HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!!
Okie, so many things to blog about, but so little time!!! So, instead of doing projects, i shall blog now, MUAHAHA..:D Ok...I'll start with Inside Out camp (record no. of 75 campers!):
Friday:
After school choinged to Vivo (thanks dad for sending me, haha) and saw the dark angry clouds, met the familiar faces of camp comm and Highlifers, cheered up instantly:D Usual crazy camp comm nonsense, wad with Shawn trying to murder me with some sort of sword, lol!! Prayed against the dark angry clouds! whoo! Colour puzzle started. Crazy highlifers lugging lugguage all over Sentosa! Whoo! The rain held back! Yay! Colour puzzle was fun man. Back to camp site. Beach sub comm started to prepare beach games. We prayed against the stormy clouds again, looked super heavy. Started drizzling as we went down to prepare. But something inside of me told me that God will do something about it. Beach comm marched down to the beach in faith. Game started. Great fun! Chye Aik joined in! He was really sporting! interesting veggies flying in the air, fantasic forfeits...HIGHLIFERS CAN DO MUA ZI!!! WHOO!!! ( Btw Highlifers are from 17-20 plus in age)Highlifers, we rock! haha...THE SUN CAME OUT!!! Camp comm was stunned. In the end, God even put a sunset there!!! Beach comm started jumping around and praising God after games. haha...dunno who said.." God ate up the clouds!!" ..haha..so much for the "this is a lightning warning from 4:50pm to 5:15pm. Please stay out of the water. " before games started. really proves that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD:) After that was service. Then camp comm and leaders planned for Pilgrim's progress for next day. Realised location was NOT GOOD. Last minute decided to change location. Planned till everybody were like zombies. super funny!! Got some sleep:)
Saturday:
Workshop in Morn and early afternoon. Real good stuff man..to deal with the insides...Went with next beach comm to prepare games. Again sky looked super dark. Last minute changes: from playing inside to playing the ultra board game outside on beach and also other changes. A few heads cracking *crack crack* to think up of more stuff to fit new plans. Fun though, haha. Prayed against rain. Went down to the beach. Started to pour. Played at Emerald Pavillion. Rain was a blessing in disguise. Made highlifers run out in the rain and do the challenges. WOW.Never say Highlifers so enthu. Even the girls ran out and played. Everybody wet and happy. ahaha...all that kissing trees and burying ppl...SO FUNNN!!! " IM A PAPAYA TREE!!!" haha...God proved that His way is best..we say no rain is good. God tells us with heavy rain, its even better:) Went back, prepared for Pilgrims progress. Wow...was stationed along the trail to direct ppl. Had lots of time to pray and reflect. Cool...went through it in the end too..AWESOME...Personally the cross and the Hell station were the best...Really felt God's presence...Found out later some ppl cried at the stations, many were touched..God can still do miracles even though it was a last minute shift of trail as long as He's with us..:)
Sunday:
Workshops, prep for talent night, workshops. (good stuff man, learnt alot of new things from the workshops).Talent night was good, everybody really put in alot of effort in preparing. MC was super funny...hahahaha..AND THEN NIGHT SERVICE. AKA POWER SERVICE. WHoo!!! God's rain just fell...and fell..and POURED on the Highlifers. Amazing..ppl praying, ppl crying, etc etc...ppl falling...God's presence so strong...Fellowship going on...awesome time...Chye Aik prayed over me...that i will not hold back God's word that He puts in me...thats like super true..i dont mind sharing with cell members etc, comes to leaders im scared....I obeyed..started to pray for someone...God used me, a nobody, to touch someone else..amazing..God you never cease to amaze me...when i least expect it...:) Later i realised He was fufilling His promise to me before camp..."I have given you power in your hands..use that power...You have been given my authority..." that happened in the MRT..haha will explain one day about that when i have time..
Monday:
Testimony time..AMAZING. Super God-led. My goodness, right from the start to the end, God reveals Himself to us. But wad is shared i cannot say here, only the Highlife family knows:) Awards. Again God-led. Esp one of the prizes....super obvious its God and not us leading this whole camp..break camp. Everybody goes cam whoring. haha..fun fun.
In short, this camp was made possible because of one person: JESUS. Without Him and without His spirit on us, we wouldnt have carried out such a good camp. A super God-led camp. I pray that this will be the start of many many more God-led and crazy Highlife camps to come:) HIGHLIFERS YOU GUYS ROCK!!!:D:D:D
After camp is...projects! okie, nothing to say bout projects, lol. and preparing presents. I realised something...sometimes i feel lonely...but then as i prepare the presents i realise how many good frens i have and how many great friendships i gained this year (esp Highlifers!)..yay...and I realised...God blessed me so much with this ppl:)
And then Christmas! whoo...today was trying-to-catch-everybody-to-give-presents-day. haha...fun fun..great time with the polyers eating lunch together...Poor Wee Kiat.. the things we make him do...haha, cheer up Week Kiat! We polyers love you!:D youre a great cell leader! which makes you fun to bully..hee hee...;) What struck me this Christmas is...how many ppl acty know the true meaning of Christmas...its so twisted in the media these days..do ppl acty use it as an excuse to go high and be merry and get drunk? Its sad isnt it? Christians out there (including me), its time we spread the real meaning of Christmas to everybody...to spread the simple message of Good News that God gave this world 2007 years ago...My Christmas wish? That one day everybody will know who the real birthday boy is and the true meaning of Christmas:) Have a merry christmas ppl! God bless:)

Okie, im supposed to be doing projects, but...just felt that i needed to blog...so many things going on these few weeks...lemme focus in on this weekend...Friday...Youth Alive! Awesome time of worship...Megalife worship level serously increasing...i really pray and hope that it'll continue to go up and not fade away as time goes by...I guess it was'nt just as impactful on me as I wanted it to be...yes the atmosphere was there, yes i could feel God moving, but I just was'nt part of the whole thing...now i know I wasnt oversensitive a few months back..God really wants me to move on...It's painful..it's tough...but it just has to be done, I just hope that I can give my best in the year to come...Lord you deserve my very all and my very best...
then yesterday was Kor Kor Brendon's wedding! really great time...haha wanna find out more come ask me...besides that...projects and more projects, and HIGHLIFE INSIDE OUT CAMP IS COMING!!!!! wow....God, we know your presense will be with us...I pray that You take control of everything we do..let us run the final lap with confidence that our God is running beside us:) HIGLIFE CAMP COMMERS YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!:D:D:D
Security...so important to everybody..everyone tries to desperately and so hard to find it...yet...everybody finds it in the wrong places...but God taught me..that it is only when your security is in Him will you feel that peace...that strong peace and comfort that will never leave you...first I put my security in how i did in school...my grades mattered so much...God removed that completely...I dropped from being the top few in school in secondary 2 to having 39 points for my L1R5 in sec 4 prelims...yet God was merciful and when i put all my trust in Him...that was when He showed that He could move the mountains and gave me 14 points for L1R5 for Os..
then i turned to friendships...thought that they could provide me with the comfort i longed for and fill up that insecurity and change that low self esteem that i had...alas that really made me crash...a very heavy crash when i realised that..friends are jsut human beings..yes they are there to support and cheer you on...but only God understands you fully and lifts you up over your troubles when youre at your lowest point...Then when i surrendered friendships in God I realised that God was really changing and moulding me...changing me in a way that no one else could, removing my low self esteem....helping me to depend on Him and Him alone...
When friendships were gone...He showed me how i found security in what i did for Him...lemme get it clear here, theres no harm in serving God, but once you find security in HOW you serve and not WHO you serve, something is terribly wrong..and I guess i was starting to do that...and God came in and had to remove that false security too...and when all of that is gone...I look up, and realise that the answer to security is literally looking at me, and that there was no need to search furiously for answers...
This past year had been a really tough year for me..full of struggles and sorrow...yet I still wanna praise God for putting me through this..cos this only shows that He loves me so much to wanna correct my ways and is training me up for my future calling... I pray that if you read this post...remember that your security..only when placed in Him and Him alone...will make your life feel complete...if you know me then feel free to talk...i'll be there to listen:)
