I'M BACK FROM CAMP! (: teehees. and i'm so so happy that i went to camp! i think that camp just rocked the hell outta my skins! (: this is gonan be a long entry. just gonna celebrate loads of stuff. thinking stuff and just praising God i guess! (: yupps. camp started of really bland. lols. cause everyone was so quiet. but as time went by everyone became enthu! (: had vic as my group leader, nicholas, joel, sarah hoon, wanqi and karina in my group. i think my group is terribly NUTS! and real lame. lols. oh well maybe we do get outta hand at some times. but yeah we're cool! (: had amazing race all the way to sentosa and for the first time in my entire life i hitched a ride from a LORRY! x) lols! so cool! (: that was all thanks to karina's sweet talking to the indian man. we did a funny lame cheer. sat the cable car and stuff. yupps. when we get the photo's i'll upload them here. (: yupps. this year's theme is "step out" i think its meaningful. gonna make that my new years resolution. i'm going to step out. make new friends. reach out to God more. and step out to do something that i think i need to change. yupps. had air-coned bunks. bunk mates were TOOTlulu boyfriend laura and pearlyn. YAY! we're cool! (: hahas. the air-con was FREEZING! sighh sighh. i was shivering the whole night. and guess what lucky me got sick in camp. and i still am! ): runny nose, block nose, sore throat? but my core throat was worth it! (: i think i got it from too much singing? lols.
second day rocked! but sad to say it rained so many activities were cancelled. hahas. once of the games nicholas had his hair washed and his teeth brushed. lols. was hilarious. oh we made 2 new friends! (: jolene and ling xuan. they're cool! (: hahaha. yeah.. hm. each group had to put up a skit and in each skit someone has to die, we have to praise the judges and they would put an annoymous prop up on stage and we have to use it in the skit. was so funny! i think all the groups skit rocked! (: YEAH! oh and we all had to learn line dancing! to shalalalala.. shalala in the morning~ you get the idea. hahas. the parents came for out potluck dinenr! and they was a huge massive amout of food! (: i had to stuff myself! ): lols. we played the angel and mortal thingy. i had rui as my mortal. and tammy was my angel! (: teehees. laura taught us a new game called polar bear! and we went obsessive over the game! lols.
now to the worship and sermon and last nights worship step out session. i think that was the highlight. worship was the best! sang many of my favourite songs! and i think i had the best feeling i had during those times! it was like so meaningful in a certain way. sermon was done by amos. he's GOOD! this year's camp sermon theme was belonging- to God, one another and to the world. really inspired me lots. (: only todays sermon was a little confusing? hahas. maybe it's because we slept late last night. yeah. talked about God's unconditional love for us. a little long to talk bout it. but unconditional love summerises it. yupps.
last night was the best night in my entire life! we had worship all the way till 1am in the morning. sang the best and most meaningful songs. everyoen was bonded just like that. sag our hearts out although everyone was gettin sore throats. we had sharing of testimonies as well. i think that was when my heart felt so touched! especially for the sec 3 class and nicholas's testimony. the sec 3's bible study class was getting smaller and smaller. until it was left only 3 people. one of them prayed hard to get the class bigger. and God' sent rudolf back to them. rudolf came to ORPC when he was a kid and he left. and now he's back. thats like great! for nic. i think my heart went out to him?! hahas. sounds weird i know but yeah. was about him drifting away from God and all. and he said this "after drifting away from God for so long., coming back to God is the most painful experience." and that " whenever you physical friends are not with you. Your spiritual friend would always be there, and that spiritual friend is God." you can really really see God's blessings just through them. oh, we used lightsticks so whoever had shared would break a lightstick and by 1hour we would see how bright our "campfire" would be. dawns felt so so touched she CRIED! yupps. i think dawn is just so well GREAT somehow. she and mel are kinda like my inspirations in church. yupps.
think i never regretted going to youth camp. oh well now. new year is just tomorrow. was talkin bout school to jasmine in the toilet. lols. weird i know. but yeah. i can't believe the year past so fast. in a snack its one year. i'm going to be 15. and i think its going to be the change of a lifetime. i'm going to be in upper sec. O's are coming soon. i've got to be older and wiser. and im becoming more independent. (i sound so.. i know -.-) my class is going to have to lead worship on 2nd sundays now. its the time for us to serve God. and i think its time to appreciate everythings God has giving me. gonna write done my new years resolution and my reflection.
reflection:
i've realised i only turned to God when i'm in times of lonliness and when i'm down. but not when everything goes my way. I guess i always needed a gentle nudge to remind me God is always there. and i that God for that. he is not just a phone call away, but always by my side. when i have something, i neglet God. now its time for me to change! (: yupps. i'm going to have a constant reminder of him. God is going to be my top piority.
new year's resolution:
- i'm going to study hard. no more bochap attitude.
- i'm going to remember and use everything i have learnt and use it in my life.
- God is going to my top piority.
- i'm going to step out!
- no more cursing, swearing and bitching of people. that is something i'm going to try very hard not to do.
- learn to be more patient.
- have QT.
- start a personal prayer request, and bible journal. (im going to start counting my blessings.)
i guess thats all. its a pretty long entry. but i just sorted out everything i needed to! (:
