CAMP EXTRAORDINARY '07 was sooooooooo good! God blessed that camp fo' SHO man :D Well I have taken and learned a lot from camp, and I must say my faith in God definitely increased. God's presence stirred our hearts during each session and Pastor Matt (from planetshakers) was just so awesome, and he's 'kewl buh-nah-nas'. He can do voice immitations like no other, iswear! His deliverance of the Word kept me to the edge of my seat, and I was always all-ears. It's obvious God is using him to the fullest already :)
155 young people came together and the hall was just filled with laughter, prayer, praise and worship, hope, faith and love. 35 or so people got saved :) some of them re-dedicated their lives to Christ, and 30 or so people could speak in tongues for the very first time! I was so happy for Sheng :) God has done something amazing at camp, and now I'm more certain than ever that He's gonna change people's lives completely.
Even though I didn't turn up to any of the worship practices, I didnt care that I had to miss breakfast and stuff just to be in the hall with the others to have a short practice. I learned to let the Holy Spirit lead me in praise and worship, and it was just so unbelievable for me to play 'Beautiful Saviour' on the keyboard when I wasnt able to play it earlier on. Only one thing matters at the end of praise and worship anyway, hoping that our praise and worship would be acceptable to Him. I think this year's camp songs would have to be: 'Solid Rock' and 'Beautiful Saviour'. Just seeing kids as young as 11 giving their praises to Him was such a fleeting image.
I made several friends and it was just so great being around awesome people. I love the feeling of being around people :D I made friends with this really cute twelve year old kid- Ka Yong. He was a member of the tribe that I was in- Kickapoo! which was lead by Bernard hahaha. Our cheer OWNED, but sadly we didn't win hahaha. I talked to Wei Jin properly for once, even though I see him every Friday and Sunday. It was just really nice talking to people I never got the chance or guts to talk to before :) and I got closer to Sheng than before- it's more than a hi-bye friendship now I guess haha. Hopefully I will be able to see him at least once a month, if he comes to acts that is.
Hanging out with The Pokers was really awesome as well! Myself, Melissa and Angel decided to add more people to our group since we were joining the Freestyle Competition. Next thing we knew we saw 8 people rapping, jumping, laughing outside my room in the corridor. The Pokers included myself, Melissa, Angel, Shaun, Bryant, Miko, Sheng and Gerald. We rapped/sang in the end/barbie girl/numb remixed hahaha, and all of us basically freaked dance on stage. Spin won the freestyle competition though, and they performed it at service this morning hahaha and well we were just like 'man that should have been us :( we owned!' but its okay, we had loadsa fun practising with everyone outside the corridor hahaha.
I was so glad that Andy, Pukar and Matthew came :) It was so great seeing Pukar going up to the altar, and I couldnt stop cheering for him and the others who made the greatest decision in their life. Andy enjoyed camp so much and was touched by His Word that he's looking forward to coming to acts! This made me sooo happy because I've been asking him numerous times to come to acts but he was never so keen on it. He said it was fun, so, hah! :D
I'm looking forward to this week's Acts29 service :) can't wait to see all the new faces again! and it's been so long since I last went to Acts29 since I was in Singapore with Melissa and her Mum. Singapore was great, and Rachael Yamagata was awesomeeee, and I got her autograph! (after waiting in line for an hour!! haha). Rachael Yamagata's voice is so deep and smoky and so damn unique, so jealous :( haha.
Anyway my GCSEs have actually started, (well my GCSE Art Exam anyway) and I have my Chinese Speaking in a week, and then it's English Language and English Literature (which will be 3 or so hours? Longest writing exam ever! Art is 10 hours, but is being split up into days). I really need to get my nerd on and study, and hopefully Baxter will help me with physics. I don't know if I can be bothered with tuition anymore, because I really feel like I can do it on my own. With help from some friends of course and from Him :) it's 1.45a.m. and I'm watching Scrubs! I have to get up super early tomorrow to get my nerd on!
