I have decided to follow Jesus

today is my only day in singapore before i fly off to japan. back to back trips are tiring, and i always feel like i don't have enough time in singapore. been having back to back trips every year since sec2 so i guess i'm kinda used to it. supposed to be packing now but here i am blogging away. guess i just needed to write all this down before i fly off. 

in all honesty, camp wasn't as amazing or mind blowing as i expected it to be. every camp i'd go expecting a powerful encounter with God and every year i'd get it during at least one service. but this year there was none. all my encounters were very touch and go, and i was quite disappointed. but yesterday on the ride home and at home i was thinking about it, and realised that it's all just the enemy's way of distracting me from all the other things i learnt during camp. i did learn quite a bit, esp during morning devotion and the first night's altar call prayers. and what kit said is true, sometimes we are so fixated on the experience that we fail to remember the other things that God wants to tell us about. when i was bathing yesterday, i felt closer to God than i usually do. so i guess camp was really just the beginning. also, i need to let go of past experiences because God wants to do something new in my life. if i keep clinging on to the past it's not going to help me receive new things from God. 

but anyway, i'm glad i got to know gloria and beverley so much better during camp! always saw them in the nus cell and never got a chance to talk to them. in fact i thought they were too smart and hard to click with. but they are really nice and funny!! i liked all our late night talks hehe. :> 

oh oh and i met charles and pop for bux after camp and they gave me a toffee nut frappe with unblended ice?!?! 2 huge ice cubes that took up half the space of a venti cup omg zzzzzzz >_>

so yup going for the last gem later and i hope more people go too!! last few times i'm going to see my current cell and i'm really really sad to leave the j2s sigh sigh sigh. and then i shall watch the heirs with hannah and then sleep and PACK OMG PACK. byebye.
