise leader, I was a tambourine dancer. I was 11 years old then. And right now, I'm almost 15. 4 years na ako sa praise and worship team. the first two years were my training years. Marami rami na ang nireveal sa akin ni Lord. And He gave me this calling. And then... eto. He's using me. But take note, 3 years ako sa pag back-up... and then I told God na, "Lord, wag ako sa pag praise lead." And then, ayun! He pulled me out of my comfort zone...
So, yan muna...
I'll be going to church na! :)
