my two longggggggggggggg camp weeks are finally over! heh im glad but both camps were fun, so ;)
junior camp- 'i love my Bible'
serving at junior camp was a fresh new experience and i have to say i did learn alot from interacting with the kids and learning what it means to love, what it means to sacrifice. haha hardly slept! and i truly see His hand of grace in keeping me through camp ;)
a thought that i brought out of camp was that in offering our friendship to others, we should never expect anything in return. to give like He gave and love like He loved. haha AND i memorised the sequence of all the books in the Bible! sorry im really swa-ku and stupid i know but well, challenge to love His Word so much more! (:
"i will delight myself in Your statutes, i will not forget Your Word." -psalm119:16
what really struck me most, though was the message during sunday service. the thoughts were taken from psalm119:33-38
1. teach me
2.give me understanding
3. make me walk in the path of Your commandments
4. incline my heart to Your testimonies
5. turn my eyes from looking at worthless things
6. establish Your word to me (:
law camp 2006
the lessons i learnt at this camp were, well different from what i learnt at junior camp.
first things first- i had a great OG! i made wonderful friends and i had sweet councilors and fantastic ogls haha so for that i dont regret going for camp ;)
i think the most prominent lesson i learnt is to be steadfast in faith and trust that when as we make the choice to honor Him, He will honor us and protect us in ways that we could never understand. alot of people have asked me why i make certain choices, and i just reiterate what pastor mitch told me- when you choose between what is good and what is excellent, choose the excellent choice. why do i need to shortchange myself? always make the excellent choice (:
law school is alot different from what i expected it to be but our world isnt picture-perfect. i cant say i like everything about it, but i like quite a large proportion of what i see and im really excited for the 4 years ahead (:
through all the different circumstances i've been through, im reminded that i am precious in His sight. and nothing, or no one can define my worth but God alone. and thats a thought to hold fast to! (:
