Repeated Reminder?

Today’s sermon was humorous, yet sketchy. But nonetheless, I was glad to be able to attend the 2nd church service, which felt quite odd and different because this 2nd service actually consists of working adults who were mostly parents. It was really different compared to attending the 1st service comprising of mostly teenagers. Oh dear… am I really seeing the signs of Young Adult ‘ageing’?

I did not really capture much of the sermon message today, but one thing kept ringing in my mind, when this guest speaker led worship before, during and after the sermon. Somehow this thought has been bugging me for some years, ever since I had begun attending Covenant Presbyterian Church with Rebecca.

It’s like whenever I watch someone play the guitar and singing his heart out in worship to God, I would feel this warmth and urge to want to learn to play the guitar. But I always push these thoughts aside with reasons such as (1) I’m not musically inclined, (2) It’s so difficult to press the guitar strings, (3) It’s quite expensive to buy a guitar, (4) What if I buy a guitar, then later chuck it aside and it becomes a white elephant, (5) I can’t even sing well, (6) My voice is too soft, (7) I don’t want to be arrowed to play for worship session, (8) How am I going to take up lessons when the church doesn’t cater any, (9) Taking lessons outside is expensive, (10) How am I going to practice at home, without disturbing my family, (11) What if this is just a moment of liking, etc.

I don’t know what these thoughts mean or whether this is just a temporary passing thought, though this thought has been passing by, once or twice a year. Hmm… I really don’t know. See where God leads… I don’t want to guess now…
