back from Bible Camp '09...

It has been a fantastic camp! Really good and God is good! :) I had a great time praising and worshipping God, listening to his Word, seeking Him, praying, fellowshipping with my Brothers and Sisters-in-Christ and having loads of fun too! :) Although I was sick from day 2 onwards... I slept thru most of my afternoons... it was probably a very good time of rest as well! :)

Camps are fantastic because you get to know more people, interact with people whom you seldom do and do things together. So in this camp, I got to talk to some people whom I don't usually do. Manage to interact with some of the secell boys and Joy, also, it was the first time I talked to Elyna. I actually felt some kind of prompting to talk to her. Hope she would join us for the youth activities and to see her serving God in a greater capacity! :) I also wanted to talk to Mas <-- I think that is how her name is spelt. Cause I felt SO TOUCHED by her simple faith in knowing God and her longing to know God more. Although I didn't have a conversation with her, I prayed for her. :) (I stole Gail's "customer" in doing that... Haha...) And the "awkward" thing was, I started tearing when I prayed for her! I had to control man... Usually, its the other way round, someone prays for you, you get touched and you cry? But for me, I prayed for someone and the very instance I began, I cried! But I was trying my best to control, so... I wasn't sobbing!

If there are 2 things that I have to take back from the camp with me, it would be simple faith and purity. Another incident when I had tears flowing non-stop was when the kids went up the stage on the last day of camp to do a dance item. I really couldn't take it... I cheered like as though I was one of their parent. What I saw was purity and sincerity from the kids. It was a lovely and beautiful sight that got me really tearing. I felt really touched. :)

The speaker of the camp, Pastor Mark Benard also preached interesting and fantastic messages. I would definitely want an attitude like Joseph! A good attitude towards God, the people around me and life :)

I am really glad I decided to go for this year's camp after my last camp 4 years back? :) Praise the Lord and thank God! :)
