London - 1st free and easy day... Part1

I was so lost... no idea what to do...
I have 3 free and easy days and thou i roughly have an idea what i wanna do... i didn't put much into planning...

But of course before i do anything, it's a Sunday... what is more important than Church? i went to all souls church today... www.allsouls.org

They had their youth pastor preach... i was really ministered... and they had a band to play. All quite young... youth and some are children... when i say band, i mean band... volin, saxaphone... there was this boy, i think 9 or 10 only playing saxaphone... impressive... and their worship leader, is a co-ordinator... he doesn't lead worship... he just co-ordinate the songs the band play then the backup singer and the congregation sing together... it was really refreshing and nice... :) different feel la... :)

He preach abt the Parable of the lost penny & the lost son... Luke 15:8-31... abt how we as man would search high and low for a lost penny. and be overjoyed when we find it... that is the same with God... and he link it to the lost son... how he turn his life around and choose to go back to his father and start afresh... His father was overjoyed to see him... and how the other son, who had always work so hard and so much... but had a unforgiving heart, nv entered the house to celebrate and in the same way, nv entered the kingdom of God... He said that we are all sinners... and we need to turn our lifes around back to God... if we feel we are very good liao... serving and everything... that's where we are wrong... frankly, for me,i know i'm not clean and blameless or do i live a righteous life... but i want to change and i want to start afresh... today sitting in that church, with no expectancy of me to rush to do this and that, to just be able to sit and absorb and learn and be minstered... it really felt really refreshing and with no one around me... i really felt good... maybe this is what i need loh... a fresh start, a brand new start... i'm going to start from today praying abt this... and let God speak to me... :)
