It Came To Pass
A secret wish came to pass last night.
Ever since I knew what worship is, I've had this secret dream that someday, someone from the/any worship team (I was at PC then) would hear me sing (and of course, acknowledge my ability). Maybe it's the pride thingy. I just want to hear someone publicly acknowledge that I am good enough.
However, I wasn't actively pursuing that acknowledgement. A part of me know that I am not called into that ministry of service, and hence, there is no need for me to "show off" this ability. I still sing, nonetheless, in karaoke lounges. Heh :)
Yes, I love to sing. Come to think of it, I like the exhileration singing brings. I find it very therapeutic. I can lose myself in the midst of a song, just like the way I lose myself when I am in a movie.
So, I still sing. And yesterday, it was a very impromptu thing that we did. We went singing after supper, which was after cell group (Yay! Praise God! I have found myself a group to belong to!).
Somewhere in between songs, one of the guys (who does worship backup singing) was asking me why am I not in the worship team, and that he would mention my name to the worship pastor, that I felt a little flighty and floaty. . .* . .. :D (In case you wonder otherwise, he is the boyfriend of the cell group leader. Out of bounds :) The other guy is a superb electric guitar player (he is a part of a 3-pc secular band) who kept nodding his head whenever I sing (he's married :D).
I was in the company of people who actually know the craft and acknowledge - not just briefly mentioned - that I can sing. Of course, I like the attention. But to leave things as they are (before we step into the KTV), I simply did a "Huh? No lah..." and didn't allow any further discussion on that.

Yeah, the whole thing sounded as if I am doing all that to puff up my pride. And I do not deny that was one of, and probably is, the main reason/s.
But today, it came to my realisation today that God had used yesterday to respond to this secret little desire of mine.
Finally, He responded. It took a long time, but I got my answer.
I am grateful. Another answer made known to a secret wish.
Thank you God.
