ah, i've decided that blogdrive is really not so good.

i'm moving

earlier i shared abt how i was so awed singing with kids
how they lead me in worship

and yesterday we had our CEFC inaugural (or so i think) string trio
and with the help of clarissa we charted stuff for the trio to play
hearing them play what was written made me feel so excited.
like a conductor untrained!

and its like wow la.

Recently (mis)handled a few babies
Mistake at work - resulting in ?!?!!
Mistake at home - resulting in baby puke
I'm aunt for the 3rd time and although I thought I Picked up baby tricks at neonatal ward I can't prevent baby puke still

Mayb I'm a magnet for child trauma! See my first nephew always pukes on me! I thought it's his reflux But today the 2nd one also puked!!! I reflected on how I carried the baby Wrong meh?!? I learnt the left right action frm nurses!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! My conclusion is this- never let puke destroy your joy Just carry and be JOYful

Similarly I'm like some aunty in church On sunday there was a worship min empowering session and I was so busy charting some strings parts -sigh. Anyhow my IEMs were plugged in so I could only lipread Shannon saying 'aunty sophie' From 3 tables away I shouted 'OEI!' Startled the boys and they started pointing fingers at each other stating why those offensive words were mouthed
Kids
Bad liars
Anyhow to compensate, the offender was very obedient thereafter Halfway during the session, pastor told us that we need to have fun. It's mandatory in serving ! I totally buy that philosophy- joy needs to be experienced whilst serving. So being very aunty-motherly-sisterly-elderly-pastorly I asked the luckiest boy seated beside me 'so r u having fun?' He was pretty dead serious when he said 'when we call u aunty! Yes!'
It's this dance we partner with other kids Kinda like a mishmash of i dunno, the charleston and some bull chase. Kinda violent but fun
I remember reminding the band never to let your job be robbed.
Sadly, i know one of us feels robbed of the joy.
I hate to make the joy sound obsecure, but i really believe it relies on a personal revelation and experience that I cant teach. I can only show, hopefully I do! and pray....

on top of this, sunbeam has been really fun. I know i was kinda halfhearted joining sunbeam, in fact i was more into TNG. but had some hiccups over there.. now i see that i really dont need to be involved in TNG to influence TNG. in fact in sunbeam, i catch those unmentored and ungrouped TNG boys and girls. And being in adult worship team, i also get to work with the leaders in TNG. Just have to make sure I'm influencing positively? WAHHAAHAHAH -stop reading my blog u kids!
pretty awesome what God is doing in my community of believers.
I mean the music we make at sunbeam really quite terok but when you hear the kids shout praises to HIM and how they READILY RESPOND to God and how they LIFT their hands in awe of God. Especially when they sing 'I HAVE A MAKER'
i have 2 favourite kids in sunbeam, i admit. one is this very very serious boy, always sitting in one corner reading the bible. and he lifts his hands and looks to the skies and speaks and shouts to God! and another this girl who is always intensely worshipping God, obviously moved by words she is singing to Him.
I love it leading these kids. being with them
in fact i cant really say i lead them...many times i worship, i'm led by their passion
their expressions of worship
so free
so lovely.
so much joy.
:)
so i was inspired to record, sean on sauna drums, jabez on martin guitar (kids have SO MUCH MONEY THESE DAYS)

anyways, last, i want to be a baby. whee, craving PURE MILK.
digest and no puking allowed.
