Keeping me out of trouble!

Well, the last time I blogged was in October and it's nearly a month later.

November 15th was the night of Hillsong United live in Hong Kong at ICA - two shows at 6pm and 8pm. On the previous night we had met at 7pm for Derek to run through all that we were to do on the following night. That was cool and fun and we prayed in our small teams for the following evening.

The thing with me is that when I get too excited about something - I can't sleep. I was so restless that night that I was service managing in my sleep and thinking about it every time I woke up. Then I went through a day at school - which was cool and every time I saw a student who was going, I'd be talking to them about it and getting them excited too....did they learn anything that day....I hope so!!!!!! I went straight from school to ICA to arrive there at 4pm. Then there were a few changes that had been made and we had to get going with sorting stuff out.

It was fun managing inside the auditorium that seats about 700 people. However, so many people came that we filled the balcony upstairs and ended up with standing room only downstairs. (Yan and I had little walkie talkies, but because it was so loud it was hard to hear what anyone was saying.) Well, I think most people stood all the way through anyway - during the awesome time of worship and the message. It was amazing tostand at the back and just seeing these hundreds of people all raising their arms in worship to God. Then we had to usher people out for round two to take place. I was really pleased to see some of my students (past and present) there and even a girl on my hockey team (who later made a committment.).

I love helping out at events like this, welcoming people - getting things ready for people to come into the presence of God.
