i didn't just survive th desaru camp, i had the time of my life! (:
state of the place was a little shocking initially, i'll save you the details.
games were quite sick but some i must say are fun! games are not easy to plan or coordinate so i seriously applaud the committee!

But Doug Lasit, the speaker, was really good. this camp felt a lil' different from the other camps i've been to. i really learnt ALOT from the sessions. it was alot about purity, standards and convictions- which i seriously think i needed a check for. it caught me on how we often make peace with our compromisations and not actually be at war with it. have been pretty much desensitized tt i dont realise the compromisations and trades i've been making; or maybe it has even helped me alot in feeling less "bad" about stuff i do tt aren't pleasing to God. yup so it was more lyke a time of consecration and seeking god for a desire to know him and love him more tt i'll wanna live in a manner tt's worthy and pleasing to him.

"NO SERVANT CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS. EITHER HE WILL HATE ONE AND LOVE THE OTHER OR HE WILL BE DEVOTED TO ONE AND DESPISE THE OTHER.
Luke 16:13

i can feel like he's started his work in my heart and the hearts of many. (: i was telling some roomies about how i struggled alot to not conform to the world. but somehow god has been showing me how the world will actually fade away and actually nothing on the earth actually matters? years compared to eternity? tt reminded me of the only thing that really matters. and i know now, tt its all gonna be worth it, no matter what.

spoke quite abit bout relationship and marriage during the camp. an encouragement, an assurance, a direction for me. so many things i wanna do, so many things im excited about now. the mountain top sure sounds thrilling. but like doug said we gotta learn to live beyond! truth is, i'm back in Singapore, my battle ground, reality(the valley). and the journey has barely begun. but yea, with god on our side, we are gonna cross the jordon river to our promised land. (: temptations are very real, and tries hard to toy us day to day but yea, god help me to rmbr to guard my heart.

im holding on tight to your promises and your grace, cos i know tt this is the only thing tt can satisfy, tt can fill the void, and last forever. its gonna be a fun journey and im ready to set off! (:
