My Journey So Far...

GENESIS

It's been simply amazing! About 5 years ago, I received the 1st worship song during my personal time of worship. Despite giving the Lord loads of "I'm not qualified", "I'm too shy" etc excuses, I was still convicted to share it with my church choir. That step of faith & obedience marked the break out of many other songs that God poured forth through my personal devotion with Him. Writing each song was like "taking down the minutes". As such, claiming the songs as "mine" would be the greatest infringement on copyright ever.

GROWTH

I brought a few of the songs to my music teacher for her professional criticism & evaluation. To my surprise, she encouraged me to get them recorded in an album. After seeking the Lord about it, I realised that my job as a secretary is not complete until the minutes are sent out. But the time had not yet come...

GIDEON’S ARMY

Kick-starting the recording project at the beginning of this year, I thought that I should rally lots of help in every possible area (which could easily be done). However, the Lord convicted me that I should do it with a Gideon’s army. That’s when I realised that I should not only do His will, in His time, but also with His strength & in His way. From then on, I took a cool & passive approach to the 101 things that had to be done (on the surface) to get the project going. Setting the spiritual rhythm & tempo right through prayer & fasting should be first & foremost. Perhaps some might have thought that I had abandoned the project during that period. :)

GOING IN FAITH

Being a task-oriented person, it was very hard to remain cool & passive on the surface when I knew lots had to be done. Yet I was resolved not to push anything through by my own folly & weakness (although I almost did at some point in time).

"What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do." Isa 46:11b (NIV)

GLIDING THROUGH

Total trust & surrender brought more benefits than just peace & joy. It enabled me to approach this project in ways I would never have thought of. Ideas from album themes to processes would just "pop" into my head. Best of all, God would simultaneously impress key people involved with similar ideas, affirming that His way is best!

"Now glory be to God! By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more that we would ever dare to ask or hope. May He be given glory in the church & in Christ Jesus forever & ever through endless ages. Amen." Eph 3:20-21 (NLT)
