Cell group was good. Two thoughts came during cell group. We were supposed to share about something that helps us in our worship of God. I knew that I was ready to share about how the worship of God has always been facilitated by christian music and I had brought my Marshall headphones along because it is one of the more important tools in helping create that me and God communion.
During cell, as I was thinking about what exactly to share, it suddenly dawned on me that I had no recollection on when worship of God worked that powerfully in my life. I tried hard to recall, and vaguely remembered that it was not at the start of my Christian journey though I was ministered by Christian songs even as a pre-believer. If I am not wrong, the working of the Holy Spirit through Christian music in helping me to pray, in leading me in prayer, in creating compassion and love for others, in bringing people to mind, in the birthing of certain initiatives, in the insights and perspectives gained, probably only became very clear when I started to worship in tongues. I can't be totally certain but I think so.
The other perspective was how relationships are more important than how I do for my studies. I had been aiming for at least an A- for all my courses which had led to a lot of pressure especially when I work full time. In addition, my life had never been just about work. Every other activity has been a means to build some sort of relationship for the glory of God. And so, when this perspective came suddenly during cell group, that I realized that whether it is an A I get or a C I get, I will still get my masters degree, that took a load off me especially when I was and still am feeling stressed about the upcoming test on Monday. I was stressed but blessed after cell group, thanks be to God.
More about tongues in another entry. I am getting back to studying for Monday's test.
