good day everyone, i want you all to know that to have all your support is a great thing and thats what i need right now, the people that are closest to me to give me support because it is a cruel world out there and im already experiencing it. now before i say all that i want to say, i dont have melvins and melissa's email address, could you please leave it on my blog cause i would like to write to you guys personally, thank you.

God has a purpose for me in perth whether i like it or not, but like my dad said, if you HAVE to do something, why not like what your doing and you'll begin to enjoy it and to me, anything for GOD is a must, and i do like it, i just dont like where i have been put. i have already started to spread the gospel, i have taken my room mate who is very set in his ways but i managed to convince him to go to church and he came and he cant wait to come again, i urge you all out there, i know how some of you feel, "im content with my life, i dont need to bring anyone to church, if they want to, they will come" i used to think like that, well not really but something like it but i live in a place where i have no friends, so i took a step forward, i, in a way indirectly forced andrew to go to church and he went. that is what god wants, he wants to get sinners into thye church because as my favorite pastor said, the church is for sinners, if you're perfect, get out!!! many of you out there have a gift, and i believe god has given you that gift to influence others and they will see christ living inside you. i believe my gift is music and im going to persue it. my point is, get out of your comfort zone and ask someone to church, thats what god wants, dont just come to d.c every saturday to enjoy urself, dont be selfish, bring someone else so they can enjoy too and in the process know God, today alone andrew went to church and gave his life to JESUS, that is phenomenol, and you know how i got him there, i told him, you want some good music, some with a good beat, thats why he came, not because i said, you will hear a good sermon, of course in the process he was listening contently to the sermon but it was the music that brought him to church. and that brings me to my topic of worship in youth, it is great, yes, but i believe it can be better, the musicians in the youth have potential, i mean look at samantha, and im hoping that the two girls that also are there playing with her, yes u know who i mean girls, if u want to play, put your whole heart in it, and i can see isaac plays very good, but zack, your a sax player, not a trombone player, you have to dance, its part of your role.........i know it sounds pathetic, but take this guys, if we are not excited about worship, we cant blame the audience, we have to be jolly, we have to be a bunch of yahoo's for GOD, worship is not a moment of silence, its a time to release all you have for god, the lord wants us to worship him, just side tracking a bit, guess who i saw in person guys and was at one of his worship summits........HILLSONGS..........BIG BLACK GUY...........FROM AMERICA..........SANG KING OF MAJESTY...............the one and only ALVIN SLAUGHTER...........he was good man, the whole sermon was singing, every 5 minutes he felt like a song so he got up and sang one and all of us got to sing, it was great........anyway, as i was saying, take a look at hamilton, me and him are always having a great time but all of us have to have one, not just the both of us........we have to cant wait to get to church to worship the lord........i know i cant, i cant leave my guitar alone for 10 minutes when im studying of a night, andrew is starting to sing along too.......hahahaha, and i have gotten in trouble so many times because im playing my music during study time..............but i DONT CARE, i love the lord, and no one is stopping that........a few people have come in and said that is cool music, what is it, i say its christian  music, they say "what!?" i say yup, want to see the words............you probably dont know what im saying, but all that i am going to learn at my new church worship practises, i plan to bring it all back to GCC, melvin wants to impact the community of Kota Kinabalu, PEOPLE!!!! get excited, there are so many ways to do it, i mean we could have a gig, why not, you al have the talent capability to do it, its a matter of willingness, a matter of going out of your way for others, cause your going out there not for urself, trust me you dont get anything from anyone, you get something much better, you get god's blessing, that is the greatest thing you could ever get. just remember that you all have it much better than me, you all have each other, you're doing it all together, i have no body here to help me, but i think i can make an impact on my school, it might take me 2 years but i will do it........so if i can do it, u can, all of you can, so get involved, be someone who makes things happen, not watch things happens, "the lord delights in deligent hands" whatever you gift or talent is, use it for the glory and honour of his kingdom.........

anyway, i wont say much, oops......i've said a lot.........thank you all for ur support but sorry sam, i cant not think of you guys, my home will always be k.k..........

Dun wan2 preach, but need2tell u worship is not just music and songs, though it can be expressed that way. I know you are open enough to consider a much braoder definition of what worshiping God means, beyond a song. Knowing that u r a leader of sorts for music ministry, I urge you to prayerfully consider Romans 12:1-2 for definition of worship.

"...I bring You more than a song, For a song in itself, Is not what You have required, You search much deeper within to the way things appear, You're looking into my heart..."

May you impact the lives of many through your music and your lifestyle of worship =) fellow KK & Perth resident.

hey there... WA is such a small state. I live in Bunbury now and I met your sister who's living in Bunbury. Well, met her before but didn't realise the KK connection until last week she mentioned her (your) dad living in KK and attending GCC, and you studying at GGS and all. Funny that. Going to her house this evening too. Hope TEE went well with ya. =) Rebecca
