「 bouncing away 8:24 PM 」
Went for camp last night and crashed there till they broke camp today.
I'm glad i went for camp, but at the same time, I kinda blame myself for going.
ok, this is going to be quite a long post...

First, let's me share the why I was glad I went for camp.
Rev Alvin shared something this morning which kinda lifted me. :D


Fire - Place

When you put in a piece of wood at an angle from the top, the flames will rise up to reach the wood, to continue to burn.

The same thing, God puts you through trials and tests you from different angles. You, or rather we have to rise up to the challange and face it bravely. If we avoid it, then we'll not be able to move on, and the fire will not burn.

Second, the fire place cannot burn with just 1 piece of wood alone. It needs a bunch of wood to initiate the the fire and even more wood, varing in size, to keep the fire burning.

In the same way, we need to find friends to keep our flame burning. If we stand by ourselves, our flame will die out in no time. But if we have friends to keep us going, the fire in us will continue to glow and grow, maybe even brighter and higher.

Lastly, a fire needs air to continue burning. Now, read this. We need the BREADTH of GOD to keep our fire going! Without God's breadth, we will not have fire and even if we have a fire, the fire will die down very quickly.

That's just so amazing!

On the other hand, I was rather upset when youths went out to share their testimonies about camp and stuff. I know I shouldn't judge them and I don't have the right to criticise them. But I'm having my doubts about them. How much of what they shared is real??!! Are they just trying to seek attention or what? I don't know. I just broke down when the sharing got a bit out of hand (to me). My heart breaks to see YM going in this direction now. Not that YM is headed in the wrong direction but like I don't know. I don't know how to say...

Ah Nehbounced.
