hey! this is the first time i'm bloggin n i'm giving my first time to u guys!
firstly, i wanna thank the Lord for the creation of this fellowship!
i've heard alot of compliments on how this fellowship is creating an impact in church because in here i've seen all of u being active in church and most importantly showing love to one another, breaking the gender barrier in the process. this is the foundation u need to construct in order to build the tower of which faith and action can be built, seen and admired. in this tower the Lord must be the main pillar of it, and all of us are jus bricks waiting to be cemented.
this is something tt is unprecedented in bethel. or maybe i havent live long enuff to see. and one of the most interesting thing tt i observed is the platonic relationships which u all have with one another, it's a major plus point because it's more effective to receive what God wants u to have and to give what God has given u. u guys are really growing in faith and action!
secondly, i wanna talk abt the church camp. the church camp is the most laidback camp i've been to. but it's the one which left me with the most impression because the topic discussions spoke rite into my heart.
as christians, we have to look forward and plan our lives wisely. i may sound like an economist, but this is the best way to optimize the time we can put forward for the Lord to use! but planning ahead, u can give out more time n energy for the Lord, u can see how God has been guiding u because every good thing tt happens to u is a blessing and ever bad thing is a blessing in disguise, think abt it!
and as youths to spend ur time doing the Lord's work is extremely rewarding! i can see some of the rewards tt the Lord has already given or waiting to be revealed! i've a everloving family, gf, church frens to support me in times of need, i've gotten a place in the course and university tt i've prayed for, and i'm still waiting to see more rewards for me because God promised us tt we'll have treasures in heaven! most impt reward is tt i'm able to recognize God's love and being able to walk with the Lord in the most depressing times in life! i dun really refer to ns actually haha
frm the talks, we also learn abt not criticizing and not bearing grudges( cant rem the 3rd one heh).
i wonder if u guys realize, tt christians do give thanks n encourage ppl often! tt's y i make it a point to learn to encourage ppl whenever i can. and giving is a form of blessing, an affirmation frm God follows! we must encourage ppl because we are looking at the postive aspects of life. our society lacks love and compassion, and quite alot of ppl dun have a chance to know tt they have a loving God. so as christians we have to live under a value added culture in the sense tt we add value to each other's life, be a product of God with positive externalities! do it with a sincere heart=)
and in the camp we learn abt how ppl in our lives touched and pointed us towards the lord and accompanied us in our christian life. they make an impact in our lives, can u think of some of em? do u want to be like em, drawing ppl closer to God? i'm fortunate tt i've shufeng, ah chu, ah kim, xiangyun( our old shao nian tuan qi mentor) , joyce, elder jye, rev tay, wenbin, yiren, and alot more to guide me when i was younger. thank God for em!
and of cuz during the camp we had alot of fun, we drank and ate alot too! haha quite sinful leh, i wonder how much weight i've put on hur hur hur hur hur. wake boarding was fun too! n i realized somebody can be such a pig, slp n slp n slp.. muahaha
alrite i'll sign off here first, will continue my part 2 sometime later!
love,
jose
