I am feeling high... Not high on drugs but high on God's presence... I know this sounds flaky and after a series of angry blogs, the last thing you expect from Charlene is something spiritual... But this is how it is like, isn't it? We can be overwhelmed by emotions but once you step into the presence of God, everything changes...
Emerge is into its' fourth year now. This annual conference was started by Pst Kong in 2003 with the purpose of encouraging the youths in church to live a frutiful life in God... I totally agree with what Pst Kong says, the youths in church should be the coolest, hippiest, most successful in the world but yet at the same time, we uphold good moral values and is determined to live out God's purpose in life. Emerge is a time of consecration, kneeling before God and experiencing his presence. This year's Emerge holds extra meaning for me because it is the first time I'm attending it as a working adult. It's a different feeling altogether but one thing that does not change is the presence of God... I can't describe it, you can only experience it. As we sang Sanctuary, the lyrics echo my feelings and thoughts...
When my world was in darkness
You spoke Your word
Night turned into day
Your beauty filled this place
When my world stood in silence
You filled my heart
With songs that never end
Forever I will praise
To think that the universe
Could not withold Your glory
You choose to live in me
I'm so amazed
And I worship You Lord
My life in You restored
Here is my heart
Make it Your sanctuary
For nobody else
But Jesus only You
You are faithful and true
Glorious Lord
All my life, it is You I adore
You've touched my soul
Completed my world
I surrender to You
