just as i am; without one plea
back from the camp, totally shagged. twas truly a mountaintop experience. i learnt a whole heap of lessons that i never knew. at the very beginning, Marcus already said, that this camp is not going to be fun. that it's a revival camp. for christians who wants to get their spiritual life right. and true enough, with all the intensive sessions, the repentence, the revival, veryquality quiettimes, sharing, thanksgiving etc. this is way better than fun, even though we still had fun anyways but fun aside, throughout the camp it was very apparent that God was hard at work to make things right in everyone.
i see E, finally. in fact i see the whole picture straight from the tearful sharing of the person herself behind closed doors and i'm stunned. i see D's growth, very apparent in all the sharing sessions, so rapid it's glaring (: i see J crying during rededication and then suddenly L was crying too and after we go back to our room, M's tears welled up too. i almost couldn't take it, even with my always no-way-am-i-crying mentality. i hearrr my sister weeping so loudly during repentance even though i was abit preoccupied with my own slighttearing, repenting from all the sins that i resolved to forsake. i guess the remorsefulness got to everybody and it was a really tearful repentance. and i really thank God for that, because it's with all the reflection and repentance that we get things right with Him and many, many, manymany of us have emerged stronger, and closer to Him.
like i said, i was tearing only a lil during repentance, which just goes to show that i was sorry, but not very sorry about all the unpleasing things that must have hurt Him to see me do. and then it's in this camp that i've felt kinda like two of my closest friends perhaps, couldn't really be bothered about me at all. somehow it just shows especially during meal times and free times and like, the before sleeping self-declare freetimes haha. i mean like, it didn't really bug me until i reach home and gather my afterthoughts bout the camp and somehow sadness got to me. i mean i ask God whyy and then i understand, my comfort zone will have to be taken away if not i won't go and do the work that He wants me to do. and He put it straight at me, that the sadness i'm feeling are the exact things that i've subjected other people to. alot of people in fact. people whom i've excluded and totally hecked, people whom i've omitted cos of group entity all my life, people whom i've considered lesser, and then i find myself shedding tears at alot of things that i've done in the past. i'm sorry, i'm really sorry.
wondrous how He always manage to renew. But he said to me: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." That is why, for Christ's sake, i delight in weakensses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when i am weak, then i am made strong. (Eph 12:9-10)
i'm ok already. won't forget the lesson. now, it's time to get my body clock corrected, my sorethroat and slightfever (which means flu soon) nursed and maintain the revived state because next week is 2006 already, so there, serious business starting (:

no squeezing with the crowd at some rave parties on Christmas eve mushi says pin2 an1 ye4 is not kuang2 huang1 ye4 come on, your chinese can't be that bad ahah
Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth, Would care to know my name, Would care to feel my hurt, Who am I? That the Bright and Morning Star, Would choose to light the way, For my ever wandering heart,
Not because of who I am, But because of what You've done, Not because of what I've done, But because of who You are.
Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin, Would look on me with love, and watch me rise again, Who am I? That the voice that calmed the sea, Would call out through the rain, And calm the storm in me,
Not because of who I am, But because of what You've done, Not because of what I've done, But because of who You are.
Christmas Day SOOOOOOOO EGGGCITEDDDDDD everyone was so kan cheong! church was packed! worship was full house i think! choir sat in front, first 3 rows, exhilarating Christmas spirits! rene, wenling and darius got baptised! CONGRATSSSSSSSS
so, shao's favourite verse bout Christmas: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (isaiah 9:6) and MINE: Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved (acts 4:12)
lunch time was mad rush, everyone's chasing people to pass them presents, must be fast! one moment you see them, the next they're gone! and..i'm not very tall ok.
i show you all my presents i received tada
we have our own ypf celebration after that games: which im a biased scorekeeper HAHA and FOODDDDDDDDDDD my my celebrated all the december babies' bdays also
hurried home at around 5 plus for Christmas dinner, version TWO. so, well, my mum forgot we're omnivorous and not carni hahaahh. very happy
hi mr. cindy'sheight
yes i took the piccas at night, in fact just. but the bad bad badd quality is because, well that's the problem with handphone cams
all in all, im so drained now! and so happaayyyy this is my joy, that cannot be taken away all my life, i'm gonna be like this :)
to add on, today is Christmas, 25 December 2005. two thousand and five years ago, Christ was born in a manger in Bethlehem. (EVERYBODY knows already so get to the pointttt) actually every time you write down the date on your worksheet you're admitting that Christ was born so and so number of years ago. with Him, the dates start counting. before Him, the dates were counting down. and every day you're admitting, oui!
in a few hours' time i'll be off to camp! :) in a few hours' time i'll be lugging all my stuffs AND my sister's stuffs to church. joseph (this pri6 boy) 's dad is dropping by to pick me up my sister will join us after ccbc's changlong's wedding yay yay and i shall be back on thursday. MERRY CHRISTMAS :)
truth forever
on the scaffold,
wrong forever
on the throne.
yet the scaffold
sways the future,
and behind
the dim unknown,
standeth God
within the shadow,
keeping watch,
above His own.
| verse of the day
| beautiful, i just want you to know, you are my favourite girls
not what my hands have done
can save my guilty soul
not what my toiling flesh has borne
can make my spirit whole
not what i feel or do
can give me peace with God
not all my prayers & sighs & tears
can bear my awful load
Your work alone, O Christ
can ease this weight of sin
Your blood alone, O Lamb of God
can give me peace within
Your love to me, O God
not mine, O Lord, to thee
can rid me of this dark unrest
& set my spirit free
Your grace alone, O God
to me can pardon speak
Your power alone, O Son of God
can this sore bondage break
no other work, save thine
no other blood will do
no strength, save that which is divine
can bear me safely through
i bless the Christ of God
i rest on love divine & with unfaltering lip & heart
i call this Saviour mine
His cross dispels each doubt
i bury in His tomb
each thought of unbelief & fear
each lingering shade of gloom
i praise the God of grace
i trust His truth & might
He calls me His, i call Him mine
my God, my joy, me light
'tis He who saveth me
& freely pardon gives
i love because He loveth me
i live because He lives (:
