mixed emotion
for the past few weeks
i've been busy preparing for Taylor's first ever CF camp in Peacehaven, Genting
and throughout the many weeks of planning i faced many challenges but carried on forward with faith
the camp was from 25th~27th Sept (Fri~Sun)
Taylor's CF camp was simply amazing
it was worth every sacrifice i made
Elder KY and Dave Yeow came up all the way to Genting and spoke to us
on the first night session itself, we had 5 responses!
3 wanting to accept Christ and 2 re-dedication
all glory goes to you Lord =)
got up the next morning at 6, bathed, and went for worship practice for Session 2
the water was freezing cold and i trembled all the way to the hall
when i got there, i saw some of the guy commitees sleeping there
found out later that they got locked out of their dorms =P
they used carpets as their blanket which they had brought to use for games.
nyways, we started praticing by 6:45am
i was leading that session and everyone did great =)
Session 2 was powerful and everyone paid close attention as Elder KY shared from his life
after Session 2, we had nearly 2 hours of games
games were fun, even though there were some v. last minute changes ;)
i felt bad though because after everyone went back to their dorms to freshen up, i heard from MZ that some campers hurt their feet while playing the game i was in charge of
ouchies >.< sowwie guys~
Session 3 was fantastic as well, as Dave shared from his heart
nearly all the campers responded to his message and many of them came up to be prayed
it was a God-moment, and He started healing those who were hurt and those dealing with unforgiveness
i was overwhelmed as i witnessed God ministering
with Session 3 ending at a solemn note
campers were given the option of either talking to the leaders privately in Dave's room or to join Crazy Night instead.
majority of the campers went up to a bigger hall for Crazy Night where they played 'capture the flag'
i was there for awhile but later went down to the hall and jammed with my friends at 1-ish in the morning ^__^
after camp commitee debrief, some of us stayed back to play baseball
it was rather amusing i have to say :P
oh yeah, i received a cup noodle+a note and an sms from my angel
(we were playing smth like 'guardian angel' for the whole duration of camp)
and it felt good to be reminded that someone out there was looking out for you =)
slept 'early' and woke up late the next morning
didn't have enough time to bath and so i hurried towards the hall for Session 4 practice
got there around 6:35am and it was extremely cold =/
my phone battery had been out by Session 1 and i finally managed to charge my phone before practice started
was waiting and jamming a little bit while waiting for the others when my phone buzzed
i read the sms and i didn't know how to react
was i suppose to feel sad?
shocked?
traumatized?
strangely, i was calm. super calm.
the thing is, i didn't know her that well
i've only met her less than, like what, 20 times in my whole lifetime?
and when i did get to meet her, it was awkward
to be honest, i don't know the people over there that well
that saddens me sometimes.
i guess its a price i have to bear as a mk
don't get me wrong. i thank God for the life He has given me.
but like everybody else, we each have different challenges to go through
and i'm going to win every challenge by faith
came back to ss15 around 3pm
and went straight to church
i didn't want to go at first because i was tired and had assignments to do
also mixed emotions were brewing within me
but after talking to my mentor, i decided to go
my friends and i were a few minutes late due to post-raya jam
stepped into church and when i started worshipping, i nearly cried
it was hard to hold back the tears but i managed it somehow
got back home after actscampus debrief
and fell asleep instantly.
woke up in the middle of the night and tried to study for chemistry test but to no avail
finally woke up at 7:25 this morning
*yikes*
yeap, i was late for the morning prayer but when i reached the basketball court
i saw this huge group of people standing and sharing testimonies
i was stunned and when it dawned on me that this was the prayer group
i couldn't help but give thanks to God for the breakthrough attendance =)
as we continued sharing and praying more people came and joined us
everybody totalled up, we had 31 people in morning prayer today!
awesomeness.
all glory goes to You!
sat for the chem test today, and i made a few careless mistakes
will improve the next time round!
giving a graded speech in college tmr, uh oh
and SAT is less than two weeks away
and i'm still feeling 'heavy' after i received the sms
do pray for me =)
well that's about it.
will update whenever i can :)
God bless~
