its over

just got back from camp..have been really encouraged by many things. really, this camp has been so different from other camps. but something that strikes me most while serving this yr is to be still before God.

"be still and know that i am GOD"

being one of the oldest persons there, really felt the tremendous responsibility to reach out to the younger ones, to be concern over their welfare and all.. and sometimes when so many things happen to go an unexpected way, you really feel so burdened and filled with really worries and everything and all you do is spend loads of time praying and praying for them.. well, i realise that many a times i kind of made use of strength that comes from myself (human strength). that's why, the camp esp, the 1st few days have been really tiring and all..both physically and mentally.. and because i have been so concern ovr those things that i have failed to realise that my relationship with GOD is really of utmost importance.. and it has to be even stronger or more than whatever i am doing and serving..so that verse really reminds me.. the speaker said something abt ''cease striving" which i find really true.. because amidst of all the stuff, we must nvr forget our main purpose of serving and who we are doing it for. and that our relationship with christ must be our priority. so, i really prayed alone before lunch after one of the grp discussions.. kind of broke down while praying. God really showed me HIS grace and mercy.. and through many encounters with Him at this camp.. i must say i am truly encouraged..wonderful pple i have met.. new friends and all.. but most imptly, God really spoke to me and that was 1 of the things that really struck me during camp. so, i am really praying a lot now.. that i will cont. to walk close to God daily even after camp..and although i felt that during camp i hadnt been able to grow in my relationship with God as much as i wld love because of all these issues, i just want to thank God for showing me this impt lesson..so, with all these issues settled, i guess i can say i really feel recharged and really renewed..

want to thank all the other leaders for being so encouraging. and my lovely grp members.
