Worship Night

June 26, 2008 (Monday) was the much awaited Hillsong United Praise and Worship Night. And so it was yesterday that almost every youth (and feeling youth?! hehe) who are eager to worship and shout praises to God has attended the said event. The Araneta Coliseum was filled with hearts and hands reaching out to glorify and sing to Him. We're lucky that we had bought the ticket a month earlier so we had a very good seat and not wait for the long lines outside. Before the event I was at work and had to finish a model needed that very night. I know I will not be able to finish the models in time because I'm still learning the program/software used for this production but I just prayed that whatever happens there's a purpose. And so it was 6pm, I should be out but I'm not finished yet, the concert was once in a lifetime but still the work is very important to me. It was my first overtime in the office (if not scheduled same as with the event) and yet I feel like I will disappoint them if I just walk out the office not finishing the job. So I prayed, my cousin is waiting for me at the entrance while I'm still figuring out how to put light on my model. Haha. So i ask for help and thank God my officemate understood me. The model was almost done when I left the office. I texted my boss that I had an event to attend to and so before the worship started I was there. Praise God for that. I was on my out the office when my friend texted (through a common friend's phone) that he lost his phone before the worship.

And so as I met up with my cousin, we had a quick dinner at a nearby fastfood. The start was really great. They started with the song The Time Has Come followed by numerous worship songs and at the middle part we had prayers for healing. Then another set of heartfelt songs for Jesus. The night would not be complete, of course, without singing One Way. Cool. This is really one of my greatest worship ever. I almost had tears when we sung a slow song (I forgot the title) but here's a line: "what could i say, or what would i do but offer this heart, oh Lord, completely to you..." . I also saw some familiar faces on the screen and knew friends (UST, YFC and YOF) just around the coliseum. Was Donita Rose and Rica Peralejo also there? But anyways, the thing is I have sung my heart out, I have shouted my love fo Him. And it's like unloading heavy burdens after.

After the worship we were about to look for cds and souvenirs and so amidst the crowded hall we find our way to the souvenir booth. Just then I realized my phone was lost. I was texting while approaching the booth then suddenly after looking around for the cds and about to text somebody I can't find it on my hand or even my pocket. I don't know what happened but the whole thing of losing my phone was so fast. Coincidence that my friend lost his phone before the worship and me after the worship? I don't know, But whoever that group ( I believe their taking advantage of the large crowd) pick pocketing, may His will be done for them. And for us, may it be a learning experience and just think that it might mean something. Something that's maybe much worthy than the cellphone.
