Well after the highs of camp and witnessing what God has done in the camp, I came back all refreshed and full of zest for the Lord.

Then my friend told me our examination results were available online.

Reality crashed down on me.

I didn't do well. I knew I was struggling badly with school. And I sort of knew my results were not going to be ideal, but nevertheless I still felt a sense of helplessness as I stared at the results.

I'm not going to be wishy-washy about my results. I got 2 B+, 1 B, and 2 C+. A Cap of just 3.28. Not enough for a 2nd Lower.

Being ever the jovial and happy-go-lucky kind of person, I know eventually I'll take this in my stride, but perhaps this time, I will smile more not because I know I've got what it takes to do well next semester, but rather I know God is in control.

I hope I haven't dampen the high of everybody after the camp! Press on and rise to God's calling everybody!

Haha. Remember to give me a pat this sunday and encourage me okay? lol. Thanks.

since during the camp, david encouraged us to share our testimonial to glorify God. i've decided to say this out even though i'm not even sure whether its a testimony or not. haha.

anyway. for this year's Camp Rising, many people asked me whether i find this camp fun or fruitful. for me. i just have to say its DIFFERENT. usually. during every year's youth camp. its a time for renewing, a time for the drifted ones to once again get close to God. i'm not excluded of course. i don't deny i went to the camp with a heart of expectancy for something big to happen. but everything has to have 2 hands to clap. we have to play a part in the process. i started off the camp with a broken sandal. *scream* as Jericho can obviously see it. and OCX(thanks for lending me your sandal for the first game,haha) saw it too!. i was thinking to myself. is this another year of unfortunate happenings again?

in case you people have no idea wat i'm talking about. every year, since i was sec 1, something will happen to me. just take for example, there was one year, i caught a fever, no i think for two years i had fever and wasn't allowed to play games. ok its still happening. this year i twisted my ankle in the night games and wasn't allowed to play MOST of the games. in fact i was only allowed to play ONE. haha. but its alright. the ulterior motive of the camp wasn't the games right? haha.

ok that was just the introduction. on tuesday night, when people were asked to move forward for those who haven't experienced the baptism of the holy spirit. i didn't went up of course cause i've experienced it. then again, people who wanted to renew had to go up. or something like that. i stood back. i took another step back. i knew that wasn't me. i knew God was telling me that its time to step up and pray for the people around me. i don't know bout evan and joy but i realised that what's left standing at the back were most of the leaders and us 3. when i prayed for them, i feel the happiness and joy growing in me. i just couldn't tear like others when they feel the touch of God, i feel overwhelmed in joy.

then on wednesday afternoon, this is when i really really felt the presence of God moving in the place. i stood there. looking up to the heavens. lifting my hands. and i don't deny, i was wondering why no one came to pray for me. den i heard God's voice telling me something like, "my dear girl, why are you so concerned about whether others pray for you? you know i love you." den i thought to myself.'what have i been thinking these years? why was i so concerned about whether others pray for me in the camp?' ; at the same moment. i felt a weird feeling of my hands from a worshiping position move to kind of a praying position. i don't know how to explain. its like. my hands weren't really moving, but somehow the "soul" of my hands were moved facing down. i started to feel scared.worried. then God showed me 2 "clips"(haha). one is a group of people.a BIG group of people gathering around one person and praying for him/her. the words were rising to the heavens. the 2nd one was a person praying in a big big big room and many were being slained. i was scared. really scared. i didn't know what was really happening. the music in the room was suddenly gone. i couldn't hear anything else in that moment. i couldn't move, i didn't dare to move anyway.hence i could do nothing but pray.

den gail came to me and told me something. which im not typing here. ask me if you wanna know. HAHA. ok i don't know if i would say if you ask me. AHAH. i'd probably laugh and laugh. ermm nvm. hah. anyway what she said was parallel to what was happening to me at the very moment. den it struck me that God wanted me to bless others instead of waiting for others to bless me. mind you, for many years, i've always tot to myself, why no one wanted to pray for me during the camp. it always ended up that when the ministering time was about to end. THEN, someone would pray for me. there was even a year when i asked God, "God, did you left me out? did you forgot me? i'm here! can you see me?" i remembered that clearly cause i felt forgotten. but now, i know why. after gail prayed. den david asked eliz to ask me to the front. and ALSO told me something. den Jason came to also tell me something. i don't noe how to explain but suddenly everything just tally and fit properly. hard to tell here.

anyway. camp rising was just different. a meaningful one for me. i don't know but usually in every camp and every ministering session, in the previous camps, i'll cry and cry to the touch of God. but this year, and last year, God's gentleness really brought me to my next level. i feel the joy in me that make me smile as i pray. i had the same experience last year when kevin prayed for me. after the session, last year, many asked me why i kept smiling when kevin was praying for me. all i could say now was that God filled me with joy that make me cant stop smiling. thank God for this camp. it reassured my faith in him once again. :D:D:D

LOVE YOU GOD. and jericho! haha. oh yah. thanks to mr joel chin for being such a great Great GREAT group leader!!! E-SWORD FOR CHRIST!!!

Season Begins...!

I hope that all of you will have a great time at youth camp this year! (^.^) We're proud to have Joel and Jonathan stepping up as group leaders this year, and I hope that both of you will have lots of fun leading your own groups! It will be another memorable camp I'm sure, and I pray that all of you will receive a touch from God! =)

A post from the Island of Java

Hello from Jakarta TILES! (^.^) Here's just a short post because I need to get back to work after this. In case you didn't know, Jakarta is located on the island of Java, one of Indonesia's biggest 'islands'. Its been a pretty good experience so far apart from the bad stomach that I had yesterday. Its an interesting city, more crowded with people than Singapore and where roads are filled with motorcycles. The accomodation is great, even though its a local hotel. I think its rated 4-stars. The food is spicier as expected, and a whole lot cheaper than in Singapore. About 50% perhaps? I've spent only a few dollars in fact because almost everything is paid for by the client. Breakfast is the buffet spread at the hotel, lunch is usually bought and delivered to the office for us, and dinner is on our own but paid for by them =p I think I'm getting fat, hahaha =O

I've been quite busy with work over here, but it has certainly been an invaluable experience working in a foreign land. 6 days more to go and I'll be home! =) I haven't been able to transfer the pics to my lappie, so I'll most likely upload the pics when I'm back. Please keep me and my 3 colleagues in prayer; for continued safety and good health. Exams are over for most of ya, hope you'll enjoy your holidays lots!!! =)

We're knocking off at 3pm (Jakarta time), and we'll be off to rest and relax for the weekend! =) That's 40mins away... counting down already! haha. Have a great time in church tomorrow and see all of you again soon! Take care and God Bless!
