| | SATURDAY - NEXT STEP IN LIFE
I've been informed yesterday that FPC (Fullerton Presbyterian Church) has accepted me as an Intern Pastor. I don't know what I did in life to receive such an opportunity but I'm thankful for it nonetheless. In the Korean Culture, most ministry workers start out as a JDSN and then move up or move on but I always wanted to start as an Intern. I have faults, I make mistakes and I know it. I want to be firmly grounded in the fundamentals of being a ministry worker. I know that there are a lot of temptations for me to overcome, some old and some new but I'll do my best to reflect the Great God that saved me.
I've been working on my Exodus project all day and I'm not nearly where I wanted to be when I started. This probably has a lot to do with playing around with the laptop all day with Chung and Mini Shimmy. Here's how productive today was...
                               
                       
That last one was my first attempt at photoshop. Yes, I Solo have never used photoshop before. So today's experiment with the integrated webcam taught me one very simple lesson that I've always known. I am not photogenic.
Well, back to my Exodus project. I still have a lot to do. Thank God for my praise leaders, what would I do without them.
God Bless and Gud9ite.
::EDIT::
I just wanted to add that this past Friday's Praise and Prayer Night was FFFFFUUUUNNNN! I haven't led praise like that in so long! On the real, worship for that Praise and Prayer Night started on Wednesday Night when the staff worship team got together and practiced. That time of practice was one of the most engaging times of worship for me in a long time. I'm not downplaying any other time of worship but from the get-go it was just right on the money. And Friday's Praise and Prayer Night just felt like the continuous worship that was left off on Wednesday night. I mean, my voice was dying from worshipping 2 and a half hours straight but man, was it fun... I just got finished writing my Theology of Worship and I was just very engaged.
This is what I need to learn to do though. I need to learn to put that down so that I can teach it. I mean, my plan right now is to just lead worship for one more year and reproduce myself within' the ministry so that when I stop, there would be a plethora of worship leaders in FPC. Not just individuals who can lead worship but individuals who can lead worship leaders. I'm not even able to do that yet. What I'm doing now is just scratching the surface on what should be happenning. But yeah, I had to put this down on xanga so that I could come back to this and remember it. One thing that I believe made a huge difference was the amount of prayer that went into this night. We have another one in two weeks. Man, I'm going to be praying so hard. I know that this whole thing sounds selfish but I believe that worship leaders lead the best when they're worshipping themselves and that's exactly what it was that night. I want God to look down at FPC and have the biggest smile seeing His ungrateful children attempting to lift up just shouts of adoration.
I want to know how to fully engage in worship where it becomes an overflow into evangelism all while enjoying every minute of it. My prayer is that my theology of Worship will ready me everyday to be fully utilized by my God in the time of corporate worship. From the inside out, my prayer is that my reverence and joy of being a Christian Hedonist will not only stir a heart of celebration in me but give the Supreme God the Glory that is rightfully His. Through the Biblical, Theological depht of Worship, my prayer is that my application of it in the Church will truly make most of Him. I'm far from having that kind of reverence and joy. It's time to pray... Pray... PRay... PRAy... PRAY!!!
Again, God Bless and Gud9ite.
