This year's camp has been really great. Not because of the fun, the games, the people or the food (the food is really great though haha) but because of how God has moved in this camp. This sounds cliche but it's true.  I believe that the prayers that we prayed during the many prayer meetings that we had prior to the camp have been answered.

This year's camp has been really different for me as compared to the previous camps that I have attended. The sessions have left such a great impact on me that after the session has ended it has put me in quite a meditative state that I wasn't quite looking forward to the games as I would have liked and instead was wanting more sessions. It was really encouraging to see so many people responding to the altar call, and for me when I was playing guitar for worship, to see some of our new friends lifting up their hands in praise and mouthing lyrics (or maybe prayers?). Also to see people accepting Christ right then and there (Lee Yi and Faliq) and have their hearts so shaken and moved by the sessions.

Was really exhausted for this year's camp as well. Made the mistake of drinking milk tea on the first night during zone time and I became an insomniac for that night. Managed to only fall asleep sometime around 4:30am after I decided to plug in my earphones and listen to music. Created a sleep debt for myself that has taken a toll on me for the duration of the camp. Why am I so sensitive to caffeine lol.

Jia Wei and I wanted to do something quite special in this camp but alas that plan didn't work. We wanted to write cards of encouragement for everyone (something like the midnight jelly bean club in XFactor) but there wasn't much time for us to do so. Partly because we are both group leaders and briefings can end quite late and mostly because Jia Wei has to do alot (understatement) of stuff for IMAGINE team late into the night. Ended up writing to only a handful of people. The massive amount of cards we bought got underutilised heh.

Became an assistant group leader again this year as well and I wonder if I actually did a good job at all for this role. Sigh sometimes I hate my introversion as it prevents me from accomplishing things that I would want to do. Don't think I have this leader thing working out for me.

The hype for this camp may be over but the work that God has done in each and every one of our hearts will continue on. It's up to us to let this work continue though. As for me, I'm finding myself, or rather trying to live life for the Kingdom (adopt more of the Kingdom mentality) and bearing fruits that would last. And for that to happen, we have to abide in Him.




EDIT: wow much procrastination. this was stuck as a draft for a week.
