i decided to rewrite my camp experience and look at it from another angle.
Speedlight Camp 2004 - Where's my King?? [[edited 7th dec 2004]]
Manasseh totally rawks!!!!!
my goodness, i'm so thankful to be in this tribe. they made me feel so part of the tribe.. so part of spdlight.
and God blessed me with two super nice roommates... pris and isabel!
on the first day... i met nicholas and mandy. nicholas was so kind! the footed the taxi fare. lol. and we ate lunch with some ppl.. then my tribe shared a bus with two other tribes. zebulun and judea. argh. it was a great disaster. i dun wnt to eleborate. hah. we reached NUS raffles hall and then got camp briefing and blah. service was great.. bro sam preached. the pnw was superr..
then at night got this stock market game. oh manx... i did badly. haha... what royston was looking for in the 'winner' was... the spiritual diciplines behind the board and the fruits of the spirit in front. who cares about worldy possesions, they'll all be worthless one day.
then the 2nd day... devotion talked about 'saint or sinner'. and how we glorify God. then was pnw, and this video 'transfromation'. it's about revival in uganda, africa. that particular country is deep in satanic worship... deep in sin.. and christians were persecuted, not allowed to worship freely...the crime rate was high... and blah. BUT, God came cuz he was invited. and so the country was delivered. the people threw out all their satanic music cds and stuff that were not glorifying to God. they had a revival. after the video, Pacer eleborated abit more. like... out of the average 42 (if i din rmb wrongly) ppl who died, 38 ppl are non believers. only that mere 4 are christians. i was like...*pengz*
then we had this treasure hunt game. it was to find out where's our King. hah... we ran ard the whole campus and blah... manasseh got the 2nd! hehe... the 'prize' was to sabo pacer, weixiong and john. lol. and so... where's our King? it's in US... =)
at night.. the pnw was really solid. i love pnw during camp. it's like you can really cry to him. let evt out to him. it's totally a experience as if no one is watching. then joel talked about forgiveness. it really pounded my heart. my past thinking was.. 'if they dun forgive me, why shud i forgive them? after all, they were the ones starting this whole stupid thing.' but after the sermon, i responded to the altar call. i knew i urgently needed to let go. it was one of my mountains.. and i needed to get rid of it. after the altar call was pnw again! wheee... =D
the 3rd day.. devotion was great. pris and leck had us to write what was hindering us in our walk with God on this heart shape paper.. then we prayed and then we teared to hearts. it was an act like... to let go.
then we had pnw and watched another video. God chasers! this one really touched my heart.
the preacher was this guy called Tommy Tenney.
seems that we are always waiting on the Lord. doesn't it occur to you that the Lord has been waiting like... forever for us. and he refered our worship as 'refrigerator art' you know... scribbles made by children which, obviously arent perfect. God collects them. he collects our prayers.. our tears.. our worship. he isn't looking for perfection. and when angels are worshipping him... it's perfect praise and worship. but when he hears sth from below... from us, he says "wait a minute! i hear sth!" and he will desperately grab some vessels...gets down from he's throne and goes to that small place where ppl are worshipping him. he seeks true worshippers. it really doesnt matter whether the instrument is a plain guitar or even acapella. he'll come when you really worship him... our prayers doesnt haf to be perfect either. he doesn't mind imperfect prayers, cuz he loves us.
then was games. indoor ones, cuz it was raining. haha... the game was this game called 'seasons of life' each tribe had to eat 2 watermelons to win. we had one fork and one spoon. and we had to open the watermelons with that! b4 we eat, each tribe had to share a cup of stuff. stuff like pi pa gao... fresh pure lemonade... chilli sauce coffee and evt mixed tog. kin onn actually broke a melon and we had erh... 2.5 melons to finish. lol. but we still won anyways. budden it's not the pt of winning lah. it was so noisy lor! everyone shouting for their tribes. team spirit. heh..
night pnw was as solid as ever. then pacer preached about the joshua generation. he asked every1 who wnts to be like joshua to raise their hand. i guess i was like... 'dun wnt lah' fighting with my spirit... but in the end i raised my hand. and so we prayed. and somemore pnw. heh..
then was the finale night!!!!! hehe... all the performances were so funny. i was the 'cam girl' in our skit. and we won the best tribe performance!! wheee... heehee... =D
the last day.
picture taking...testimonials...i gave one. and come to think of it..i kinda 'regretted'. dun wnt to eleborate oso. we signed on our flag and tore in into two pieces cuz there wasnt time. one peice for LET and one for LEW. no one wanted to leave but.. ah well... we had to leave the place mah. it was like.. who's ready to board the bus then board lah. when we reached LET, every1 dumped their bags and headed for the vending machine. it was like great big mess lah. lol. dad fetched me home and blah. was so bombed!! slept like... alot of hours. hahaha... =))))
Life is so RANDOM.
