Language is a powerful tool of expression, communication & connection. Expression in terms of verbalising what you want to say to the other party in his or her own particular language.
Communication in terms of speaking sense to the other party without scratching each other's head over what has been spoken.
Connection in terms of building common understanding and breaking barriers between one another.
This whole month of interpretation at the TPM is a definite challenge because i have not been doing it for past 1 year & most of the time i have been using English as the medium of communication around me.
(haha..of cos mandarin is still part of my communication tool with friends..though i must tell you it's whole lot of difference when you are up there on the stage INTERPRETING. LOL)
With fear & trembling, i picked up the mic, stretched my big ears (make sure i dig my ears the day before), opened my golden voice (did i sound sweet?) & let it all out. Haha..this reminded of the scene when Moses said "LET MY PEOPLE GO", i felt like "LET MY WORDS FLOW". That was literally my prayer! Of cos, the Holy Spirit never fails & He just gave me the very words in my mind to interpret in faith, though there were times of stammering & err..ing!
Two things i had learnt:
- I will bless the Lord at all times with the language (mandarin) on my lips, so that people can connect without barriers.
- I will depend on the Lord for anointing & revelation, so that i can communicate & express with the language on my lips.
I am still trusting God in this aspect as i have 2 more weeks of interpretation. Haha..well another 2 more weeks of fear & trembling..& 2 more weeks of "suffering" under my "sweet" voice (super thick skin hor? well..bear with it. You have no choice. Oops LOL)
