Perspective

Published by neil under acoustic guitar, andy mckee, dangerous place to be, music on November 7, 2008

I was invited to play for the GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT held at CCF, St. Francis Square by Roy Fabella of Windsong. He wanted me to play “Rylynn“. I felt excited for the opportunity to play. I always wanted to do this. So it was a rather joyful moment for me.

What I didn’t expect was this.

I am familiar that CCF has a huge crowd, but judging from the seats and the nature of the conference, I knew this was going to be a big audience. I couldn’t feel anything. Either I was too nervous or was doing my best to calm down. I also thought why God put me where I was at that moment.

11:57 minutes before 2:00PM (my turn)

When I took this shot, I thought of how God must be watching me. And he will be looking at me further 11:57 minutes from then on.

Come 2:00PM, show time. I did not even once, glance at the audience.

Just did a simple bow after I played “Rylynn“. I looked at the audience and sighed a big relief and thanking myself that I did not glance at them. I would be too frightened. In all my years as a musician, doing solo numbers still freak me out. I don’t decline, but I don’t relax either.

Did I tell you there were plenty of people? It was a surprise to see siblings Tim Mallilin and Tiff Mallillin. He actually waved at me before my number.

I asked Ate Dits to take pictures of me, and I would argue this shot deserves a trophy:

Perspective - how do you see things?

I’m small compared to God. But sometimes I project myself being bigger than him. But in reality, He is bigger than me. In reality, regardless of how I stubborn I am, He watches over me.

This is my reflection on the photo above. I am but a small servant playing for a big God. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t aware I was projected on the screen. I’m happy to not know! God must be snickering at me for thinking this.

Anyways, Windsong rocked CCF after my number.
