worshiping

we had assembly today and margret jie invited a christian band to our school. well, they sang all the songs in chinese so i didn't catch a word. but you know what? they were absoloutely FANTASTIC!!! their music was good, the voices were in harmony, songs were great! woosh! 7days are not bad at all! compared to our own student worship team(SWT)..we are hmmm.. not as good la. we use a different sound system from them..they brought their own speakers i think. yeah. si kai ge keeps emphasizing on how our school should seriously consider getting new speakers.
actaully, during assembly earlier on, i was thinking "what does 7days have that we don't have? is it the bass guitar? the sound system?" well.. i couldn't really figure..but a thought came to me. would that be important? if people in the villages of cambodia where all they have is a roof can sing praises to the Lord and worship Him, why can't we? is getting a proper band and a good sound system important at all? then this brings us to wonder if we are actually truly worshiping or just enjoying the music. do we even know what the words of the song mean? someone in my cg said that the lyrics don't really matter because as long as the writer of the song understands it, the song would already be meaningful. but NO.. i do not agree. We are singing the song. what's the point of singing a song which only makes sense to the person who wrote it? what's the point of singing songs of adoration when we dont mean it? if your heart's not in it, it's not worth doing. we have to set our hearts right.
something's been bothering me since monday as well. SWT. it is going to be handed down to one of this year's sec 2s. i haven't been going for SWT or youth fellowship(YF) for a really long time already because practices always either clash with training or tuition. attendance to yf and swt matters if one is going to be elected as president of swt. their testimonials also matter. and you know what? one of the people i know who has been missing cca ever so often has decided to come for cca regularly already because he or she wants to have a good testi. i worry man.. cause if this person manages to carrying on this act, i dont know what's going to happen if he or she becomes the pres. i don't feel good as i type this. i know i shouldn't be saying anything bad about anyone.. but i really worry.
*'s heart is not right.
*'s attitude is not right.
i'm probably looking at the speck of sawdust in *'s eye and not seeing the plank in mine.
ok. and i should not be worrying. "do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and petetion, with thanksgiving, present your request to God".. yup.. so i shan't be anxious and neither should i worry. i guess if He does make him or her the pres, he must have a reason and a purpose. He can work through anyone. christian or not.

mum wants to use the com.
bye!
