♥ TM Camp 08
camp is over and it was just great(:
really really been blessed by this camp!! as in, no super emotional highs and stuff, but i think God was really real this camp. i mean His presence (i'm not gonna say smell anymore) was so thick, like whoa. amazing stuff. God is really really awesome:D
camp was really different from the last 4 years though. i mean, basically, no group to worry about. so during the discussion times, i could just chill out with the other oldies (tsura's group VIII. the nobles gases. ahahaha) moses and nat are really such good leaders, i mean their heart and passion and all. awesome to watch :D so i just let them do their thing, didn't wanna interfere. as i spent time with the older people, i realised that.. i'm old. ahahaha. still, it was refreshing(: between worship commitments, and break times during discussion, it was just nice:D
oh wait, just in case anyone gets offended, i don't mean that having a group is bad or anything. i loved every single group i've taken! just that having a breather this camp was nice:D
spent a lot of time with people like amy, liz, tsura, and daniel loke. fun stuff :D they're all such cool people. and as i sat in the auditorium on sunday morning with the rest of the leaders, i somehow felt this kinship with all of them. like.. they're all really fun to hang out with and stuff. and we're all linked through our desire to see our own cg members, and through them the whole of tm412, grow. and i wondered to myself, why do some of us feel so lonely at times? IT'S SO WRONG. so i'm gonna start making a conscious effort to spend time with the other leaders just to encourage them and edify them:D i mean.. supporting each other is just as important as supporting the youngers that God has entrusted us with. right?
and people like eugene goh and amy tan are such cool people :D discovered a lot this camp about different stuff, not about God specifically, but a lot about struggles in christian leadership, and a lot of things about youth ministry and cg dynamics. i'm quite excited about next year!! lots and lots of things to pray for, and really excited to see God work in and through this youth ministry(:
the only pity was that some people that would have really benefited from camp didn't come. but oh well. God's gonna get them soon(:
oh ya, my right foot really hurt halfway through camp. i think i kicked too hard when i was drumming =/
AND ANOTHER THING!!!
5 p6ers shared testimony during camp. like, FIVE. FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE!!!! WHOAAAA. woo hoo!! PRAISE GOD:D i'm really excited to see what God is gonna do in their lives. very very exciting(:
gonna miss my sec 4s though! but looks like they're having a great time with jeanne and ian so at least there isn't gonna be any worrying on my part(:
one more thing about camp!!! i've finally done something that i've wanted to do for a long long time. i went up to dave reardon and asked, "pastor dave!! CAN YOU PRAY FOR ME?"
and he went, "yep sure! what do you want prayer for?"
being prayed for by him was awesome :D ahaha. just cos.. you know. getting prayed for by a man of God is great! STEAL SOME OF THE ANOINTING. OH YEAH:D ahahaha. but anyway, thinking back, i realised that i could feel God's presence suddenly once again. not that God's presence isn't around, but i'm talking about that "smell". and i know i've been anointed to do stuff for God :D not just that emotional high thingie, but an impartation of God's spirit. by faith, i know that it's in me as long as i remain obedient before God, even if i don't feel it(:
which gave me something else to think about. i want to be like that. so close to God. and being able to just pray and minister to people at any time of the day, not just at ministry times, or in church or stuff. but u know, being prepared in and out of season, dot dot dot. oh, i asked him to pray for me as he was rushing off and it was after the photo taking and stuff. just to put it into context(:
ok. this post is super disorganised and very very long.
random stuff:
SAT results are out on christmas!
and some old problems are coming back. NOOOOOO. (only chris knows what i'm talking about. if u're my close friend, u can try asking me what it's about ^^)
