CHRISTMAS

Remember the Christ in Christmas.

6 more mins to Christmas (:
Christmas isn't about Santa Claus, the presents and all the Christmas carols.
The main point is the celebrating and giving thanks to God's grace for us (:
Christmas is the day that He sent His precious son,
joy because we can finally reconcile with Him,
pain because He had forseen what must happen to His son before we can have salvation.

Praise the Lord (:
It's 12 am now!
MERRY CHRISTMAS !(:

DO IT FOR HIM




After youth camp, I thought back to the days when I was serving God with the camp comm.
I really missed the joy of serving Him with all of them.
It was always filled with joy and laughter,
although we do have our serious times when it comes to God's Word during meetings.
Whenever I think of all this moments, I can't help but think back to the night of Day 0.
It was the night before youth camp and it was already 12 plus.
We were all the church terrace and we just had a session of pouring out our feelings.
As we sat under the starry night, Eu Jin and Pauline appeared with a bucket, soap and towel.

I immediately guessed what they were going to do but I didn't really know how to respond.
Soon, all of us fell silent.
Then Eu Jin and Pauline proceeded to wash our feet,
just like how Jesus did to his disciples.
As the moments passed, the image of Jesus washing his disciples feet kept on flashing through my mind.
I felt so touched that I was speechless.
I was just telling God how great a leader Pauline and Eu Jin is.
I felt that God was just with us (: looking at what Pauline and Eu Jin is doing and feeling pleased with them (:

As youth camp is finally here, though we are always rushing here and there being busy but we really felt the joy (:
Though it was physically draining, but ultimately Eu Jin and Pauline told us that we should constantly remind and encourage each other.

As the 2nd night approaches,
I felt sad that I had to leave.
I kept praying to God in my heart that if it's possible, can I not leave? But if it's His Will, then let everything be according to His Plan.
Though I really had to leave,
the good thing was that I realised how much I couldn't bear to leave the camp comm and the camp.
I just felt that through the camp, we really grew closer (:

As I leave for my CCA camp the next day, I admit that I went with a very heavy heart.
Then I saw all the encouraging SMS from the camp comm members and my CG that I felt that I should just do my best for them and God (:
That was what kept me going throughout the whole camp.
It was a good thing actually, the camp helps me to be stronger (:

I really saw the passion Eu Jin and the rest of the camp comm have.
I really thank God that I decided to join the camp comm this year,
I really learned a lot more about serving from each and every one of them and Im so glad that I know so many more brothers and sisters-in-Christ who will always encourage me and remind me whom Im doing all this for (:
May God bless them! (:

Lastly, thank God for being with us during the camp! (:
