As i recall,
3 years ago, at the same month, i did a hulking decision in my life that made me disconnected to this kind of "busyness". That "disconnection" led me to a realization that "I am happy when I am busy"_ busy to give Him glory! Now that I am reconnected by God's grace, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be working again to the pipeline that He really meant for me. Indeed, only by His Grace!
August 2013,
God has really proven how amazingly He holds and loves us that even if how hard we try to let go, He never gives up on us!
Flashback to the full-packed sched on this month.
1st Sunday ,
We celebrated the 9th Anniversary of Cornerstone Chapel Hadyai - a blissful celebration with a theme "Forever Grateful", declaring God's faithfulness and greatness to His people.
Part of this celebration is our dance "Today is the Day" which is originally sung by Lincoln Brewster. But, this time we dance this with the version of thai.
Here's the video of this dance..
we also had the dance for that song "Forever God is Faithful". This is the dance that we never had a general practice for everyone who participated..lol.. so you know already the result but then still it was fun! :)))
2nd Sunday,
Celebrating the Mother's Day here in Thailand.
And as a tribute to all the mothers, we had this thai dance taught by the thai dancers in our team, Wann & Nafia. I don't understand the lyrics, i was even confused with dance steps and felt awkward in moving, but seriously, I enjoyed this dance and thankful that i able to wear a thai costume at last! :)
Here's the video!
(psst... we did practice twice only, as in the song was played twice only a night before the final performance..hehehhe..:)
(okay fine, i admit....i am the Best in Cheating in this dance..... haahahha)
3rd week,
the team attended thePlan13 in Penang, Malaysia. Certainly soooooo blessed in that conference. God has taught and reminded me a lot of things. Really it was a refreshing... really an awesome gathering... Thankful that God has used people so we can join to that conference!
We were asked to perform a Malay dance which was part of the production or the opening part of the said conference. We were nervous cause it was our first time to have a Malay Dance and the fact that in front of us were mostly Malaysians. But thank God, we did it! :) mmh sorry don't have the video of this though...
but here's during our practice in the house..

(actually this dance tutorial was made for Faith for she was "out of town" again during our rehearsal..:D)
Aside from that Malay Dance, we were asked to give an exposition of Genesis 37:1-23. Honestly, got a hard time of understanding what it is.. :)) another first time for us... to present this passage in the Bible through dance...........the story of Joseph the Dreamer! yeh...i heard this story since i was a kid in our Sunday School with my mom as our teacher!weeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh...... A day and a night of headache... had brainstorming with the girls..til we ended sleeping all in bed and hoping to have an idea on what to do through our dreams! when we woke up on the next day, did try to recall if we dreamed something but nothing ..hahhahh...then we prayed and surely, God is the God of wisdom and He gave this idea to us.
Here it is...a spontaneous dance presentation of Genesis 37:1-24.
the music on the last part in this presentation wasn't the correct version of the song, you could see the confusion at the middle of that dance and that was my fault coz i didn't check it before we performed..another lesson learned.. :)) but i guess it was still okay though coz we managed to finish the dance still!...hehehhh... Praise God!
4th Sunday,
we had our YES-Hatyai August (Youth Empowerment Service-youth gathering in our church). Actually we supposed to dance this- "Hello My Name Is" by Matthew West.
But, since we were busy in our work (our students joined an inter-school competition), so we ran out of time to have a practice... hoping to dance this next time.
