After Camp Thanksgiving

Camp is over. I have forgotten whether I have looked forward or dreaded it before it started, but I sure am glad for the one week of experience. It has been an extremely fun time though a busy and tired one. (I discover that I can be so driven that I dun need rest nor food. Maybe just a bit of rest, not too much.) Anyway, this is my first thanksgiving to God, that He sustain me through out the whole camp, without rest and much food, just alot of His grace and empowerment.
Second thanksgiving is for God to carry thru my msg. I guess there are lots that I can improve on, seriously I dunno how I did, but the feedback is that its good and people are minstered. Honestly, I feel that I didnt really connect with the teens, mayb connect more w the laborers. So in conclusion, I can teach small grp , n not such a big grp!! At the same time, I am glad tt people enjoyed the games and there are 2 teens who mentioned that my message stood out to them. As long as it bless one person, it is worth it all! Thank you God...
Third thanksgiving is for the way God place the teams together. KY put me in charge of the teaming, seriously it was a stressful job. But somehow I got the many feedback that the teaming was good and somehow the team jus work well together, and the leaders complimented one another. My team Joash is also like this. Vincent is the more stand out and talk kinda leader, while Rach is the more shy leader who would work behind the sceen and take note of the details (though I must say Vincent is also pretty detailed minded.) So both of them jus complimented one another! Wei Chin on the other hand, is a great supporter. He is supportive of Vincent's leadership and will be with him and handle a task together. He will also give ideas and be a good discussioner with Vincent. (though this wld also mean that Rach wld be left out of them in tt sense.)
Anyway, they are jus a great combi! There were some minor hiccups at the beginning, but to the grace of God who gave the sopirit of teachability to Vincent, he changed and the challenge was overcome! I am so thankful for that. As for the team as a whole, Tsz Kei and Abrie are quieter, the boys are more interesting. So happy that Ben and Louis believe in Jesus during the camp! Glory to God. This is one of the few camps where I cant bear for the camp to end. I had so muz fun at the camp w the team exp with Vin n WC, they are so funny! I really pray that I have bless them w my life and teaching too! At the beginning of the camp, I set myself the objective that I want to get to know 2 more leaders at the camp and know them well. Perhaps I have started to know them a lil bit, and pray that there wil be more opportunites in the future.
Thru the camp, I learnt one thing, that is if you ask about the people's family, you will discover many more things about them. You may even discover y they are behaving in a way that they are etc. I hv asked 5 of my team members abt their family and I feel that I know them so much more. I am beginning to think that, to help a person effectively, you need to know their family.
In the camp, i realised that I have kinda neglected my girls, such as Rach, Char, Ruth, Eunice and Samantha. Guess I am so busy w the new people and the team that I did not get enuff time w them. Sorry girls!
Prayer for today: May God seal all that we have learn in the camp and use it to transforms our lives.
