Today is the first day of our uni church camp, aptly themed " Finding Fishermen's Friend". Apparently they had a cooking competition in the afternoon and dinner, followed by praise and worship and finally Pastor Jeff's teachings.Thank God we, refering to da and i, managed to arrive at the chalet before the start of the praise and worship. This was despite being at the mercy of a taxi driver who drove like there was no tomorrow. It was really a harrowing experience being in his car, kind of like being in a rollercoaster, only on the ground level.
Anyway, we managed to get to Aloha Changi at around 745pm and i was really in a mean mood. Tired, bothered and basically listless, i didn't feel like involving myself too much. Still, God is so great that he refreshed me and really flooded my mind with many thoughts as we were praying.
There was the lesson again about faith, where he impressed upon my mind many different situations, with paths, in all of which i refused to move further on because of faithlessness. Yet when i chose to follow through in the last scenario, i reached a door, which opened to a wonderous sight of serenity and beauty that was beyond words. I had half expected darkness or even the usual green grass meadows that people associate with happy thoughts, but i can remember vividly that when i saw the tranquil morn/twilight sea; the twinkling skies, like diamond scattered on blue velvet, the brush of colours that filled my sight, i just stop short, my breath caught in my throat.
How much can the Lord offer us if only we trust in Him. I just really want to take on this challenge to stay faithful to the Lord. I know i've often mentioned how i falter and how i suddenly regained my faith after some special service. Often these bouts of faith are short-lived. Still, if God did not give up on me and wants me to learn this lesson because it is so important, who am i to say that i want to give up?
I also saw a vision of roots, at first short and covering only a small area of space, when we were closing our CG prayer . However, after that, the roots grew really big and were intertwining with each other and holding each other up. I think that God might be trying to indicate that we may be small roots now, but we'll be able to grow and spread beyond to reach out to more people. However, why the analogy of the roots? Maybe it could be idea of connections?
Oh well.. just thankful that God is always faithful!Sleepy sleepy.. Pray that i'll be able to go off early tomorrow from work~!
Blessed Ciaoz!
