The Bigger Picture

I managed to watch "Monsters vs Aliens" yesterday after borrowing the dvd. Susan gets bigger after getting hit by an astroid. She conquers her fears and accomplishes great feats with her new found strength, and realises that living in the shadow of someone else's dream cheats her of her own life.

I was at choir practice today, learning from the guru, how to discipline the choir, how to put thoughts into action. "Most adults are fighting their own fears when learning something new, whereas it comes naturally to a child. Be calm when you learn. Don't be 'kan cheong'." Then the pastor reiterates "Be alert, be aware of yourself, be self controlled, do the right thing, being children of the light we will be ready." The trouble is it's hard waking up, until someone brings it to attention; or get hit by a meteor.:)

Some times seeing the bigger picture requires asking the right questions. For the choir, it is how does melding the choir and the worship team come about? The first answers are watch Godtube or you tube. Being exposed to different presentations of the same song, learning to differentiate, and discern what is good, what will work with this group. What does serving each other mean? Taking on some responsibility to help others grow. How do we get the church together? a combined effort, involve the youth, combine choir...expect great things from God and do great things for God..ok one step at a time.
