Went for Hillsong concert, and believe me, did it ROCK HARD.

The whole concert started out with a bang, with dancers breakdancing around the stage and the loud, loud music. Everyone started throwing their lightsticks in the air :D And screaming, of course. Started off with a few of fast, jumpy songs that got everyone high - yes, me included. Then sang mostly slow songs after that.

Then the New Creations' youth pastor, Benjamin Lim, gave a short sermon about breaking out into God's zone of undeserved favour. Of course, after that the band came back and everyone was screaming again :D Sang more slow, worship songs, then the lead singer (I assume) was like, "We've just started", and everyone started screaming again - the whole mood was rock again.

Sang fast songs next. I swear, I've never jumped more in my life. I was literally jumping around and screaming - not singing, screaming - for all the songs. It was like I felt my arms couldn't go up high enough, even though I've already probably stretched it to the maximum. Everyone where I was seating, which would be in the front, was screaming and jumping. The atmosphere was great! The music was so loud it totally cause the whole floor to vibrate :DDDD

Oh and I realised that the guys from Hillsong have tattoos :D How cool is that? Of course it's not multiple tattoos, just one huge one on the underside of their arm. See, that proves that christianity is neither boring, nor rigid, nor plain. It is DYNAMIC :D

I've never screamed nor jumped so much in my entire life before, and I was really tired out after that. But then I felt like I really could go on and on and on - the whole night, preferably :D

Anyway, I thought about Hillsong - why they are so famous, what makes them different from the other christian bands? And then I realise, it all comes down to one thing - passion. They are passionate about what they do, passionate about God, and they are strong in their faith. That is what makes them different.

I was praised by my dance teacher today, and trust me when I say I was really happy. And honoured. But after this whole concert, it really did seem very insignificant compared to God, compared to being in God's presence. I wondered why I was even happy in the first place. My aspirations, my dream, my dance, all the love for it that I harbor, is being given to me by Him. Therefore, should he not claim every honour? Should he not claim every glory?

I made a decision that although dance is very, very important to me, God is far more important. I would be willing to give up my everything - my dream, my dance - for God. It's him I cannot live without.

As of now, I proudly claim that I am crazy, passionate, wild for my God. The one who holds my world in his hands :DDD

I don't care if you think this is cheesy or boring. I am not ashamed of my faith.
