I would say this was one of my best camps ever. We did nothing particularly spectacular, in fact it was a very restful camp. But it was in this camp I experience His touch so real.
The night before the camp, I receive a news that left me shattered. I've not felt this way for a year and now the feelings are back. I had my assignment still left to complete and my bag left unpacked. In these moments, all I want to do was not to do any of these but I knew I had to. Tears just stream down my face. I knew too I had to get to bed that night.
I sign up to this camp with no expectation but I went with one. It was for God to give me an answer to the situation. I didn't share to anyone about the matter because I know that my answer lies not in talking about it. During the games outing, someone I just got know asked me again what my expectations were. My answer was simply to receive. I did not ask God for new revelation but rather to give me an answer through Pastor's preaching.
The first three days I still didn't have the answer. There was no clarity.
On the last night, I felt impressed to ask Pastor about what he thinks about it. I knew I had to follow the life in me but he was on stage before the final praise & worship starts. Surprisingly, he walked down and I took the opportunity to ask him. What he told me was what I thought I should do. He said it was a confirmation. I got the answer that night. He prayed for me thereafter. The life I sense for the steps to take was the same I had for some decisions I had made. There's finally a clarity to it. I felt victory that night and every feeling of condemnation left me.
I was sharing with Coach Jo-Ann after that about what I should do and what I feel the Lord is saying. As I was sharing, the word faith and purpose came alive to my spirit. She shared to me her portion too of what the Lord is showing her. Much of what was said was confirmation to both of us.
For it to happen the night just before the camp I believe was for a purpose. If it came after the camp, I would not have the strength and clarity to handle it. Just like how Esther was made queen for such a time as that to save the Jews. God has it all planned.
This camp was awesome because of the people. The caregroup grew so much closer. Thank God for Pastor Benjamin who has been a great blessing into my life. Love you Pastor and Pauline.
Not forgetting the kids =) As you can see, most of the pictures is about them haha.. Manage to carry Zoe away from her mum at the final day after an hour of warm up! It's a great joy to know when the kids are comfortable with you when they open their arms to be receive by you =)
Here's a picture we both love :) Mum said she seldom smile directly at camera. Melts me to see her in this picture. Heh..
Playing with the Kung Fu props. "Funny face..."
Self-explanatory haha~
I walked out of the house with uncertainty, but I walked in with clarity and joy beholding a piano in my house! Unbelievable. I really think that God really wants me to brush up on my piano skills. Heh- I understand from the maid this afternoon that my landlord got it as a gift from someone. Indeed, all your household will be bless because of you =D
