Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." - Isaiah 30:21
Isaiah asked and received a verse from Isaiah =)
so...what's the way again? broad-based, something you might not expect. not one-dimensional, multi-faceted....haha...i still don't know! i'll wait for the voice from behind =)
Thanks Ps Mark B - a great guy with a pastor's heart and jesse the cool son, surfer dude with the beach house!!!
anyway must say that this year's camp was quite different from last year. i think i really enjoyed the morning devotions - kudos to Ps Mark! and of course to our camp commandant - mr wong!
It was well-thought through and quite challenging, but thank God for a good grp where everyone was contributing. and thanks to the kind souls - lichang, roanna, diya - for leading every morning!
then there was the attack of the "killer moths" haha....ocx made me a moth murderer...well we try to peacefully encourage them out of the open windows but they refused! moths - 0; isaiah - 5!
i thank God for all the words spoken to everyone and those youths who responded to the call. it was wonderful to see that and for some of the guys, i could really feel the Father's love for them as His Words were given =)
my only complaint...being singaporean is the food....aha...first day they gave teh tarik...i thought we were off to a good start! BUT!!!! it was not to BE! arrgh!
and for some reason, this year i was especially tired...getting old?? got a headache since the 3rd day and it still hasn't gone off!
to end..family camps are important. sometimes young people prefer to have their own space, adults prefer their own style of things...yet coming together like this even if it's only for a week a year is powerful. one thing to remember from the morning devotions - society and particularly the family is falling apart. more and more people that come into the church will likely come from incomplete families....having other families as examples and families that open themselves to newcomers is a powerful testimony to the healing and restoring power of God. The strength of the church is in the depth and strength of its relationships - a family that also happens to be an army.
nothing transforms more than the Love of God freely given - and we've been given...let's give =)
