Jigsaw

About end of March, Delia came to church office 5th floor to work also. Sometime, she told me she had an untuned guitar with one broken string. So I told her why don't you bring it someday, I'll string it and tune it for you, I've got some strings.

So she did. And while I was fixing her guitar, out of the blue, I just asked her whether her cellgrp needs a guitarist. She said yes and we struck up an agreement, that I would play guitar for her cellgrp for at least a while.

It was a few days after that, that I heard her telling somebody that she had asked God for a guitarist for her cell. I remembered that about one year back, when I was first learning guitar, I had this idea, sort of thought, that Delia was leading worship in a cellgrp and I was there, as her guitarist.

At that time, that scene seemed very probable. We were in the same cellgrp. But after her cellgrp multiplied and she became the leader of the other cellgrp, I just sort of dismissed the idea.

And this year it came true! During that couple of months in her cellgrp, I learnt a few things. I learnt a lot about leading worship, by watching Delia, cause I had to pay her attention and catch what she means and what she wants. I learnt how to be the person encouraging people ( though I din do it very well ), how to be one of those who takes initiative to pray for others during ministry time, the person who assists the cell leader and helps her control things at odd times, cause all Delia's cell members are rather young Christians.

Well, my point in the first place is this: I learnt the guitar to play for worship and to learn to lead worship. Delia needed a guitarist. So...what do you get when you put 2 needs and prayers together? Well...the Lord put those 2 together and out came 2 answered prayers. I think it's really neat the way God did it.
