Did I just TOUCH BY YOU... or you?

You can say it is due to obligation to a (sort of) high value Client, who has given me his trust in me on managing his money since the beginning. I was invited by a Friend (who used to be a client) to his X'mas Church Service this morning at the Magelan Sutera Ballroom. And I went, on time (rarely), with lot of coincidences:

1. Few days into Christmas, I have this funny sentimental mood which made me missing my friends at England, they are friends whom I have not been contacting for more than 10 years.
2. Few days into Christmas, I have not been feeling well, so I was taking rest at home most of the time, and realising how much less time I have spend with my love ones at home since I started a business.
3. When I get the invitation by my friend on the phone, I agreed on the spot without the usual hesitation.

If you know me for more than 5 years, please don't be shocked by what I said in the next few sentences ok?

I arrived on time, in my mind this is kinda just another entertainment job I GOT TO DO like usual, I expect to kill about 2 hours here just to keep my friend (client) happy.

So as usual the session started by singing part (woshiping songs, etc) and all the songs are with words like 'Father', 'Lord', 'My Child' (the believer), etc. I used to dislike and totally unagreeable with all these.

What is not usual is this, I started to feel really sorry about something, pictures of my mum working hard at the old kitchen pop up ( you heard me right, I was really puzzled), pictures of my parents getting old was flying around my mind, I felt even more sad. Worse than that, I saw children dancing to the song, I was so proud of them, like they are my own children. (gosh~ am I going nuts?) There is even a notion in my mind that I want to send my children (when I finally have one) for church activity, because it looks like the church is doing a great effort in educating them.

I cross my arms to go into defensive mode, and I took a few deep breath, thinking that will stop my watery eyes from getting worse... (Oh dear~) Then there is a break, and they announce that the next perfromer is a girl, aged 13, named Ritchell Lim, all the way from Perth Australia.

Ritchell Lim is visually impaired, and she was playing piano and sing at the same time...

When she sing the part that goes like this:

'Hear my prayer oh Lord

Please give ear to my voice

Answer me in Your faithfulness

Hear my prayer oh Lord

Please give ear to my voice

Answer me in Your righteousness

Only You who gives sight to the blind

Only You who heals all the sickness

Only You who takes away the suffering...'

I was shivering and I totally lost control of the drainage of both my eyes... (this is embarrassing) Luckily it is still dark in the room. I wipe my face a few times and wondering what is happening to me for a few minutes and at the same time enjoying the moment. Frankly speaking, the sense of peacefulness is in my heart.

Later the senior pastor deliver his preaching, unknowingly I was noding my head to agree on many of the things that he said. (what is this?)

When I leave the service, I feel peaceful like I have never been for a long time, I felt empowered by unknown force, I felt like I just wanted to go home and help out my parents on the things which I wanted to do but was procastinated for a long time. I felt I just wanted to flip through my old phones book and call those friend who helped me in the past and say hi and sorry for not manged to keep in touch for a long time... Wow~ I felt like I was given a new life!!

Now, I know this is sort of a dangerous question to ask here (because it may stir up a storm of argument), if you are a good Christian or Religion people. Can you tell me what is going on here?
