God gave me a really good friend through CAC camp :), a really fun and encouraging group; while at the same time reminding me of the wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ that He'd placed in the same church as me
heh, i know it sounds pretty childish; but i guess i couldn't find another way to say it.
i was in pretty bad shape at the time of the camp. i'd just returned from kuching (went there with some others to build/paint a house), where i'd gotten really little sleep (about 3/4 hours per day over a week). there were also common tests coming up 2 weeks after all of that (which i would later on fail badly). things were happening and i'd really been a complete wreck.
in a summarised version:
i'd refused to eat my meals (during dinner on the first night i just didn't want to eat anything at all) -- but my friends from hakka noticed and made me eat and went to pile my plate with food and brought me a drink too (i'm not sure if they still remember this :P)
i'd refused to sleep (and ended up sitting at the corridoor with my bible, trying to pray, trying to hear God's voice again) -- it's funny how my group friend happened to see me there, the she came next to me, and sat next to me, and we spoke only once in a while (compared to during the day activities in which we talked a lot :P), but it was amazing how her silent company that night spoke volumes.
later on i found out she actually thought i was super enthusiastic about God's Word, reading my bible during early unearthly hours :P it was funny when i eventually learnt what made her come sit next to me. but i thank God for sending her that night because i look back and realized that i would have broken down if i'd continued to sit there alone.
and the group i happened to be in (haha 1 qcmc, many many sengkangs :P, 1 grace, and 3 hakkas; i guess cannot say names la :P coz i haven't asked them for their permission yet) was one of the most enthusiastic and encouraging and hilarious bunch of people that i'd ever met. they were either super lame, and well, super encouraging (especially when we had to climb up the steep slope at the bukit timah nature reserve)
the prayer labyrinth was also God-sent, because it was like a journey for me, God helping me to find my way back to Him, which eventually ended up with us having to write our annoymous prayers down on blank jotter books (and to my horror find out that they did take some of what we wrote and published it annoymous :P) but my horror turned to a clearer understanding, that perhaps what i'd written could be an encouragement to someone who happened to one day, find that particular CAC newsletter, open that particular page, zoomed in on my prayer.. (well, it's an exaggeration la, but sometimes, you'd never know how God works :) He works in ways that we often cannot fathom)
HAHA, should i end with, "GO FOR CAC CAMP"?
heh; i think we have to start praying for people to blog in chinese
