Only God is God.

Well.
The past weekend has been an amazing one with God.

Well, over the past weekend, ive been busy being involved with Ignyte's Got Talent. (:
It was an amazing event.
Well okay. I sang at it.
But that wasnt what made it awesome.

I sang my rendition of I Could Only Imagine by mercy me.
And im very encouraged by the comments people have made regarding my performance.
Honestly, i dont care if i win or lose, because my main purpose was to serve God, and to minister to the people with this song. And to hear many people feedback to me that they were encouraged by my testimony and they were blessed by that song, its enough for me. I feel like a winner already. And i thank God. (: Haha.

WEll, Just wanna share what my sis's friend told her on msn anyway. (:
I was really encouraged. HAha.

Sis Friend: Ur Sis Rocks
Luv Her
Sis : Dont Continue
She's Beside Me
Sis Friend: -_-
Sis: She asked what else
Sis Friend: I Liked the Dynamics ^^
The other girl didnt have any. And she was straining.
Hmmmm.
The Testimony was realli nice
In not really a church person (As you know)
But damn i almost cried when she sang
The vocal range that the song required wasnt very wide but she sang it
very very nicely
She had the emotion behind it and it sounds very nice
Waaaaaaaah! Ur sis is gud
^^
Ok Finished

Haha. When i read this, i was really encouraged. I was glad that God could use my voice and this song to touch the hearts of people. And iw as content. It was a great encouragement as a girl who isnt that close to God could feel God's presence touch her during that song. Haha. No wonder P.Andy called it an annointed song. It was really an annointed song.

Ive always believed i carried that annointing. And im glad i never let it go, and guarded it with my heart. I guess thats where the feeling and emotions come from. From the annointing that God has placed upon my heart. Because whenever i sing a song that is dedicated to God, for some reason, that song would come alive on its own, and it would hit people like a big wave. Well, all i can say is, i guess thats the manifastation of the annointing God has placed upon me yea? (: Haha,. How awesome.

Anyway.
I guess my performance went well.
And im really really really glad that people could feel that song.
To me, thats enough.
And im really glad to have served in this event.
Because i was given many opportunities (painful and not) to grow.
And i definately have grown.
So yay! (:

Well, God really met me this weekend.
P.Andy's message was rather powerful, i'd say. HAha. Esp his last story about richard and michelle. Man. It sure pulled my heart strings. Haha. (:

But one thing that God really spoke to me about was through the drama and dance special item. God spoke to me everytime i saw the entire production. It was powerful.

WEll to begin with, it was a powerful annointed song. Haha. Really. It was.
Let me show you.
And let God speak to you through this song.

The title of this song is God is God.
It is by Steven Curtis Chapman.

And it really spoke to me. Coupled with the drama's presentation.
It was really timely for me, esp with all that ive been through these few months. (:

The drama started with the song.
And at the beginning, everyone was like nothing.
And then Kenneth walked in as 'God' as gave them all life.
Then he showed them the charcoal and showed them that they were to use it to draw the portion of the picture they were given to draw.
then he sent them off to draw their picture.

The Lord spoke to me that he has given each of us talents. And with our talents we are to use to to serve his Kingdom, to 'paint the part of our picture' he has destined for us to do. And by faith, we need to draw according to the outline he's given, acording to the impressions he's placed upon our hearts to do.

As the thing went on, several people wanted to give up on the drawing as they found it too hard, or they didnt understand what they were drawing. But their fellow people and even God himself went to encourage them to keep drawing their picture.

This spoke to me about how at times i just want to give up on God. And give up on the things he has destined for me to do. Just like in my very life, how i wanted to give up on God, on evangelising, on doing the things that God had placed on my heart to do. And at those times, how God will send people to encourage me not to give up, and even at times, how he himself had encouraged me, and brought me back to drawing that picture he had placed within me to draw.

After that, there was this portion that God would take the picture drawn by Hanyii and replace it with the one by another girl. Although this was actually because Hanyii couldnt draw a symetrical eye with the other girl, i think it was amazing how God made it out to be. Because that very part spoke to me. The moment God took the picture Hanyii painstakingly drew and gave it to someone else to complete, it struuck me real hard.

So many times in my life have i felt like ive put in so much in something, only to have it be taken away from me and given to someone else. And have something else i dont want put into my hand to do. Just like the whole If I Aint Got You Situation. But it was because God had greater plans. He wanted Hanyii to start on the picture, and let it be finished off by another person who could do it more skillfully than she did. And give her something she could do better in return.

This really struck me deep deep. God reminded me that everytime he takes something out of my hands, no matter how precious, it was because he had better things in store, and he knew my capabilities and wanted to make me shine with them instead of striving to do the things i cannot. So decides to switch the roles over. Haha. Just like he did during A bright New World. (: And i blossomed so much more as Nonya Boon. (:

At the end, the people are done with their part of the picture, and are very unsure of what it is. Because it means nothing to them. But then God gathers them, and they follow God, and with his guidance, they put their pieces of art tgt, and form a beautiful picture - The face of Jesus.

It spoke to me greatly, esp with the chorus of the song playing behind it. Combined tgt it hit me real hard. It reminded me that I can only see a part of what God is really doing. And i will not understand what its about. But upon continual trust in God, in time, he will put the pieces together and i will see the big picture and finally understand what his intention was. It was a great reminder that in all things, God is still God. And i am but Man. But Only God is God. And i must trust in him. Because he sees the picture that i do not see.

Its just like what my dad has been speaking to me about. The convergence points in my life. Where all the events that took plce will come together, and i will understand what God is trying to do.

God is truely an amazing God.
And i thank God for all that ive been through.
Cos its opened my eyes to the things he has been doing.
And has strengthened my faith in him like never before.
Thank you Lrd for this great weekend with you.

Only God is God.

God is God and I am Not
I can only see a part
Of the Picture he's painting
God is God and I am Man
So I'll never understand it all
For only God is God
