finally back from 8 long days of camps.
my eye bags were so bad that at least 5 people asked if i got hit in the eye during xsy.
this year's student camp was once again full of excitement, emotions and realisations. its just so amazing how time flies and this is my 4th student camp im attending and 3rd im serving in. the image of how i came to know christ and how i came to this church flashes vividly as i stood in the midst of LOSTCITY in the main sanctuary. theres this strange feeling of familiarity as i sang some of the older worship songs and i just can't stop thanking God for my salvation.
during one of the prayer slots, danny shared something that i thought was pretty interesting. i was commenting about how inadequate i felt cos this is only my 2nd time as a group leader and i felt that i lack a lot to give to my members im comparison to those who have been group leaders for like the longest time ever(like danny himself). But an important fact is that everytime we decide to serve in this camp, it is because we really want to do God's work, not because we like it and we want to do it well. and so every student camp should be a learning experience for us and every year should be a brand new service as we walk alongside God and His people, and as He reveals Himself to us more and more. and this means that you can be a group leader for like the
nth year but your next year would always be a new learning journey. i felt that these words were really encouraging, especially towards those who are weary from serving numerous years in student camp.
its also so amazing that in such a small little church like ours, God's work is powerfully manifested in His people. its so interesting to see how different brothers and sisters explore different service areas, how they take leaps of faith and challenge themselves in their service, how we encourage each other and pray for each other, how we bonded with each other; its just so heartwarming that we are one family in Christ.
ok lets go back to ssc camp.
i have nothing much to say. not that its that bad. i just dont have anything to say about it. i guess there's this struggle that i actually miss it. something apparently contradiciting to what i thought i would feel.
okay now i need my 14 hours of sleep to get my eyes back in shape!
8:40 PM
blessed.
