ConneXion

ConneXion student conference in First Baptist. an event which amazingly i managed to put everything behind and focused in it.

There were four sessions, first on Friday night and three others on Saturday afternoon and evening and night.:P

The first session went with Marilyn, SeJung, SiRui and of course, Billie. There was ...pre-worship music?... then later praise and worship by Dan Carson and his team, it was awesome. He did it for three sessions, it created such a comfortable atmosphere that got me think of nothing but sing. I dozed off a lil bit during the sermon, my fault, was too tired. Jason, a student pastor preached about 'What does Jesus mean to you?' He did raised a question, which left us thinking...thinking...

The second session went with SeJung. Billie joined the pre-worship music. Then there's Dan Carson's p&w, then Jason's second sermon, on 'the authentic trasfomation'. It was short but concrete, then we moved on to the third session at two thirty, the breakout session. There were two slots where we could chose from 7 topics. Later there was Q&A session by Jason. He answered a number of questions which most of us were interested in. I wished we had more time on that. The sessions were good, i was reminded again of my role as a Christ believer, yes.

Then it was dinner. We went to Amcorp Mall with Candis. I ordered a nasi goreng kampung, and it was the first time i wasted food, i mean, really wasting. I ate like, two 'mouth' of it and i could't eat it anymore. It was probably the most spicy nasi goreng i've had in a year here in kl. I was feeling guilty and yet so helpless that my tongue was ruined.

After dinner we had the last session at seven thiry, damansara connexion did the pre-worship and it was nice. Then we had the second Q&A session with Rodney, the church pastor and three other 'elders/student leaders?'. Then the p&w worship with Dan Carson, the third and last time for the conference, man he can sing any songs~ Six times and a half of 'George Washinton Bridge' can be made a song. And he sang one song with a speed that (i dun really get what he sang~). Later it was Jason's preaching again. Two quotes that i would like to share with you, by Jason:

"Everyone wants to be a part of GREATNESS."
"Stand up for God, even if you have to stand ALONE."

The second quote means a lot to me, a great challenge, that needs a lot of sacrification. Then he did a calling for us students to respond to HIM, the one who is there from the beginning to the end.

Then we dismissed.

Then i started to feel a sense of missing.

Ok we should not depend too much on feeling since it won't last. And it's time to start wrapping the messes that i created in my life, for the past few weeks, and live for Christ. It'll be a start and never an end.

Discipline, Faith, and most of all, LOVE.

Thanks to Billie who ajak us to the conference and Kevin, Candis and not forgetting, Martin who drove us to and back from the Church. =D


The first night with SeJung, SiRui, Marilynn and the photographer, Billie.

Jason, the main speaker from the States, he brought along 20(if i'm not mistaken) young people with him, all of them nice and friendly.

Steven (from North Carolina and has a pair of very beautiful eyes, the first guy i talked to in church that at first i was so...Shy i guess...) and Alice (from erm, which part in Sabah already?, speaks Cantonese fluently and it's nothing like what KL people speaks, it's very Hong Kong-nized, and her English is like, very Chinese, i mean China, that makes me thought she came from China~, a very nice God-loving girl :P).

With Billie and Candis before leaving for (home).
