Experiences and Lessons Learnt...
Wow... Finally back on track for updated...
A few days had passed and lots of things had been coming up.
Tired as I might be but yet, I was amazed yet wondering why things happened the ways it happened...
Thanks God for the SOZO camp. The workshop was wonderful, and I learned a lot from Gabriel. It was fun, I was in John Tan's team to help him took care of the people. They were new yet I glad I got to know some of the youths better. I only saw some of them during make-up CG long time ago and never got a chance to get to know them better, and the worst part came when I forget a girl's name no matter how many times she told me... But in the end, I might as well remembered her Chinese name, it was easier and more cute.
But too bad, every good meeting and team got to separate in the end. As we continued with the night session and with more CGs joining us, we got to sit with our own CG and waiting for them to finalise the night camp groupings.
Yet, I thanks God that I obeyed His words. A few days before the camp, even during the afternoon workshop, I was nervous beyond words. I was supposed to share my testimony but at that point, I was afraid for a moment. In the past, in 2 of the zone meetings, I shared about my testimony before but this was the first time I ever shared about my whole life and how God changed me. During the time I submitted my testimony to Michelle, I was quite afraid as it was the first time I ever gonna told everyone about my life and someone got to proof read it. I remembered as Michelle showed me the copy that she edited for me, I was so touched, because the last half of the page, she left it unedited and as we read it, I was reminded of the times when I was being pushed to the end and confronted the truths of my life and my whole fears. And Cliff again and again targeted the area when I feared the most, Gabriel kept reminding me of what I striking for during Bible Study and Hui Jun forced me to come to the end of my own being and see what God placed in my life. I was amazed beyond words.
Before I went up the stage, I was unsure of what to do. I was nervous and afriad that I will cry when I shared it, yet God is good. Halfway through the sharing, I felt the presence of God burning like consuming fire behind me and He stretched His hands as usual, and just when I nearly cried, He touched me and I got hold of my emotions. Cindy was there accompanied me and I thanks God for her presence as one thing I never shared was she was the one that followed up on me when I first came to church after my classmate invited me. My classmate left church shortly after I came back and I thanks God for the 2nd time I came back, the move of the Holy Spirit convicted me of His existence and I desired to know Him...
And the night went on pretty well. The camp started as usual and thanks Venus they all for finding food for me as I skipped meals to prepare my heart for the testimony and was having slight gastric pain but they helped me to get food and O had a fun time with Kenneth, Guang Xiang, JY, Martin, Venus and Pearly as we heard lame and gross jokes. =.="
The next morning was even more lame. We were so tired and Venus and I were the only 2 persons that catch an hour sleep before the start of the morning session.
Guang Xiang and I turned into the Techno team and we were dancing to the techno version of "Our God is an Awesome God." And Kenneth got the idea of asking the camp people to dance techno and JY, Venus, Kenneth and I were supposed to think of moves for them to follow. Basically, they suffered through the fun torturing of us... And lack of sleep do give us crazy idea... Until now, I still suffered a little bit side effect. =P
But then, after the whole camp, I chosed to go home to catch some sleep before Yong Xiu's birthday. In the end, only I made it. But God don't left us to be alone. Shockingly, I met Abel as he board the lrt. It was the first time since our last combined CG that we really chatted. The journey passed by very fast as we chatted and so glad to talk to him after such a long time. Got to know about his Police Academy life and got to share with him what going on in the zone. It was funny at some points as we discovered funny stuffs and he liked to tease my clone.
But at least, beside JY who was not around that time, Abel is another person who lived near my house area and I got accompany to go back home... Not bad and still can catch up our friendship...
And I enjoyed the experiences these few days. It didn't come very easy but God is good and at the same time, I can't deny that there were bad things happened like I met some people who make me feel mur but then, I grateful for knowing people who I can chat with and one thing that both Abel and I agreed was people might know us because we were on stage and for Abel's case, he was on stage with 20,000 people saw him singing... But then, some time, we really need to get to know people better as friends and I glad that Su Ee darling want to know him as friend.
Maybe see next time can catch Abel if he sing for the next meeting... Haha... For this meeting, he missed my testimony and asked me to share again but then I was lazy and only gave him an outline of what I shared. And the next time we catch up again, maybe can ask Su Ee along...
Thanks God for a wonderful time! =]
