I'M BACK FROM 
ahh, it was an amazing camp!
it felt different from the other camps though.
and it's not just cos this year i'm not a camper.. but the overall feel was just different..
haha i dont know how to explain though.
i hope everyone still had fun :D
first day was amazing race, and boy am i sick of dunkin donuts!
HAHA. everyone says it's really good but i didnt think so.
it's just okay, but not SOO good.
hahaha i got donuts for others too and had special delivery to theo and joycelyn!
HAHHA! thanks to the campers :D
kristal and dor accompanied me!
and i stayed there for like, 7 hours?
HAHA! i almost died. lol, it wasnt that bad but i was stuck on the same seat! HAHA
anyway the camp was really fun :D
i think some parts were disorganised.. but oh well. i think we all did the best we could.
hahha, and i think that though the camp wasnt as unforgettable as the other camps, spiritually, it was really good.
we did a LOT of praying this camp.
much more than the past few camps.
although the ministery night wasnt as long and as huge as i expected, God still moved and worked in us all!
or at least i felt Him moving in me.
esp during the last night's worship.
before that, ben had a workshop, something about worship.
it was about 1 hour long and the whole thing was prayer.
and cos prayer we always close our eyes right, then when i did, i fell asleep!
sigh ): cos i was really just super tired.
i was a bit sad though, cos i couldnt pray and couldnt concentrate.
but then i rmbed what pastor always says and that is the place to rest is in the presence of God.
or smth along those lines.. hahah
anw i slept for like, 30-40 mins!
i think. and then we prayed quite alot.
after that, during rehearsal, we also prayed w the worship team and w pastor B.
and the day before, we prayed alot too.
like, with another person or at most 2 more other people and pray together what you feel God is promting you to.
i feel like this year camp, we tried alot of things we never did.
all these prayer stuff that really tested your courage and faith.
it's like, you have to be daring and with faith then you'll do it.
hahaha so yeah, this camp was spiritually really good (:
but i slept like, ALOT during the prayer times.
first was during ben's first worshop and 2nd was his 2nd workshop.
hahha, why do i keep sleeping in his workshops?
but it's always during prayer time only.
but i'm glad God still spoke even when i slept!
hahaha. cos the first day, when i woke up i was like, oh no, everyone's going back to the room already! so i faster close my eyes and kept reading the verse continuous to let it sink in again so that i can pray.
after like, 3 secs, this guy walked over and he was like, "rachel?"
i was supposed to be getting ready to pray. but i dont know why, i just like, went "yeah?"
and then he read psalms 40 to me. and he said v1 was the thing that striked him most and i was like, omg me too! cos it really did. and then he asked, have you been asking God to give you something, and i was like, ... yeah, kind of.
actually the answer should be YEAH! OMG how do you know?
but i was really shocked he knew so i said yeah kind of.
hahhaha, and then cos bel and i went to the toilet first so we headed back into the room late and after joining this group by the door, bel and i took turns to share.
cos i guess the rest have already shared way before we came in.
and so happened that he and i shared the same thing.
it's like, whoa.
hahaha.
last night was amazing too :D
i'm not sure for everyone, but to me, yeah!
hahah. cos at first we were all nervous about it cos we had only 15 mins of rehearsal and the song set changed a bit.
but i dont know why, i wasnt really nervous.
i think it was cos of all the prayer we had.
so the night went on.. and i was really worshipping God wholeheartedly.
and somehow, some parts of the song i played, i really dont know how i played it!
as in, i could sort of hear it and i felt that it sounded nice, but i really didnt know how i played it out.
it was really, indescribable.
the night's worship was really more than we could ask for, given the amount of practice we had.
and i think, God really answered my prayers.
like, looking back at all the things i prayed for and did in the camp, it all linked up!
like, i chose the verse from Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say unto you, What things you desire, when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you shall have them."
so i was actually praying for my keys stuff. and i also prayed for confirmation.
and somehow, the verse the guy showed me and what actually happened on the last night, actually confirmed all of this.
it's like, whoa, i never imagined God would answer my prayers within 2 days.
i thought it would take longer.
but you know, God works in ways we never expected and yay! for that i rejoice :D
some pics after camp broke:
HAHAHA justin is crazy! more on fb :D
   on the last night i slept at like, 3-4am! so altogether for the past 4 days at camp i slept a total of.. 11 - 12 hours? hahahha. omgg. so yesterday when i got home at 4+, i bathed and slept from 5 to this morning 7! HAHAH, and that was because my mum woke me up. otherwise i'd prolly slept longer. i also realised that this whole camp, the camp comm only did morning call on ONE morning! HAHAHHA. i didnt even do a single one, instead i think i woke up late. :/ but camp was FUN! and i love the starfield song :D ahahha! being in the camp comm is really a fun experience! (: okie i have to go practice my songs now for rehearsal later. :D bel: the rest of the pics are up on fb! :D Labels: ray
