Breakthrough!

What a tiring but AWESOME day today. Got to face one of my greatest fears in ministry: escorting PT.

Well I don't know since when I had developed such a strange fear of him. Its really fine to hear him preach and in fact, I really love his sermons; but up close and personal - erm, someone else can?

Well today HAD to be the day. I was supposed to be doing something else but God had set me up! Someone else had covered my original duty and thus, I was assigned to PT.

I was really hoping it to be a regular service weekend but it certainly turned out not to be so. To say the least; he had a REALLY REALLY busy day today; bad news for me cos that meant more work and more interaction with him. When I thought everything was over after service, PT turned and ask: "Can you be my runner for the rest of the day?"

I can't figure whether I felt fear or honour - but a thousand thoughts certainly transited through my mind. For 9 solid hours; I was going to stick to him like glue. There was alot of travelling, alot of squeezing around the massive crowd, and alot of other runner-related jobs. In exchange for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to sit at the front row seat beside pastor for a movie, I found myself running lights, sound, stage, security and PA for the screening. He was the key man for the event today; so that meant my margin for error was thinner than my very own skin (ok actually my skin is a bad analogy).

Well anyway, it was extremely nerve-wrecking as we all know how much the sightest detail could make a huge difference, especially by his standards. But thank God, the day ended w/o any hiccups; I did all that I had to do w/o any major mistakes, and more importantly, I OVERCAME MY MENTAL BARRIER! YAY!

Well God certainly works in ways you least expect. And He will refine when you are least prepared. But thats how GROWTH arises! What a wonderful learning experience it has been today; supposedly my last duty weekend before I go on exam leave. God is indeed ALWAYS ON TIME; He's so amazing, and I can only marvel.
