church camp

ok, this is one week late, but nvm. time to talk abt how great church camp was!

the speaker during the camp was really very inspiring and impactful. she has been a missionary to nepal for many years, and just hearing her speaks makes me desire more of God's work in my life. she's seen lots of wonderful signs and miracles performed through her life, to the extent where for her seeing a miracle happen is no longer a shocking or surprising thing. its just part of life. o.O

for my own personal walk with God, God really did quite great things in me in this camp. the main thing is my own struggle with my own hurts and past. actually i have been trying to break out of it for the past few months, and i cant say that after this camp i have totally broken through, but i feel a lot more free after what has happened. think God really showed me the extent that this has caused the self rejection within me, and how serious it actually is. at times during the camp i did felt very left out and rejected by God, but thank God that in the end He taught me that no matter what He loves me and wishes to do something in my life. really made me realise that many a times i go down to the altar for the wrong reasons and thus i do not get what i want from God.

relationships with church frens wise i think its been good also. got to know my roommates donovan qingde and jonathon better. and also other ppl in the north zone especially. yup. feel that i have been able to break out of my comfort zone to some extent. devotional life was quite irregular during the camp, cos of the time schedule and i was already receiving so much from God during service i needed time to take it in and meditate on what He had told me that i did not really spend much time reading the Bible. but hope that when i'm back in singapore i will learn to be consistent and rely on God more. God has also revealed to me a vision of what He wants me to do with regards to my mission for this coming year.

and i think with regards to other people, God has been speaking to me to love them more and be more careful with the words that i speak. sorry to all those whom i have intentionally or unintentionally hurt with the words that i say. things like gossiping and stuff also. God really convicted me that i should stop taking part in them and also showed me the reason why i am doing so. hope that as i return back to school and stuff, God will continue to teach me to have that love for others.

yup. so that was an exciting and fun church camp that i had in the mountains for five days during the hols. going for that pretty much jeopardized my studying, but i;m not really concerned. what i have received this camp is so much in comparison with what i have sacrificed. God is really faithful.

church camp

leaving for church camp tmr (or rather today, judging by the time. 11th to 15th) not much time to post much, but just want to put up my goals for the camp

1) to see myself breakthrough in my relationship with God, that i will be able to learn to concentrate on Him and be able to communicate with Him while being myself
2) break out of my own comfort zone and make friends with more church people
3) learn to be more consistent in my own devotional life
4) learn to serve God with the right attitude through logistics team
5) ask God to let me be able to love those around me and be more careful with the things that i say, that i stop hurting people with my words

k. short and sweet. see all of you when i return! XD
