Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.

OCF Winter Camp 2008: The Pursuit
OCF Winter Camp 2008 is over
But the Pursuit of God is never over
Camp was awesome!
Prayers were answered and God moved in this camp.
He provided so many things for us, like the campsite itself, Mt. Morton Lodge at Belgrave. Cosy area with a good hall and bunks (toilets were great!), plus it even had a pool table where quite a number of us congregated towards.
God knew what He was doing, and it taught me a lesson to have faith in Him in whatever He does.
Friday night was interesting enough during altar call. Something personal happened to me and it was a release, though initially I thought it was something impulsive, but it wasn't. I pray that I can keep on conquering fears and overcoming it day by day.
I think people enjoyed themselves a lot, as I have enjoyed it as well (although I keep on whining about my sleeping hours, as I did sleep for only 4 hours each night/morning and ran around on days, it doesn't really matter in the big picture or the impact of it all).
This camp felt different, probably because of being in the committee and helping to prepare and run it. Still I've gained so much more, so much more than I could possibly expressed. So all I can do is just...
THANK YOU GOD!
and a big shout out to the rest of the committee members, Faith, Justin, Evone, Celina, Kang Wei, Nori, Andrew and Voon...not to mention the support of Ivie and the OCF Clayton committee, plus those who helped made this camp run smoothly - gamemasters, worship team, kitchen hands and speakers too!

Hope Church's message on Sunday totally coincided with the winter camp theme. Same passage used too: Exodus 33 + 34. I was smiling at God the whole entire time.
Visited Planetshakers City Church as well for their 3pm service. It's not bad, although I don't sense the culture shock. Only thing I was unsure about was when of the 'new visitors' time, and everybody got up for a standing ovation. I didn't know what to do, so thought I had to stand up as well, and while I was halfway up from my seat, Jon.R had to go slap his forehead and then I got it. So I laughed...an embarrassed but take good fun kind of laugh. The whole thing was good. Almost all of the songs sung I do not know, but I could catch quite easily. Typical Australian style.
Anyway, need sleep now. Volunteered to help out in Orientation for the 2nd Semester, and there's training in the afternoon.
Nighters.
