Though relatively short, it was the biggest, and most enjoyable camp that I have participated in. Could really see that the people were really engaged in the activities, including the new friends. It's really by God's grace that this BGR camp was such a success, looking back in Jan, where the response was really lukewarm at best. Saw that many of our teens have really grown, the 6 of our fellowship of the ring in the teens guys are all group ic's, taking care of the younger ones, and that's really great. The girls have also displayed great maturity in the things they do, I think it's something that nobody should take for granted. I think we should give thanks for their strong spiritual growth, that is inherent even in my sis, after only about what, 1 year in RYM?
Certainly learnt many new things, and clarified alot of my doubts.
I guess sometimes we tend to live by the standards set by the society, by our peers; what we should be doing and stuff like that. But the strong message that resonated in me is that we live not by the standards of others, but according to His standards. It may not be easy, but I think its the right thing to do. Those who attended the camp would agree.
The most satisfying part during the camp would be the group performance. Amazed by the... 'stunning' performances of some of our sisters. I never knew people like Shumin could be so... how do you put it... so menacing, to the point that it frightens me a little. Oh well, I guess the camp really unleashes the beast within us. Besides group performances that rocked, would be the overnight captains ball games. Played like 8-9 matches at least throughout the night. Surprisingly I didn't feel like a walking zombie at 5am in the morning, after 4 hours of captains ball.
Have to thank god that I grew up in renewal, or else I would have never been able to feel that sense of family warmth, that I experienced throughout the 3 days. It's hard to put in words.
Well, my head is still heavy. May write more later.
