Right. I've only just cane back on the 11th. And now, I'll be flying off today on the 12th dec to phuket. Packed. Rushed. So I dun have much time to write down my reflections in detail here. So below is jus an entry i written on my diary. so thought of just writing it here.

But I must say that I really enjoyed this camp. Not only do I get to make new frens and know my future co-workers (if we all stay on), the messages spoken across touched my heart deeply and i made a re-commitment to God again. Thanks for the climax on the 3rd night. Thanks worship team for creating that atmosphere. I went forward to ask for prayers and I was so close to tears. Seriously. My tears welled up and I really wanted to let the tears flow. But I controlled and told myself no because I want to be conscious of wad I am thinking and hearing clearly what the pastor is praying for me. Crying at the altar in these times is definitely good; an expression but perhaps not good for me now.

Okay. So here it is:

Thank you God for the camp! Thank you God for:

1. the friendships forged. Especially with Benjamins, Daniel, Samuel, Jeremy, Brenda, Rebekah, Jonadab, Deborah, Rachel, Lydia.... bowling session was great!
2. learning about youth ministry and the plans
3. the good sermons that taught me much:
4. time to do reflections every night
5. sharing today ending off with Deut 6:5-6 (i think it'll be my trademark frm now onwards)
6. pastors that put in effort to make this camp possible
7. pastor edwin lam, bobby, KC, eric
8. worship team that plays faithfully
9. safety and protection
10. fun games
11. good health
12. speaking to me in this camp--telling me once again and putting my perspective back into the right place. That is God and God's love tha tI should anchor myself on and be in the center of my life

As for the good sermons, here's some key things that pops out:

1. willing to be developed
2. conscious in obeying God
3. God's love at the center of my heart and life
4. make the most use of your time by exchanging it for something that is valuable
5. strong foundation
6. pray about all things; not "yes" all the time
7. 3Es: Effective, Efficient, Excellent

That's all. Take care all. I'll be off for my phuket trip today till next mon, 15 dec!
