2024-07-14 06:14:58 UTC

i simply thank God for the work He has done in me and in this campus. i see this campus beginning to rise to something more glorious and holy. even if i am positioned as a watcher, Lord i thank you i get to be part of this.

I want to commit myself to being more like Jesus in growing to be a “leave the 99 to find the 1” kind of person to reach out to those who feel like they are being left behind in the church community.

I want to build a community that are builders and not just built.

2024-07-14 06:18:13 UTC

i think i simply want to come into a place that surrender all my rights and entitlement to Him and honestly i think this comes from an outflow of knowing His grace but i think i struggle to understand the magnitude of His grace at times :’)

Give God a new whiteboard and let God write what He wants to write. God wants me to allow Him to erase all that is on it so that He can write what He wants.

Break the alabaster jar — my heart in simply wanting to serve. As i choose to break this jar, it is enough. I don't need to cleanse of myself so that i can be pleasing before Him, but a simple heart of worship is truly enough.

i just wanna thank god for the struggles that i have, although its tough but it shows to me that my faith is stronger than those struggles and temptations and really puts me to the test. as i struggle i too find out more about myself and dig deeper on the brokenness within me too as i journey to be more holy and god fearing, i want to give thanks to god for putting me in this campus where everyone’s hearts are on fire and i can borrow and lend faith to others as well.

2024-07-14 06:19:37 UTC

I want to commit my heart and my time to the campus, and to encourage the campus towards being a safe space for open sharing; a cosy home for growth towards Christ. Whatever God wants to use He can just take.

2024-07-14 06:20:17 UTC

to choose to surrender the many things that God has given, to let Him use my life for His will.

2024-07-14 06:20:37 UTC

I want to surrender the area of pride in my life. Learning to die to myself and having humility before the Lord. To serve and love those that I might not get along with or have hurt me. Ultimately, I want to honour God in the way I live my life so that others can see a glimpse of Jesus through me.

2024-07-14 06:20:51 UTC

a long journey of the Lord breaking me apart and rebuilding me to make me more like Him. I think a big part of me really disliked the pain that came with it, the process and relearning everything about my faith. Though I know its true that I am grateful for the product of this new wine, I think today I remember that this is done because He loves and cares for me.

With the new restructure I kept saying that I didnt really know the reason as to why I feel so uncomfortable and today I know, its because I have only so little to give. I know there is still much healing and rebuilding to be done yet God delights in this alabaster jar that I can pour out onto Him and into the LG. The wrestling isnt wasted as I initially thought through the camp but one that God reassures that He is moulding me to be more like Him, with every yes I give He takes it with joy and pride. He sees my heart, and with my answer that is yes He says to go, to walk in-step with the Spirit to build His church and to build my life on Him. Even when I fall, He is sovereign and I can have full faith that He loves me too much to let me go, that I will fall into His arms. & whatever’s of God’s, I want it.

not sure, if I answered the qn or overly-shared but this is my response.

2024-07-14 06:20:58 UTC

i want God to make me holy till I look like Him. it's a joy but also to come with aches and pruning and pains. I wanna reflect who He is in my life.

2024-07-14 06:20:59 UTC

I think I really want to be able to submit without feelings of restraint but it’s quite hard for me to at times especially when I feel like I have to sacrifice certain things I have really desired

2024-07-14 06:21:00 UTC

I thank God for giving me the opportunity to be part of this, as I am able to learn from not only the Bible, but learn from my fellow LG mates too :) I do hope that as time passes, I do hope to further commit to the Lord in other ways, as I find myself struggling to fully submit to the Lord at times. It is essential to trust in the Lord fully, and I do hope to achieve this eventually.

2024-07-14 06:21:02 UTC

I always fall back to the same temptation of enjoying a certain fs that does affect my own rs w God. God has nudged me many times, I respond but still fall. I want to commit to walk away and be close to Jesus.

2024-07-14 06:21:25 UTC

i want to respond to God in breaking down my pride & knowledge of who He is & to accept the portion He is calling me to joyfully. i want to have a stake of the community, & to stand in the gap boldly.

2024-07-14 06:21:37 UTC

with adulting life coming soon, im starting to think and be concerned a lot about my future.

while i still seek and desire control over this, i know God is calling me to surrender this to Him. it is so hard, not knowing what the future is like especially when this is the final stage before i go out into the workplace. but, i want to try.

2024-07-14 06:21:54 UTC

To surrender my comforts and security of my life to Him, knowing that He is the One that brings lasting peace and assurance that my life is secure in Him. These are areas that I hold deeply within my heart, not giving God full control over these areas because I don't fully trust in Him. I hope that in this act of submission, my time in SUSS will be well-used to grow the ministry - not chasing after the many things I can do in school/outside of school. I'm not clear on how I can contribute to the ministry, but I want to commit in doing so as an act of obedience.

rainbowgirlxo — 2024-07-14 06:24:22 UTC

Since the start of my journey here, SIM has been the place where I unlearned and relearned many things about the faith & God. God also dug out and revealed a lot of who I really am to light.

My response to this is that I want to keep pressing in on this refinement process & journey with others to do the same. I want to support my LGL & LG to my best + steward the talent God has given for the church well.

2024-07-14 06:24:34 UTC

I want to commit myself to loving people better.

Through this camp, God has showed me how I can lean on him on strength to serve and the joy of serving the people around me. He has shown me what it’s like to sacrifice and to love above one’s comfort through my life group mates. It was difficult at first, aa someone who previously relied on their own strength to get the job done. But I believe that God has opened up this area of loving others through my actions by means of sacrifice and discomfort at times simply because he has loved us the same. So I think God for really loving me till I overflow and can properly love others around me <3

2024-07-14 06:24:45 UTC

I want to be closer to him, surrender my insecurity, feeling lost emotion to him. So that I won’t give him a written canvas with all my desire but an empty one for him to fill up, trust him with whatever outcome I receives.

2024-07-14 06:25:33 UTC

catching God’s heart, i think in this year, i want to learn to stand in the gap for others, and i want to love others fiercely just as christ would, as well as bring others to burn for God together with me but i really really pray for growth in my communion and intimacy as all i do continue to be an outflow of His heart, into mine, unto others. i pray for God to be my chief leader!

2024-07-14 06:26:20 UTC

This season has been one where I hoping to take deliberate steps towards closeness in God and hearing his voice such that in all that i do, is an overflow of thy heart.

It has been difficult as the walk for purity and holiness is one where i find myself having to battle between my flesh's pleasure and trust in God to fight my battles. This camp, I'm just thankful to know that the obedience and submission walk does not look bad as long as i dont give up looking towards God.

In worship, to give my excellence and to honor him. Aside from my distractions and tiredness, to worshio him despite.

2024-07-14 06:26:36 UTC

I want to submit my independence to you Lord, a commitment to steward it well. In love and in truth, to be a servant in your kingdom, one that loves because you first loved me. More than myself, to lay this life of mine down at your feet, serving you and your kingdom unconditionally. You have shown me your goodness and in my heart I can’t deny how real you are to me! Even in the pain and the hurts of relearning expectations, Lord I know you watch over me. may You simply be my greatest treasure, my greatest reward, the eternal prize my heart shall forever look to

2024-07-14 06:27:00 UTC

i want to work towards taking ownership of my lifegroup. not because that’s what the leaders keep preaching about, but simply because God first loved me and He loves these people. and i want to do the same as well, i want to model my life after Him. i want Him to lead me as i go through my healing journey as well

2024-07-14 06:27:52 UTC

I wanna lift up the entire area of my mental heath struggles. I think God has been challenging me not just intellectually but really deep into my soul that its ok to say that i struggle greatly in depression and self harm. Since the start of camp, i seen restoration and i foresee it continuing until one day when i will be healed fully without shame and fear :)

2024-07-14 06:29:01 UTC

God was revealing to me that i needed to learn to live like i am made new in Christ, to let go of my past baggage and allow Him to do His healing and restoration works within me. praying that though it will be tough, that i will persevere.

and to my lifegroup, i commit to giving my time and energy to you. i want to avail myself more to better support and love you guys. i am willing to stand in the gap and intercede for us.

Response

Continue pursuing Holiness

(To refine holiness and define my unholiness)

Break down the parts of my unholiness and work on it , stop the talk and start the walk , be practical and attack it and not just provide lip service to God.

Unholiness (List down)
Locations (Workplace,Home)
People (Love the unlovable)

2024-07-14 06:30:38 UTC

To be able to do what God calls me to do despite feelings of unworthiness and sense of hurt and bitterness to go into where the Lord wants me to go and walk upon the "waters" despite the fear and hold onto his hands admist the unstable footing and the uncertainties the current and coming season brings. To be able to trust and remain faith-filled in the faithful God that has been with me through the years and changing season.

To be willing to allow and apply continually allow His words that have been spoken and is still speaking over and to me. To be able to go into the "place of fear" boldly and with vigor and do whatever He has called me there to do and serve in.

To have the child-like faith, wonder and obedience to do things by letting God hold the pen and write into a fresh book and giving Him all the strokes of the pen and not just the broad, "overarching story".

Lastly, to continue to be willing to commit and serve continually despite the scars and wounds I had received throughout my journey with God. To be able to say, "yes" to Him and choose Him again and again despite circumstances and situation; regardless of seasons or heart-condition.

2024-07-14 06:30:42 UTC

To be sensitive to the spirit and have a soft and moldable heart for God. Saying yes to His calling and living life in His image. Right now I'm nowhere close to where He wants me to be, but gonna choose the narrow path and walk in obedience. ‭

Psalms 119:105 NIV‬

[105] Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

Praying that my submission to God will last.

2024-07-14 06:32:27 UTC

through this camp i've met a lot of people with different personalities - some i may not agree with. i don't say these thoughts out loud but i do harbour some unkind thoughts and judgment in my head. Because of who He is, I want to surrender to be more like Him, to be more loving to the people around me and love them wholeheartedly. ❤️

2024-07-14 06:33:21 UTC

for the longest time i felt like i had no place here even as i give my best in this part of the church. it is a continuous battle of surrender and wrestling. yet as i read all of these responses i feel encouraged to know i am not alone, and that everyone else is struggling to do their best. let's love God and people together.

2024-07-14 06:34:29 UTC

in this season of rebuilding my faith , i want to be fervent in prayer and make space in my heart. there are real “ treasures” that i have to clean out, before God can have room to be the center of my life again. As simple and as little faith as i can muster to face the giants, i pray that the Lord refines my heart

2024-07-14 06:38:47 UTC

I want to commit to pouring myself out to know, to love, to serve, to disciple, to believe, to journey and to be whatever He calls me to be.

I pray to give more of myself until I have given all of myself to You, Lord & I pray to yield this life into Your hands, with gratitude and joy.

A part of session 3 that really got me thinking yesterday: “What can I not break at Jesus’ feet because it would destabilise my life? What trips me up in my journey with God?”

I pray that I can come to a point where I am willing to break everything at Jesus’ feet because the truth is that right now, I am not and there are still many things I am holding on tightly to. I want to give my “yes” to God and ask Him what the next instruction and steps are.
