hey all, its joel here! haha we're still fresh from DIAFY(just woke up from 1743 yesterday) so yea writing my thoughts down about what i felt during the trip there(you can too :).
when i first started preparing for the DIAFY, i was really apprehensive, i mean NKF!! such a big organisation and we are such a minuscule group, how to let us go there!! then i was really debating whether we shld get thong teck home instead, but as i was debating i heard this song come up in my ipod, "hear the trees' joyful cry, praising you and so will I, a new song i'll sing, Lord i will glorify and bless your holy name" i was set thinking by the Lord no less, could this be the new song we'll be singing? could this be the step of faith God has set for me? i was challenged by the words that the song had said, so i went ahead with the plan, believing God will make a way.
and yes the testi from the aftermath of DIAFY followed plus the one in cell for those who werent there.(eh thats everyone..)
then if you didnt know, the stars thing and the bottle werent like decided on last monday or something, it was thurs night.. haha.. so i was severely daunted by the mammoth task that laid ahead of us. i was also thinking of going immediately into PW instead of games, but God intervened and told me," let the cell continue, let God win the battle for you." i obeyed obviously, but being the MAN i am, i also wondered how God could help.
after a wonderful cell session, we started on the thing proper, which was already 2232hrs. and we are all usually high and eating stuff so we actually started on 2300 plus minus. i was like uh oh.. but we already started so far, we had to see it through. so we started doing the indomitable amount of stars.
to tell you the truth, in case you don know(dont think i told anyone), i just cycled 13 km before cell, so i had a big tad of tiredness coursing through me, if God wasnt there i would have been the first to KO. then when all KO at around 0430, i was super demoralised and even contemplated following them, but the ipod(yeah i love my ipod), played one of my favourite songs, when it went,"I'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned, In awe of the one who gave it all, I'll stand my soul Lord to you surrender, All I am is yours." i was so touched and i just wanted to worship God right there and then, but God impressed upon me that what i'm doing is glorifying God's name, so get on with it! so yea i now realised God won the battle of the Z monster for me! haha praise God!
then we were obviously late for DIAFY, that the slotted time was fast running out on us. Thank God for the two beautiful taxis that turned out for us(ours was blue) that we were able to get there faster.
during the DIAFY, i was really blessed myself as i gave our 12 hours of work to the patients, although my side didnt really wanna talk so much. and i thank God for vicky that she was able to give us time to understand more about dialysis and the huge risk in our diet that puts the strain on kidneys, and yes the evidence in her case was QUITE convincing.. haha.. yeah and after that, thank God the taxi driver nv bring me round and round wasting my money, cause i had KOed in the taxi.
i want to thank God for everything, that it is not my strength but His that brought me through. i was only his servant and when jon yuan told me he respected me, i didnt really wanna divulge my personal moment with God, so i kept quiet and smiled knowingly(sorry jon yuan!). so all in all i just wanna thank all of you! thank you thank you thank you!!
P.S. pls pray for the patients and nurses, their job not so good.. and imagine the needles!! and their hearts to be converted to God.
cheers and =),
joel
