Run
I am not perfect and I knew it when I realized that I had let you guys see my bad side on Friday. I may not be as influential and magical like David Foster, Andrew Llyod Webber and Franco Dragone, but I am serious when it comes to MUSIC, well, at least, MY MUSIC. Some people may see me as a perfectionist, especially when it comes to my music, and my close friends know this. I am not trying to be a professional freak, we are expected to be if you dare to call yourself a real musician. And I guess you would agree with me, serious musicians out there..^^ . If you`re serious about music, you would know what I am talking about
. On a less serious note, I just want to apologize if anyone of you have to bear grudges against me because of this flaw of mine. It`s just who I am. Who I am when I am one with my music. During my musicals, choirs and performing days, my heart was often very restless whenever I was watching my fellow performers practice on rehearsal days. I`d hate myself if I ever hit a wrong note, even a semitone off would send shivers down my liver…and I`ll not be able to forgive myself after that. LOL. I guess I need to change..:)
Talking about praise and worship.. I know that It`s the heart that matters during PnW. But, let`s think of it this way, IF I suck during my PnW, will it affect the others? I am afraid it will. I hope You know what I mean
. Sorry, shepherd, guys.. sorry Jesus…ok Ok, let`s not dwell on these things too much…the world would be a much lovelier place if we all forgive and forget
Like what Ps Jeff said during service. “The person who means a lot or is closest to you is the one that can hurt you the most.” OH…this is so true..
I am sorry if I made you think I was angry with you, I was MORE displeased with myself rather..
Sooo, to show that I am sincerely sorry, and also, please do forgive me as well with this lovely song..
Peace out..

“IF I suck during my PnW, will it affect the others? I am afraid it will.”
I believe there is a need to have both the skill and anointing. If I have all the skill in the world but have no anointing … people’s life won’t get changed and you can’t lead people into the holy of hollies.
If have anointing and no skill is not good cos’ ppl will get disgusted and distracted for example if one sing out-of-tune in front of hundreds or thousands.
Need to have a balanced mixture of both skill and anointing. Most importantly, a broken and contrite heart like David (Ps 51:16-17).
Broken Heart – openness to change and humility is key.
Cos’ worship leader don’t have broken heart, one will not seek to improve in skills too. It’s not about “me factor” as a worship leader/musician. It’s about the people. No matter how talented or experienced one is, there is a need to humble themselves so that His spirit can move freely through the worship leader.

I agree with cedric. it is no longer about ourselves or how we sing, but it is about how is God moving in the place of worship. When you grasp hold of this truth, God is able to use us as a channel in which many more lives can be touched and bring nearer to Christ.
You have talent in singing, but do not let the talent be a foothold in which the devil can use to distract you from truly worshipping the Lord, which is ultimately from a humbled and broken heart, fully surrendered to Him.
I believe that you can be a great singer for God and lead many to know Christ through that angelic voice of yours, so dont be discouraged but continue to learn and improve!
I have faith in you!
