[God's design]

Well, today's msg was good. Talked about evangelism. And it really brought to mind the evangelistic opportunities that I had recently. Totally fills me with gratefulness!

One statement that my pastor said was "The most important thing to know is that the most contagious Christians are those who have learned to work within the design God has given them".

And I really wanna give God all the glory for what He has worked and done in my life. With the gift of hospitality, I got closer to my freshies in both camps--crusade and hall. I like to host ppl. To bring them to my hse, show them arnd school, explain stuffs to them, care abt their welfare...I believe it's God-given. I've discovered this when I'm young and it's still very much active now.

And it was these that my freshies say I am. When I was the top 3 fav seniors. That I always ask if they are alright, tell them abt school, talk to them etc. And I give God all the glory! Not just the gift of hospitality but the observant eye too! I believed it helped! =) I was really shocked when I heard the news and was very surprised. But it warms my heart tremendously!

After that though, it did give me some pressure to meet the kinda expectations they have on me. But as days went by, and my stress level increase cos of my city hunt prog tat i'm in charge of, i just decided to let it go. To let God take control and be in me. To let Him be and seen through me. I just gotta be myself. And tat's wad i did. Though I spend less time with my grp cos I was station masters and all, but with whatever time I can have and in whatever way, I'll be there! =)

Well, before I left for hall camp, I was quite reluctant to go. After having such a good, refreshing and meaningful crusade camp, I didn't wanna go to something secular. But I still had to cos of the prog I was in charge of. And so, before I left, I knew I had to change my mindset. Glad I cld talk to huang peng abt it and he encouraged me. And so, I wrote on my FB to pray for eyes to see opportunities (God gives me).

And He really did! I had a chance to share the gospel on the 1st day! And another chance to encourage my brother-in-Christ. And lastly, to use my entire time and life there during the camp to impact my freshies and peers! Wow. I muz say that it totally wows me! Esp the 1st day one! I didn't expect it to happen so fast! But I thank God for such a chance and for me to recognise it, say a quick prayer asking for guidance and make the best out of it! I thank God for such opportunity to talk and testify about Him! =)

It just goes to show: When you pray, mean it. When you pray, expect it. When you ask, He will give. When you ask, He can work as soon as possible. So be careful of what you ask for. And anticipate miracles. Let Him work through you and lay back to see the wonders of His hands!

How beautiful! Thank you God!

[camps]

Well, out of the 3 camps that I've attended over the past 3 weeks--SMC, crusade and hall, I would say that I enjoyed the crusade camp the best. It was short but I had a great and meaningful time with my group. 3 freshies and 3 seniors. Got to know the snrs better and encourage and pray for my freshies. and I think it's nice and sweet cos of the special bond we have. The sweet fellowship that we have. And the knowledge that we are never far from each other and the authenticity we have with each other. The sharings and reflections are deep and bond us closer. I pray that this brotherly love will never be broken and we'll always rmb this! =)

Hall camp did have it's fair share of fun and good memories. It was quite an experience to be in the main committee. And it sure is tough and tiring. I have to be station master for every segment of the prog! And planning for city hunt was quite a something. At least it went as planned and estimated on the day itself. But I tell you, i was so super stress up the few nights before! Planning it, doing changes, preparing this and that. Wah. Tired man! Totally drained. Plus, the pressure of spending time with my og and calling back home was there. All in all, it was a good experience.

I enjoyed myself talking to the freshies. Especailly Pearl and Feline whom I can clique well with. They are very nice people! Cheerful and friendly. My age too! So I guess that's why we can clique tgt. And they keep saying I look and act like their senior in sec school. Lol. I managed to talk to other girls and guys too! :)

I like talking to my SP too! Had such great conversations with him! Glad he's english-speaking. I guess that's why we can clique well. There's just like so many things to talk about, to discover abt each other, to share and to chat. ha. I guess it's a never ending journey of finding out! But there sure is a difference being blindfolded and not. Not blindfolded allows me to talk more fluently and comfortably! :) And through this, I also learn to talk less. Must talk less and stop asking so many qns so he can ask. Lol. Keep in touch, SP!

My city hunt prog went well. Million thanks to my partners Lih hern, Terence and Bing Sheng. They have been a great help to me in brainstorming, advising and discussing things. And last minute changes but still good and going. It hit right on the dot. Really glad about it! =)

Well, I won't be staying in hall coming academic year though I've been involved in hall camp. I do feel sad in one way cos I'll miss this bunch of frens. But I also think it's a good thing cos I think I'll still feel the stress and the pressure. Esp the pressure to be social secretary. If I really do take up that post, then I wld certainly be in trouble. I would then have hall, crusade, church, family. So I'm glad that hall is not part of the pic now. My eyes are more focused now. And on the right stuffs.

Okay. I'll still miss my hall peeps. Will pop by once in a while! And I totally love the new room! =) Cheers!
