Hey guys, just realised from deb's tag that I've not been updating about everything that I've gone for through for the past 2 months.
Well, I can begin with the part2 of easter camp post that never did come to fruition. Anyways, for vic easter camp 2008, I was given the opportunity to be a group leader, which was aka for cgl. Jehovah UZZI! Co-led with Moses, the chair of Caulfield. Whoa, he led some of the best, fastest and most informative bible studies I've ever experienced. I've really learnt a lot from him, in terms of the using questions to not only reveal the answers but also to target and bring up more questions to enable a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Word. At first, I really struggled with the idea of being cgl at easter camp. It was so intimidating, seeing that I would be potentially leading members who are actually comm. members. Especially with my incredibly inferior level of bible knowledge during BS sessions. And this was not helped by the crazy week I had prior to the camp. Not only did I have to prepare the bs beforehand, I also was going to be in worship for the camp which equaled band practices which took away precious after school hours that were meant to complete engineering assignments. Wow, it was so crazy on the wednesday, I cant believed I survived it. Anyways, looking back, I'm kinda glad that I didn't listen to my inner 'evil' voice and dropped out of cg leading. Well, I guess its kinda time for me to get out of the rut that i was so comfortable in. And it also helped that I received confirmations/encouragements/reprimanding from up above of my avoidance and etc. oh well, all in all, it was a good camp. Met up with friends from other centres and caught up. :)

Well... recently, in the past month or so, I've been going for LTC and finally have graduated! Man! LTC, was like another easter camp moment. I really didn't want to do it, felt so uncomfortable all way through but I'm still glad I did it. If it wasnt for someone who pushed me to do it, I would have dropped out in the first week. Haha... it seems like everytime I'm involved OCF stuff, I always meet some goliath of a week. LTC night was THE worst form of busy I've ever experience in my life! In a week, I had to do a video for ltc night, study for a french test, learn engineering matlab stuff, prepare for bs and worship for ltc, study and complete a chem mid sems online test, sit for a mid sems calculus exams, complete my eng assignment, complete prelabs... I literally had to plan my to do list everyday by the hour, to ensure that I don't forget or spend too much time on any one of them. Yikes, my super week!
Anyways, ltc retreat was the best. Graeme and Jeremy really gave spot-on words for me and it really encouraging to hear them. I'm really glad that I've decided to be more involved in ocf this year, it seems like this is the right season and moment for me. I feel like a whole different Christian than when I was in Singapore in 07. And I'm really excited to see and experience what God has installed for me in 2008!

okay, sorry if this post was rather messy and not written properly, its just really hard to put into words. And if u know how my brain works, lets just say there's a lot going on in there.
until the next confusing post,

seeya!


"Cry In My Heart"

There's a cry in my heart
For Your glory to fall
For Your presence to fill up my senses
There's a yearning again
A thirst for discipline
A hunger for things that are deeper

Could You take me beyond?
Could You carry me through?
If I open my heart?
Could I go there with You?
(For I've been here before
But I know there's still more
Oh, Lord, I need to know You)

For what do I have
If I don't have You, Jesus?
What in this life
Could mean any more?
You are my rock
You are my glory
You are the lifter
Of my head
Lifter of this head
