finally back from the 3 days powerhouse camp.
however not much feelings in it, maybe there's a breakthrough but, just cant felt it. be true to it, felt nothing except tired. maybe my brain is not functioning well lol. okay, the camp is enjoyable and yup, just that i dun have the strength to continue only. why?
because i dun think i have sufficient rest during my normal days, haha. =)
and alamak!
i forget to give thanks to God's Grace and Chris for the blessings! =(
first day was raining the whole day!
after briefing, we are giving instructions to go according to cell level to stay with in tent, we were given 4 tents while others have one or two only. thanks to Chris. when we are pitching it's also raining but not really that strong. thanks to God. and yup after we pitched finished all the 4 tents, we are being gathered, and soon the rain became stronger. all were being called to go into tent. thanks to Chris,w e have only used up 3 tents and there's one more spare! while all were lying comfortably in the tent, Hui Mun, Guo Wei, Terrence and me were all worshipping. yes, strong presence of Holy Spirit was within the tent. maybe our voices not that good, but we are worshipping God with our hearts and soon we went into prayers, led by Guo Wei. prayers and worshipping God makes time passes slowly but it was being well spent. after all prayers and worshipping, the weather makes us tired and bored out, but inside all our hearts we are praying that the rain will stop. and we made our way to Touch Centre. i wore a jacket and made my way there. of course we have our pants and everything wet, only our bibles are well protected, slightly wet. praise God! =) it was kinda long because everything was dragged and nothing much is done. the most sad thing is at night we have our supper our camp site. when all thought that we can sleep in our tents, tents were already leaking lol, but by God's Grace, ours are not. there's a lot of things that God has given to me, and for now i just realized. hope it's not too late, and i repent. =)
everything was being transferred to blk 80, the one oppsite chapel. a night is spent there, but A-pa, committee and facilitators are not spared for early nights. i think it's all about training one's endurance and perseverance.
what is presented is just only surface,
but the heart behind all of these are blessing us. =)
second day! no rain! yeah! hallelujah!
and we went for 7000 challenge!
first, vertical challenge! everyone are supposed to climb a flight of stairs. and thanks to God, none fainted during the process, even though we have late night the previous day. everyone was super high to climb, and even though i slept only 4 hours, i can just the Lord's joy is so strong within not only me, but within everyone. guess what?
total of 10061 storeys was being climb all of us! hurray!
nothing is impossible with God. =)
second challenge! ball pass!
was it tough?
no.
was it fun?
quite.
was it meaningful?
yes.
what i understand from this game, perseverance in the long run of Christian walk: with Unity in Christ, there's nothing cannot make it. also it's by God's Grace and our faith. certainly there's a burning desire within our team member's hearts that we will get the most number but of course we didnt get the most number. out of all things, coordination is the most important, and believing that you can make it.
people will often said they cant even settle their personal problems, how to care for others?
waves in seas are like obstacles we faced in our everyday's lives. it's always coming. not only coming everyday, but also affecting us in all ways. however did you realise that, even if you have problems, when you learnt to help others, you got a solution for yourself? maybe it's not about what you have currently but it's about your attitude. =) the amount we run is nothing, compared to His Love.
and guess how many times we have passed the ball?
11931 ball passes! within 30 minutes...by we newbies! =D
3rd challenge! mud run!
how do you feel about running in mud with barefoot? disgusting?
change you mindset! it's so cooling and fun! haha! poor Lynette got a lot of mud prints on her back of white shirt. =D
and we intended to sabotage Joy after everything.
what's our challenge? 7000m?
i gradually felt that the 7000m challenge was actually a disguise of one thing, Love for the whole world, the Unity within the Body of Christ. these are actually what is built out at the end of our whole run.
everyone knows that the distance of 7000m cannot make it, but in the end 16020m is being run either barefooted or slippers on by we, 100 plus of people.
lots of fun and we are tired, especially the late night till 4am with cluedo.
the ministry that Ps Adrian gone through at the second night, i will never forget. the time when we are to go to our leader, our dad, to give thanks, most of us cried, i am included. =).
he suffered rejections, he blessed us and lots more are done throughout the whole year. very grateful about that, even though he is tired, fatigue and lots more, he is just simply trusting God. and i wondered can i do that? and will i wished to do?
a good example of christian...hmmm
*hint hint, must follow!* =D
a role model is set before us, and thus most of us will be doing the same when we have our own spiritual children.
a lot to share lol.
~What is real Love?~
