There was a time when we needed to balance our commitments between XSY and school.
There was a time when we needed to balance our commitments between XSY and studies.
There was a time when we needed to balance our commitments between XSY and serving the nation.
There was a time when we needed to balance our commitments between XSY and family and friends.
Now, there is a time when we need to balance our commitments between XSY and work, family, BG friends, other commitments, careers and many more.
I trust that everyone has observed the trend in all of us in MM. We are arriving later for practice and also getting more tired. This is the time that we need to kneel together in prayers.
Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
Psalms 127:1
I believe it is never too late to pray, even short little prayers. I ask that we start now to pray, starting from ourselves. showing our dependence in our God.
Pray for a heart of preparation to serve God through this coming XSY. Not only serving there but even now as we start our practices.
Let us also serve one another in our actions so that we live out the love of our Lord Jesus, such that others see God through our actions.
I believe it will not be easy. Satan will be hard at work! All the more we want to be found, like soldiers of God, putting on all the full armour of God to fight this defeated foe!
Let's ask God in our daily prayers:
1) To have the strength and energy to do what is needed for the day.
2) To be able to make it on time for practice and the strength and energy to last through the practice.
3) To set aside time to pray for the team as well as the time of interaction during XSY.
4) The worship leaders, that God will help them lead the team and to know what to say relevantly and accurately to the students that are coming
5) For the camp committee and all aspects of the camp. (I believe it'll be updated along the way)
1 Corinthians 15:57-58
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
Together on His Majesty's Service!

Thanks bro for the reminder.
I think we all need reminders once in a while. I spoke to Ah chek today regarding why he was late for rehearsals on Sun and he told me he was not feeling well. It is inevitable that sometimes we fall sick, or we have 三急 that we are late for practices/rehearsals but I also do hope that we can minimize this by keeping each other in prayer. I believe that we are all responsible pple who do want want everybody to be waiting for you for practices/rehearsals to start.
Keep in mind who is in-charge of pre-MM as well. As the last schedule did not include pre-MM, I think we hardly had any pre-MM for last month and pple are starting to forget to begin practices with worship, sharing and prayers.
God bless,
