RAW! (15-18th Dec)

hmm this youth camp really was unexpectedly different from other camps so far. with all the bk timah treks and field cooking and no station games played. style is different but i think it was fun, especially if they hadn't done such stuff over so many times like i did. haha. but i still learnt that twigs are very gd for cooking!

somehow God just moved in quite a different way. there was the usual slaining and praying for each other and stuff, but the difference is just the way that God has changed our lives. very practical and down to earth stuff, i didnt even feel any hype or such after the camp ended. just the feeling of peace and determination. 

ps daniel, though he does move in the Spirit and things like prophecies took place and all that, but he also really in that sense allowed the ball to be in our court. one service he simply shared about listening to the still small voice of God and spending time on God's word. i think it really impressed me how important the word of God is for our growth as a christian and for listening to God. and how ps daniel spent so much time staying in his room reading the bible. its true, God's Word must still be the final point of authority and teaching and it is sufficient for us in our walk if we want to be successful. also the breaking of the lightsticks, when i felt that its so difficult to allow the fears that i've been holding on to go just like that. kinda strange, but its just because i dont know what the future is and what God wants to do for me in my future. i really wanted to hear from God what He wants me to do in the future, but i'll allow Him to speak to me in His time.

in this camp i somehow got to experience the new stage that i feel God is bringing me to. not really 'receiving' during altar calls but knowing God is there. and somehow just knowing what God is speaking to me, even while praying for ppl at the altar. and like during worship time just learning to sing and dance and shout even though i may feel that i'm not really meaning it from my heart. i talked to joash about it, and he told me that he felt that it's about faith, that God is wanting to give me certain stuff but i need to learn to receive it by faith. so yup.
