Really, God was with us throughout the whole camp. I could really just feel His presence there, in a way that I've never felt before. The sermons by Pastor Dave, all 3 sermons spoke to my heart. It as though those sermons were made just for me, and God was telling me that 'Jas, listen. This is what I'm saying to you.' He knew what I was going through, and He knew exactly what I needed to hear, and He spoke to me through Pastor Dave. The first sermon was about 'Peace', and that night, I felt God's peace. Just this really calm, comfortable feeling. The second session was 'Confidence'. Not confidence in ourselves, but confidence in Him. Third session, was 'Surrender'. And this time, He really showed himself to me. Pastor called us for altar call, and I went. I wanted to surrender my problems, my life, everything, into His hands. And then Pastor came to pray for me, and as he prayed, he just knew things that he shouldn't have known, and I knew then God was speaking to me. He knows, He knows what I do, and yet He didn't judge me, He didn't condemn me. Instead, He called out to me, 'My child'. 'My child', oh gosh. God's love for us never wavers. He doesn't care how much we've sinned, how much we've pushed him away. His love never fades. And that is true love.
Other than that, it was a great time of fellowship with the campers :) It was nice to meet new people, and just get so close to them in just a few days. I was in Team Charmander, heh heh, and our team consisted of Adele, our team leader, Andrew, Jared, Basile, Pei Shin, Eugene, En Leang and me. We started off really badly in the games, and we were waaaaaaaaay behind everyone. But with teamwork when it came to the sports games, we managed to take second place! :D Also, we had 'Angels and Mortals', and I got John as my mortal. It was fun giving stuff and doing stuff for John, if only for his reaction xD My angel, whom I thought was a guy, turned out to be Kristal, whom I'd been telling about what I wanted from my angel. Serious dash dot dash weh -.- Had heart-to-hearts with the girls on both nights, especially the second night. We talked about anything and everything, from boys to our problems and about God. We sat on Ju Lynn's bed, talking about our most personal matters as though we've known each other forever, and I only went to sleep at about 5. Of course, I woke up late the next day, 15 minutes before devotion and had to rush. Oops :P
The best part of camp, I think, would be the second night. The altar call, seeing how He just touched everyone's hearts. Getting to extend our 'curfew', and we all stayed outside till 1.30 just talking and having so much fun in the night :D And once we got back to our dorms, us girls had our heart-to-heart talks.
This camp has just taught me so much. So so so so much, and I'm so glad that I went. Honestly, I didn't wanna go home.
It's gonna be hard, going back to real life where there are so many distractions and temptations, but I know I can do it. This time, I've surrendered to Him and with Him guiding me, things are gonna be okay :) I'm gonna put Him first and glorify His name.
He truly is a beautiful saviour.
