A new heart

A new mind

THANK YOU DEAR FATHER! 🤍 UR MEAN AND LOVE TO ME IS MY PERFECT NUMBER 1!🤍

Thank you to ALL camp comitees! PR MIR, PR LC, ALL YA leaders, YUAN RICHARD N CHLOE!!!

What I learned after this camp, is that God will always be there with me. He hears me, and he ensures that I always belong, even though I don't feel like it, he will make way to know that he is always there for me.

ABIDE camp isn't the best, but it was definitely better than the previous camps I went, and with this camp, it allowed me to open up, and connect better with my close friends. I love speaking and hearing everyone's story, I would love to attend next year :)

At camp, God showed me that no matter where I am, He sees me. The speakers boldly reminded me that God loves everyone and that each person is valuable in His eyes. Through the plenary sessions and group discussions, God reminded me that He is good and in control. During my time at camp, I fell more in love with God and developed a deeper desire to know Him more.

Yesterday night, while singing "I'll raise a hallelujah", I also suddenly imagined Paul and Silas singing this while they were jailed.

Think this has some meaning? 🤔

Thank you also for all the speakers that gave amazing sharing to us.

Spoiler? They didn't. Some things ended up falling through, one right before camp too. In short, I also felt like I was falling short of the role I had committed to serving in for camp and I had a lot of stress and grief from that.

Then on the first night, I opened my envelope and found one encouragement note: "You're enough in the eyes of the Lord!!!" it was unsigned but it meant so much to me in that moment 😭 It felt like God had used someone as a vessel to send that message straight to me. I also had friends who gave me comfort and reassurance right when I opened up and I was constantly so thankful for these people that God had sent.

As the camp went on, more things ended up diverging from the original plan and 'going south'. But each time, it ended up feeling like south was the better direction and God had known that and was commanding that. He had his sovereign hand over this camp the entire time. "Your ways are higher than ours" is what I kept thinking.

Also as someone who was serving, I figured I'd be missing out on the presence bcs I'd be too busy doing things on the back-end but I was SOOOOOOOOO wrong hahah God came and touched me in ways I didn't expect and I received a lot of revelations and affirmations from His word and from the plenaries ❤️ I truly feel like God moved in this camp from start to finish.

Can't wait for the next chapter of CC post-camp!! May God's spirit continue to move and set this generation ablaze!! May my generation continue to delight in Him and dwell in His house forever Amen!!

However some improvements for future camps, plenary sessions were longer than scheduled. For some this may be okay, but for the other rest of us it was abit too draggy and long made us kinda tired throughout the camp, especially the night sessions continuing past 11pm… Another pointer would be the organising team and group leaders can be more inclusive towards everyone. I realised that many people especially the crew members aren’t very welcoming towards new people and mainly stick in their own cliques. We are all part of God’s family and everyone should feel included. I take it upon myself to always find the excluded ones :)

I was seeking for what God wants to teach me and I've had a small revelation to remind myself that God's love is bigger than I think, and there's always room to grow in loving.

I felt like I started setting up walls and principals to love, I put in a box. But God taught me that His love is bigger than the box I put Him in. 🙌
