youth camp
i had totally missed the point of being God's child. i've thought too much about perfection. i've thought too much about reaching a standard before coming clean before God. this was exactly what happened in the last youth camp. I thought i was rid of problems. But what really is is that the problem is only temporarily not present, and i thought i am free of it. As a result, i shut myself from God's word, thinking "i am not one of those". But it took Chris Long to tell me i am.
But it is love that God will allow us into His presence. It is the new covenant with God that we can come before him blameless. So many times i found myself too unworthy of Him. That's what made me then go about losing touch of Him. Even though we were against Him, He died for us. Even though we were opposing him, he still allowed us in. Is there greater love than this is it when we deserved no love, while we were to miniature and can mean totally nothing to Him?
Btw, i love this year's YC shirt. Both for the guys' and girls. its like, really GOOD DESIGN!!! though i got an M size n is a little big for me, i mus say its so freakin comfortable, it's next to sleeveless!
Another thing i must say about this year's camp is that i've made great friends. For the first time, I AM NOT A LEADER!!! WHOOO!!!! so i gotta haf fun and let everything pass and test my social and observation skills. haha. It's nice getting to know more churchmates, and they are really nice. Finally got to talk to people i never talked to in my life (but i know they exist). I mean, it's just cool to get social rite. Oh and bboying. Spent a total of i guess, 4 hours of bboying teaching tianyong and jireh altogether? tianyong pretty much getting the hang of it (congrats for the salsa, nike, toprock and our routines!) I only spent 1 hour on jireh, bt since he's interested i thought why not just intro him, and that intro ended up in teaching haha. And some churchmates keep asking me "yuanhao, er can u do the err, lotus flower?" "eh do the lotus -pause- flower leh". then i was like "lotus IS a flower." and what they refer to as lotus flower is actually a FLARE. Then i did it, sum of them remarked "woah! Lotus flower!". I really had a very very good time bboying n teaching. It's one of the least dangerous, least harmful, least noisy, most physically tiring, and best sleep assisting activity in the camp LOL! Urge all you Jael fellowship ppl reading this to learn bboy!
It's one of the favourite places when i had time with God. To be honest, i am stunned through the last 2 days of the camp, stunned by the fact that God still accepted me. Not just accepted, but embraced. Stunned by his acceptance to me prompting a total surrender to God to be used by Him.
Those who were with Justin and I when we left. From left to right: Kayhan, Jireh, Justin, Thaddeus, Yong Jian, Selek, Me(yuanhao), Tianyong. Not in picture: Julia Ting holding the cam, and her friend sry i don't know your name. Thanks you all!!
This camp has been an eye opener. amen. It made me know i'm significant to God.
