CEC Camp 2010
During December 4-6, our church held a Secondary School Camp for all the forms. Suffice to say, it was awesome :DOn the 1st day:
I arrived slightly tired, there's something between me and waking up early that despise each other. Got there slightly nervous for the registration. Met all my friends and felt slightly lighter... and the rest they say is history :) Had the most fun during praise and worship, learning more about Him:
Didn't know that running in the rain while getting hosed down would be so.... FUN *grins*
For the first two days of camp, we finished at 10. For the third (and last day) we finished at 6 (FYI)
2nd day:
All of us had to prepare a presentation for our parents when they arrived at 7, because there was a potbless and also, it was a Family Night.
While being very nervous for our presentation, everyone had a blast during the potbless:
This was while waiting for the potbless to start, yeah, I know, most of us look hungry and blur xD
But we had tons of fun and what better experience to have than eating with family and friends while laughing? Family and friends really are great Gifts of God :)
So, IT WAS TIME FOR OUR PRESENTATION *dramatic music*
We had lotsov-Phan rehearsing but now it was time to present:
P.S: The other groups skits, dances and performances were also very, VERY good :D
I particularly loved Group 1's skit "Are you willing to die for God?" Awesome :D
But it wasn't only all fun and games, it was also a time of worship and praise... getting to know Him better and I tell you, God is good and He is Great *AMEN!*
If your faith is enough to sustain you, you will find out that He really does love you as His own child and that miracles happen when you put all your trust into Him :) Take it from someone who has already experienced it. Feel free to ask me what I went through, but please, don't ask me to EXPLAIN it, because if I do, you will not only not understand me but you will also find it un-plausible IF you didn't experience what I did. Point blank: You have to feel it to believe it.
Not that I didn't believe, I just didn't know.
Tally on to the 3rd day:
I think I'm more 67 years old than a 14 year old because I forgot to mention that we also had a "Guardian Angel/ Mortal" game. This game requires you to wrap up a box, such like this:
While doing so, we could also write down notes of affirmation to all our friends or basically everyone and prasie them on they're good points to remind them why they were a Gift from God.
It's a really great game and by the end of it, I felt elated and happy that people noticed all of my qualities that I didn't ever realise before, I mean, seriously, would you ever notice if you had a great smile unless someone told you so?
Well, sadly, the camp had to end and we all had to leave the comfort and sanity of the Church walls to go out and face this world (dramatic, I know, but what's life without drama? xD)
Not only did I leave the camp much more lighter and happier than I had ever felt before, I also left the camp as a woman of God whose job was to be a Gift of God to everyone around her. And with also a lot of friends made (just had to add that :d)
God is good and He is great ♥
The memories that I have made at this camp will be cherished, and I hope that tons more of people get to experience His love in a much more stunning clarity rather than what they are used to.
Goodbye and take care,
Tennielle :)
P.S: Thank you Father for sharing with us the Within Temptation "Memories" song. I am now in love with it :D
