Hello people...ck here. What I am about to say will most probably not go down well with all of you... I am pulling out of Rapture entirely. Not just the other items, but navras itself. I'm not doing this for some strange and twisted reason or with a depraved mind. Making this desicion has not been easy for me, given that i do love dance. It's a passion I will take with me wherever I go.
I am pulling out of Rapture because of God's calling. After returning from my church camp, God showed Himself to me to be so much more real than ever before. As much as I have a passion for dance, my passion for God proves to be stronger. I have made a desicion to follow God and chase after Him instead of the things of this world. That would also mean no secular music and no secular dance. If there's any dance I will ever do, it would be dance that glorifies God and furthers His kingdom. My reasons for pulling out of Rapture had been vague previously, but I'll make it clearer here.
In the midst of SYF training, God has already called for me to leave dance behind and follow after Him. But I disobeyed Him and decided to continue on with Rapture. It was during this time that God was already prodding me to leave Rapture and follow Him, but I refused, until He convicted me and I decided to leave Rapture. I hated what I did, leaving behind my passion to go for some camp that God wanted me to go, so much that He had to intervene. But after attending the church camp, I realised why God made me go for it. It truly had been a life changing experience. In this camp I achieved breakthrough with the Lord, and saw His face more clearly than I had ever seen. We had 43 salvations by just pulling people off the streets to come to our evangelistic service, and miracle healings that you usually hear of rather than see. But indeed a group of 4 from my church prayed for a crippled old lady, and she could stand upright after that.
Some of you may misunderstand my intentions, or even doubt my reasons as to why I'm leaving Rapture entirely. But my reasons are true, and my heart sincere. I openly confess that I am not on the best of relations with most of you, and many times I wonder what I did wrong. I thought of this a few days back, then God spoke to me again, and I realised that if I had forged close relationships with all of you, I would have been too attached to dance, and not have gone for the camp. That is not to say that I wouldn't want to be closer to any of you, but that God had a plan from the day I joined dance.
I honestly don't expect Mrs. Chia to be too happy about this, but then again, I fear God more than I fear her. In fact, I don't expect that any CCA points will be given to me. For some of you, it might be difficult to understand. But to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, I hope that you can understand my situation. Indeed, I am truly sorry for all the trouble caused. I am entitled to nothing from anyone of you, but I ask for your forgiveness and understanding in this.
Yours Sincerely...:(
