It was... different this year... I dunno how to describe it but it was just.... DIFFERENT. Surely, God was moving mightily in the services. But it was just... DIFFERENT... hmmmm No words can describe it...
7th June 2008
I celebrated my 25th birthday. Quarter of a century many say, but this was wad happened that day.
I woke up expecting to attend Munn's Holy Matrimony, get Sash's shirt exchange and done, head back home to slack and wait for my dinner appointment with my beloved one.
Morning call confirmed the dinner to be at 5ish, happily I put down the phone and got ready to leave for the wedding.
30 mins later a call changed everything. Here was my revised schedule...
11am to 2pm - Church Wedding and Lunch reception
2pm to 4pm - Tangs @ Orchard
4pm to 6pm - Kung Fu Panda @ Cine
6pm to 7pm - Simple dinner @ Diner's
7pm to 9 pm - Funeral Parlour
9pm to 10pm - Apple Pie ice cream @ Island creamery
the call that changed everything was that someone's mum went home to be with the Lord and Sash had to lead worship at the funeral.
I was upset that my dinner appointment had to be cancelled. at that moment, all I tot I was going to be left to do was... to the wedding and to town for abit and back and blank blank blank. of coz I was sad and disappointed... hey I am just getting real here. it's my birthday and the only thing that I was looking forward to had to be taken away from me. well... I am glad that feeling just lasted for awhile...
On the way to the church... God reminded me again... this is wad ministry is all about. birthdays are just another day... ministry is about people...
But God, this is not my ministry...! I am not called to do funerals... I am called to the arts in church...
You... hav a much higher calling than just arts in the church... being a pastor's wife is also a calling... and this is your preparation...
*looks up to Big Daddy*
*sings* "Oh what can I say... or what can I do..."
I put my birthday aside and flowed along with watever things that I have for the day left...
I had the greatest birthday ever! =) really! it came out MUCH better than expected. I had great fun with the SF! It was so much more meaningful than just merry celebration =)
I watched a super funny movie, KUNG FU PANDA!!! had a nice and simple dinner with good fellowship. and wad's best?! the APPLE PIE ICE CREAM!! *BIG SMILES ALL OVER*
It's a birthday that I will not forget anytime soon! A precious lesson revised, a question answered and a future to look forward to! That's my birthday!! YAY!! =)
