Crazy Sex Rally!

Woooo! It's sunday again! my blogging day..
Sorry about my lack of blogging..
My weekdays are usually quite busy and boring..
Very busy actually.
I'm still four weeks behind handing in my english essay..which i don't plan to do. Too late x.x My bad!

But on Saturday, it was the Fungus/101 Crazy Sex Rally! Days, weeks, months were spent in preparation for this one day...for four minutes of perfection. Altitude, with the help of Bryan and our "manager", and Nick, after over a month of rehearsals and indecisive decision-making, was able to pull off quite a memorable and rewarding performance! Thankyou so much to all of you! You are awesome blessings ^.^, we wouldn't have been able to do it without you. From choosing one song with the four of us, to another song, to two songs with the six of us, it was quite a journey.
But through all the hours of filming, recording, dance practices, singing practices - every minute of it was worth it..

Well actually..the re-recording of me & audrey's rose scene was quite a waste of time :P
AUDREY TAN...learn how to step on a rose please!! xD (we took around twenty takes..at least) haha.

But I'm glad that it's all over!

No more interrupted school nights,
And most of all..an awesome performance dedicated to God.

In all, it was quite a successfull night! There were not as many people as expected, but nevertheless, all of them were able to hear a little about the amazing God we serve. The beatbouncr's dance was AWESOME (go josh!), and the ever so annoying smoke alarm. LOL. No one anticipated that would happen...hehe =P Although the topic was quite controversial, and the message was quite weird (in my opinion), he did make several good points which are very true about the society today. You know, sometimes it's so easy to miss the point of these rallies. Sometimes we could be overly concerned with lighting, how well we perform or the amount of people who attend, but it occured to me that these don't really matter! The reason we do this is to glorify God's name, and to begin to plant seeds in the hearts of people, and in time will grow unbelievably to impact lives. That's all that matters. Even those 'unsavable' people in our lives have hope. Glen Berteau from Kidshaper spoke a powerful (and hilarious) message exactly about this topic:

no matter how impossible the situation may seem, and however stubborn people may be to receive god's word...it only takes ONE TIME for god to work amazingly. So it's all about persistence and determination, and above all, faith in our God. Because through Him, the impossible becomes possible.

All I can really do is reflect and stand in awe of Him. For the success of Saturday, and for the lives that will be changed in the future, and thank Him for His unfailing love. Every life and every breath means so much to Him, and that gives me hope for what can happen through faith.

So THANKYOU God!
For the amazing and successful rally, for the lives you touched, for the work you will do in the future. Thankyou for all the people who made the rally what it was, for the time and dedication and hours given to glorify your name. You are truly an AWESOME God!
Impossible is nothing.
