Serving in combined service..

ytd was a really exciting day. it was the first time i served in a combined service as an usher leader and the best thing is i didn't even know about it at all, i just went there and was asked to go into a meeting for the leaders. There were crop ups here and there but overall, everything had been good and i learned a great deal of things and i just think that this incident is so in line with all that God has been speaking to me about. To serve and give whatever little that I have and He will multiply.

firstly, the msg given to me was to meet at 12noon, so i told my people to meet at 12. turn out that 12 is the time for the leaders' meeting, so actually the other ushers need not reach yet. Thankfully they all forgave me for making them come down so early. Later on during the service itself, i just did what i could, not really knowing how to use the walkie talkie, i didn't even switch it on at first! alright in the end i still didn't use it at all! haha but i actually learned alot through the listening of the other conversations going on. It's really really different. In the normal services that we have, whatever we need to communicate, just walk to the person and speak, but at the combined service it is so big and the crowd is so large, we really need to watch out every corner.
Some key things i learned from this time of serving. I need to be alert and watch out for things going in every part of the auditorium. A leader leads well by giving clear instructions and clearing doubts that members have. I experienced that a leader is no one different from anyone else who really wants to serve God.

Looking back at this whole thing right after the service ended, i really felt that i had gone through this first time of leading usher in combined service in a 迷迷糊糊 manner. But after thinking more about it, i think God has a msg for me through this and that is that He has a great vision, He wants to complete something in this world that He has created and He has chosen to use me. Little as i am, small may be my contribution, God still wants to use me, and how wonderful is that for me to be chosen to do this work and be part of this work. I thank God and it really is my privilege =)
