Youth Camp!
Is over:(
But, it doesn’t end there. As youth, we’ve got a long road ahead of us one that is unseen and unknown by mankind and there is bound to be more God encounters. Youth camp is just one event out of all the other happenings throughout the year. The real thing, the more essential event happens every week (more or less), and that is Y.D.M. So don’t just stop at camp peeps, whether you’ve experienced God in an extraordinary, massive way, or perhaps in a smaller, not so grand way, I encourage you all to crave for more. More of Him. More of His heart.
What I’ve really learnt or have understood more from this camp is God’s reassurance. It was strange how it felt so right and so certain when I was praying for others, but when it came to myself, everything just seemed impossible. I was just confused at that moment, too much of guilt. So for that moment I struggled with faith and trust. I bombarded Him with questions that have simple, correct answers. Answers that I should have known. So the reason for breaking down I felt was really because of conviction, love, because I didn’t believe, because I encountered God and WOW! It was so overwhelming, so astounding. I just needed more.
Another aspect God really taught me more about and I believe this is one of the reasons why it was His will for me to attend camp, was forgiveness. I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem with this issue but more with it’s second half, “forgetting”, that’s the trouble. God really turned all that around, and he kinda threw in it my face and said, face it. He hurled it at me because He knew I wanted it I guess. I wanted it all back, that I missed it. He wanted to show his greater plans and how life doesn’t have to end whenever you’re stuck. He replaced my joy because what I had was never satisfying and now I feel so much more relieved.
A few more highlights: my fellow ‘multi-partners” quote ry, Dennis, i.e. Sweet cheeks, pretty boy, pinky, BE, HUGE GUY, Ryan E. you guys are fabulous. You guys contribute not only to the success of this camp but to why this camp goes into my book of treasured memoirs. I love you guys. I still owe you a few more farts ry!! Who would know you would get me back=p Dennis; stay pretty!;)
Dad; thanks for the prayer, I can’t possibly thank you enough, it’s like the Father sent the Father(: You’ve always been the place where I could find comfort. I love you so much. We should hang on me burfdayXD
And to the rest of you people who went through camp with me, *MWAH* We’re family and thanks for carrying the burden with me. My prayer for you all is that You shall continue to long for Him and seek him everyday!
The food was good too! Is always good!! You’ve got to say Amen to that Gid;) haha btw Linus is awesome! I wish I was there in Perth with you guys, we could be like the coolest threesome, haha He calls me Gid=p Really miss you buddy, come back ASAP you’ve missed loads!! Hope God is doing great things for you in Oz, or should I say “down under”??!? No offence I just took that off Linus. Great guy, haha so hilarious!

PASTOR SHENG; (I think you peeps misheard what I said about how I said "even though I may not be pastor sheng, I like helping people understand the word" for "I feel like I'm pastor sheng, helping those in need of understanding and blah blah blah..."
