THE WEEKEND - YOUTH CAMP 2006 - FIRST LOVE

It's finally time for me to get down to some serious reflections and afterthoughts abt the weekend that just passed.

It was indeed a blessed time and a privilege for me to gather with the body of christ in the youth congregation this dec to spend time with the Lord. No distractions, just in the secluded land of Sentosa. This is my 3rd time there, but each time i go there, it feels different. Each yr i thank God for providing the campsites for us, because there are thousand and one organizations planning camps during this period.

Proud of the 9-pple camp com this yr, they did a really fantastic job. It's their willingness to serve, as simple as that, and God simply used them. This yr's camp was not a "start" or "end" to anything...but i guess it's part of the process that the Lord has been bringing me thru this year. FIRST LOVE - Something simple but yet profound, because who can say that they fully understand the measure of God's Love? Even for myself, i began piecing together the pieces of jigsaw that the Lord placed in my heart.

i really thank God for my camp group, i guess each member was handpicked, and i've been blessed by everyone of them. The sessions were refreshing, i thank God that He ministered to me in a very different way as the previous years. I thank God for the presence of some pple in the camp, these pple really made the camp very different also for me personally....

Thank God that we had the chance to celebrate Shirl's bdae during the 2nd night...haha, too bad that i interrupted the worship session, but i wasn't gg to allow her to leave without the birthday song. Birthday cake compliments of Mel and myself. =)

This yr, the m'kkies are much more sedated than before. Most of us slept earlier than we would as compared to the last few yrs. i guess we're getting old....Nevertheless, we dun have many more yrs to attend camp. i guess it was really by God's divine strength that i could bring myself to rise up to that "madness" during the camp...."if u know what i mean..." Thank God for every opportunity spent with His pple, because that's where the Lord can use us to be a blessing and also a chance for us to bring honour and glory to His name.

One of the more meaningful time i had over the past few days was the day that we broke camp. Spent some time with the m'kk girls. It's been a long time. Thank God for everything, i guess, He knew that friendships had to be restored. Unity can be found in times where there is chaos. And right now, there's chaos somewhere, but when the pple of God stand together, we believe that we can overcome all things with the Lord!

Today, went to watch "The Holiday" with Shirl, been a long time since i caught a show, the last show was free. Thank God for the time spent. Every chance is a privilege.

God, u know better, pls do something, we believe u can turn the hardest heart of stone into a heart of flesh....we can only depend on You and You alone, otherwise we'll be trying "till the cows come home".
