i am feeling COMPLETELY out of it as i type this because i didn't have a second of sleep last night and i've only had a 2 hour nap to try and keep myself from collapsing over. Anyway..if this post doesn't flow or make sense it's probably because my emotions are all over the place at the moment and i haven't slept :p
SO...it was Bluesky's 24 hour prayer today/last night (technically it's still running). I'm so annoyed coz i took my camera there but then realised i left the battery in the charger. Why am i so retarded sometimes? Looking back, it's probably a good thing i didn't bring it coz camwhoring durig 24 hours prayer probably isn't the greatest thing. So basically from 12 am saturday morning to 12am sunday morning we pray without ceasing! Before u think we must be completely insane because no one could possibly pray non stop for 24 hours, you can stop thinking that coz we actually don't individually pray for 24 hours. What actually happens is: we get broken up into groups of 5 and rostered to pray for an hour/2hours and then another group takes over. Hence, there is constantly at least 5 people praying at any one time during the 24 hours. Every few hours or so we came together as a group for corporate prayer and worship...so a lot of us stayed over at church last night..and staying over at church usually means one thing: no sleep..hence by lunchtime today everyone had massive eyebags and on the verge of collapsing..so luckily a new batch of people who didn't stay over last night came to take over so we could head home to catch up on some much needed sleep. A few are actually staying for the 24 hours..RESPECT!
It was so incredible the way we could just worship God during the crazy hours of the morning, the way we could just reeealyy be in that spirit of prayer and just cry out to God and just the way we could build each other up as a body of Christ. There was singing, there were tears and yep..A LOT of prayer. It's really cool how even though we can feel completely drained physically, we can still worship God and jump around like we have all the energy in the world and that we can still pray in faith...that's the kinda joy God brings =)
hahaha it was soo much fun just being able to hang out with each other when we were not rostered on..and to just sit around, jamming on the guitars and piano, singing songs. I would love to say we were singing worship songs the whole time..but i would be lying. Songs we sang also included "ooh i'm into you and girl no one else will do...with every kiss and every huuug you make mee falll in loveee" and..."keeep bleeeding..keeep keep bleeding love" oh yeah!! Hendy taught me how to play the guitar yayyy! So..i can now play..Emin, G, D, C2 which makes up half of hillsongs music (actually..i've probably forgotten already lol) aaaand i was also taught how to pluck the intro to Getting into You-Relient K! what an achievement, but i seriously don't think i remember anymore.
But not everybody managed to stay awake, it was funny how we can be in this little room singing our lungs out and people can just start drifting off one by one, which allowed us to check out everybody's sleeping habits. lol! peter and su-yin sleep with their eyes open arghhhh!! *sigh* i was sooo close to carrying out a practical joke on hendy while he slept..and i'm kinda disappointed i didn't go ahead with it. There he was completely in dream land...sleeping on the hard table with his hand dangling over the side and the thought immediately came to me: "this would be the PERFECT opportunity to test out the hand in hot water theory and see if it's really true!!" We also happened to be armed with toothpaste so the other option was to squeeze toothpaste on his hand and then tickle his nose with a feather. So we all got really excited over the possibilities..coz it was 5 am in the morning and there was nothing better to do. The only problem was..nobody was wiling to actually carry it out! I tried to get Rob considering they're like best friends and so hendy probably wouldn't mind but then rob tried to get me to do it coz i'd probably be the person he'd least suspect but we all chickened out. Pity tony wasn't there or he would have just done it without any second thoughts. =( so there goes our fun. oh well..camp next week! so plenty of opportunity then hahahahaha!! lol..i'm so mean..
alright..it's 7:30pm and even though it's really no where near normal sleeping time, i reeeallyy need sleep. so nite!
P.S i had the weirdest deja vu moment today! no i will not elaborate but it was reeeallyy strange. All of a sudden it was like..i was 14 years old again hahahahhaa! how it's all so similar is just so biazarre
