| | Unlike the previous 2 church camps, this camp has been a wonderful experience personally for me. I truly found peace amidst the huge crowd and was thoroughly enjoying God's presence in every minute and every activity spent. Though its a working trip for me this round, I found tremendous joy, encouragement and team-spirit working with the younger ones in creating a platform for church to come together to worship our AWESOME FATHER! I saw their dedication, their passion and their willingness to step up as and when they are needed and these truly brought a smile to my face. I thoroughly enjoyed the teaching sessions by Rev Abel Thomas, simple and yet cutting deep into your soul. I realised Holiness is not an option but the beauty of it is it is not done alone, God is with us. I also enjoyed watching kids having fun playing and swimming and their laughter is enough to remind me that we should sometimes learn to be more child-like in our attitudes towards things/issues.
God answers prayers. Many of my prayers prayed during church camp were answered. Pastor Kenny concluded the church camp with the story of the angel Gabriel appearing to Mary (in Luke 1) and this has been the message I have been meditating on or rather that Jesus has brought to my attention time and time again in recent weeks. Lesson to bring home is to stay on course whatever He has called me to do and it will come to pass. Though I am still treading on water, I know my beloved Father willl accomplish what He has called me to do, in His time, not mine. My job is to BELIEVE, just like Mary answered to Gabriel: 'I am the Lord's servant. May it be to me as you have said'. I want to be that Mary Lord.
The other cutting lesson to bring home is to pursue God's concerns especially in the area of showing love and catering to the needs of the people who need love and are hurting out there at our inconvenience. I prayed for God to equip me with the patience needed and to teach me how to deal with these people who will unexpectantly appear in our lives.
