whoa. haven blogged for ages =) oh ya. my tagboard is up...after both me n my bro sat infront of the com for almost an hr...haha. thank u farano! people people..leave me a msg ya!

this is probably the most exciting yr i've had. hee...being with the others, planning this yr's youth camp! held onto n supported one another...i'm really happy to know more brothers n sisters better. working with them for half a yr , i learnt what makes them =) n encourages them.. as well as their temper n what pisses them off. whats cool is...we all became transparent towards one another and we share openly how we feel. by doing that, we learnt more abt God, a little more abt each other.

i really praise n thank God for everything. *grinz* for bringing so many ppl to lifewire, watching over everyone of us. opening the hearts of many, to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. allowing them to find the love, hope n life they have been seeking for. this is something i will remember for life. okays..i wanna reflect back on what i did the the past few wks.

* kong kong youth retreat *
for a start, its a BEAUTIFUL place *smilez* it's a simple and quiet place. thats the beauty of it. i could stay there forever. it's my second yr going there n i still enjoy it! the food is great! but after eating the same thing (chili crabs and man tou) for a few days, the last day i just din wanna eat anymore. haha.

i got to kong kong by taxi with silly girl (jessica), aggie n joshua. all of us were not familiar with m'sia at all. thank God i could rem vaguely where to go to get a taxi n He kept us safe! =) everyday, we had worship n short session of bible study. the most interesting one was abt 'friendly fire'. i'm a war movie fan...ya, when sam was sharing, i was thinking why war movies dun show friendly fire since so many people died from it. oh well. back to the point, sam reminded me to be careful of what i say to others. it can either build up or tear down. i should always consider, what will happen after i say this to him/her? will it build up or tear down?

when i was at kong kong, i really had a retreat. u know, a retreat as in a real retreat. haha. i came back fresher spiritually. when i was there, i let go of something i held dearly n tightly. it was about a best friend i had...but it did'nt mean that the friendship has ended. it was recommiting the whole friendship to Daddy, asking Him to protect it and me...my mind. i wanted to make sure that the whole issue will not affect me anymore. after letting go, i'm trusting God no matter what happens to it. when God calls or speaks, nothing else matters.
God takes the throne of your heart and everything becomes so much so much smaller.

More Than Conquerors
romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[a] who[b] have been called according to his purpose.
let us hold onto this beautiful promise. Amen!

* youth camp *
lifewire 2004
4 days 3 nights
150-14 campers (haha)
yoohoo! it's over~ it's like a major part of my life taken away. haha. *phew* glad that everything turned out fine for the whole camp comm. yeah, i'm sure all of us faced a 'mountain' of stress at some pt.

well, to some the camp was great, refreshing, happening, fun, etc. but to some it was'nt. to me, it did'nt matter. cos the camp was not for me =) i struggled a lot during camp. was down with a cold, stuffy nose and a bad cough. the feeling was just horrible. everyday i did'nt feel like doing anything, i just wanted to stone and nua away. heehee. i wanted to do a lot..for my team. but my energy level was at the lowest =P so i did the least i could, keep smiling and supporting my sister n TL.

i'm really glad to know the students at eyc better after youth camp. in the past, whenever i step into eyc , they are stuck to the computers. therefore, not much opportunity to interact with them. all of them are special in their own ways. uniquely created. precious. God's workmanship. i really pray that they will remember the day they accepted Christ, continue to stand firm, perservere and grow in the knowledge of God. i am looking fwd to see them trust God more and more in many areas of their lives.

everything else fades away...when u focus on Jesus.
