This message just touches me so much. it makes me feel whole and complete. this was what i expierienced during Encounter. It was so great. I thank God that i was able to go for it. made new friends and met new people and most important of all, meeting God and knowing him better. The burning of the sin list and encountering the Holy Spirit was such a breakthrough in my life. for all this time i've never really had a close relationship with Jesus. My christian walk was just like a routine. but now it has become my whole life. for i have died in this body and i now live in Christ and for Christ. Worship has never been the same as well. At first, Stella, Abby, Darren and I were really excited about the camp. we even got lost on the way. lol. when we stepped into salvation army, a whole sea of strangers whoom we have never met before were right before us. they we're from the Youth Service(not all). So on the first day it was really awkward, especially for Abby and Stella cause they were put in a group of total strangers, where as for me and Darren we were together with Emannuel. we did'nt really make any friends. it was on the second day of Encounter which we made friends. it was during the free time after games session at some big, beautiful wide open meadow some where in bukit timah. the sight was just amazing. and also to understand that such is creation comes from God =). Kevin(one of the guides) invited me and Darren to play a game of Citadelz with his group during our free time which we wanted to spend sleeping. but we decided to play anyway. a great game. we really enjoyed it that after dinner and lessons we played again till 12! thus we made good friends. there was Gerimi, Allen, Dominic and of course Kevin. then today we went to back to expo for youth service. awesome =D Encounter was just amazing. im glad i went for i would have regreted really badly. so after youth service i came home, almost sleeping on the train standing, tired. so i bathed and went out again to ECP to meet 6joy. Had BBQ! will post the pictures tomorrow(if im not tired from work & if i get them tomorrow). WORK!!! i have to sleep badly now so here's the video of the love message above if you are lazy to read.
http://www.fathersloveletter.com/video.html i truly advise you to read it AND watch it. =) Good night everyone!
