wow! hehe... chin ling's post is not overdue la! i think im lagging behind her! *hehe... but im sure im not the only one! bet aileen hasnt seen this blog before! hehe...*
okok... ive accumulated everything in one post, so be prepared! wahaha...

anyway, i think this blog is really a wonderful idea! it reminds me of God's amazing works, and how much blessing He has placed in our lives! i think more importantly, i must remember to give thanks, in ALL circumstances! oh, and furthermore, we dont have to accumulate everything till team meeting to share! hehe... =p

i think everyone caught something different from the tablencale camp. myself included. although it still IS much different from the previous tablenacle camps, the fact that it touched my heart means something to me, that my heart has not hardened, and that i can still come before God, humble and broken.

keke.... 1st thing to give thanks for, was my cell! everyone except rachel managed to come for the camp! this is ONE time that i dont mind having a squeezy tent! i really think it's God @ work, and even seeing the change in them warms my heart! last time, you would have seen them grumbling and showing a black face throughout the entire camp.
NOW, you see them talking and laughing together, and even sharing with the cell.
sure, they mentioned that the camp wasnt that good that they'll be excited to come back next year, but they also added that it wasnt bad, that they'll regret coming.
for my cellies to say that, wow... it really meant alot to me. thats good enough to hear. =p
i really enjoy spending time with them now, you can actually feel warmth within the cell.
For that, i know God has done alot in this cell. im excited! im praying hard that everyone in my cell can go for the bangkok trip that we planned after their O Levels!!

secondly, i think camp was good for me too! the whole week had been super hectic, and the thought of having to prepare for worship for Rest!Camp certainly did freak me out quite abit! but i am learning something about following through, and one thing is that if God wants to use me, i have to make myself available for Him to teach 1st. haha.. you all dont know how much i struggled can! my 1st time doing worship for more than 7 ppl, with guitar somemore!! keke... i can get stage fright too! i was struggling not to give an excuse to escape from helping, but i really did want God to use me! so yup.. actually, worship wasnt that bad la! im glad pam and aileen were there to help me too! *whew*
now, i hope ill follow through my guitar lessons too! with guidance from dellia, i really hope to be able to play guitar for cell worship next time! keke... JIA YOU!! ade and crow too!!
GOD IS SO GOOD!! <--- ill soon be able to play that! haha....

thirdly, i thank God for the rest during camp! for me, it was really imporant to acknowledge that rest does not always have to be physical rest.. coz im definitely blessed that He sustained me throughout the entire hols. i think serving God doesnt only mean church activities, but to serve extends out to even my classmates! In particular, He also gave me the opportunity to bond closer with a few of my SIM classmates, especially in the midst of working together. it seems funny that they were the ones who made me and another classmate feel so left out in our 1st year in SIM, and now, they are the same classmates whom im closest to! i know God really moved mountains for that la! heh...and im sure He has a reason for placing them in my life! so ill continue to pray for them, and hopefully, they'll come to know God too!!!

lastly, i really thank God for helping me to accept myself for who i am. if God has given me these traits, i should not look upon them as burdens, but as talents to be used to serve God. hehe... hard to explain la! but it was through this period that i managed to find myself. hee.....

amen to all!
