I have officially joined the DANCE MINISTRY in Bethal Assembly
The feeling was great, very very great
That's the kind of feeling that I had
When I first joined the Worship Ministry in River
The feeling of being so happy and free
The feeling is unexplainable
Kailing supposed to coach me on the basic but she was not free that day
So in the end, CB, the leader of the Dance Ministry coach me personally
She wanted me to start with the weapon "Tambourine"
And I was so nervous, happy, scared and thankful
CB taught me right from the very basic
"How to hold the tambourine the right way"
"How to hit and tap the tambourine the right way"
It's tough to remember but thank God I've done my homework before
Holding my "weapon", I'm ready to learn
And take on whatever comes onto me
"Check" "Tap" "Hit" "Zip" "Shiver" "Loop" "Step Ball Step"
Among all, "Step Ball Step" is the hardest to learn
But it was no problem for me. KEKE. Learnt it within half and hour
After which, Peggy taught me the first pattern "Acts"
Doing the hand pattern was easy but with the feet movement is hard
I have always been bad in hand and feet coordination
Took me a while to coordinate my hand and feet
First 8 counts was easy together with the feet movement
From the 8th count to the 9th count was messy for me
As I kept forgetting my feet movement
After trying for another half an hour, I finally got it
So after a full one hour, I finally can show the pattern "Acts"
CB asked me to rest while they practice flags.
Actually, I was not tired but I'm full of energy
My palm was full of blisters because of the tambourine but it's normal
Learning stages are always difficult
After practice, we went for dinner and fellowship together
Was happy that I managed to learn up at least one pattern
Even after reaching home
I was so energetic that I took up my tambourine book
And go through whatever CB had taught me
I believed in doing my best in whatever I've committed
And once I made up my mind, I'll not be wishy washy
And doubting this and that
I had an agreement with CB
And I promised her to do my best in these 6 months
Before we will sit down and renew our agreement
I pray that God will continue to guide me through all the way
I'm taking this big step of faith
And I know that I'll have the support of people
***During the worship before the practice***
My neck was aching
My lower back hurts
My stomach was aching
My right leg had a sharp pain
Everything was just not right and I knew that it was a spiritual welfare
I experience it once just before I served in the Worship Ministry in River
I knew I just got to get through it and it will be over
I knew that "something" is stopping me from joining the Dance Ministry
And CB agreed with me so no problem, I went through it
And everything was ok throughout the practice
And even after the practice, there were no pains and aches
I WON THE MOMENT I PICKED UP MY WEAPON
