It's been an eventful weekend, and I thank God for bringing me through it with patience, wisdom and faith.
Meeting the Sec Ones was quite nice, some really reminded me of myself when I was younger.
Honestly, I had a lot of doubts when coming for this camp. It was the first time I ever saw the kids, and I totally didn't know who to talk to them, to interact with them, to be their friends.
But when we all sat there at the pantry, I felt calmness come over me. I felt truly, at home with them.
Yeah, there were some awkward moments, but generally, I think I managed to reach out to them, starting this 6-year mentorship.
Spending time with the rest of the cell group was great, especially that night when we just got together and created music. It's funny how people from totally different backgrounds can come together, bonded by music.
And Edmund's rendition of "The Scientist" was awesome. Seriously.
In a world beyond controlling,
Are you gonna deny the Savior
Right before your eyes?
I'm glad I came into this camp with the right mentality. That frame of mind. Gives me a focus, something to reach toward.
On the other hand, it was extremely amusing to see all of us trying our best to set a good example for the kids. Hoho.
YY's birthday celebration was the bomb. Literally.! An aural assault of high pitched noises and sugar highs.
This self-discovery,
Redemption taking hold of my mind.
Keeping my mind on the goal, to live a life in His image.
Sermon on Sunday itself was extremely engaging. Tried my best to keep myself alert during the whole service.
I want to change myself, not just to be a role model to the kids. I want to be a living testimony for Him, and the changes He's done in my life. I don't want to be a different person on Sundays, and revert back to the crude person I was before.
I am merely a tool, used my God to further His Kingdom on Earth. I've always take Him for granted, asking Him for help, only when I need it, using Him for my own goals.
I need to let go, have faith in His plan for me, let Him use me as His tool.
Let go, let God.
I hope the rest of January continues to be just as good. But even if it's not, I will have faith.
Speak to me, God, show me Your way.
