Updates for June 2009

WOw it has been a month since I blogged. If I wait longer, i may give up blogging altogether. It seems like a short month to me. Guess time really flies and seems faster as I grow older. haha.

Here are some photos taken in June 2009.

This is how Marina Barrage looks like.

CG @ Church Camp 2009

I had a good time of fellowship and bonding with CG at the church camp. This year's theme was Heroes. From the camp, I realised that heroes aren't without weakness or flaw. But what they did despite their weakness bring them there.

A quote that stick to my mind from the camp goes something like this,

" Mountain top experiences are inspiration but character is built in valleys, fruits are bore in valleys"

How true. It is only through experiences in valleys that we mature and bear fruit. Now I see much value in God's tests and trials. And some pain and suffering has much value as well.

In this camp, I had a fresh experience of God's gentleness. This was known to me at the mind level and now I am able to identify at the heart level. It happened during the first worship session; I seems to be able to feel Jesus' gentleness as I see him going around ministering to people, healing them and showing love and concern to them. I can only give to people what I receive from God. I believe this experience will help me grow in my gentleness as I minister to others. =)

The camp teachings were powerful and I gathered and concluded from the teachings and points that He wants me to have faith in Him and step out to answer His call and persevere. Sound simple enough but to do it takes a great deal out of me because I wouldn't need to have faith in Him if His call are within my known capability or threshold. God has been speaking to me on faith for the past month or two. I guess I need to focus my eyes on Him and take up challenges with faith and not look at my weakness and find referral for Him...

I pray that I will be faithful and FAITHful to His calling and always a "Yes" to Jesus and "No" to my sinful desires.
