camp u.p.s.

december has come. yf camp has come and gone. way to fast. and i have to say. one of the best experiences in my life. many many impt lessons learnt. learnt also to speak up in a group. like massive and stuff. guess more comfortable. and used to losing my face - if there's any left- yeah. haha.

camp this year was diff. i guess. they used a whole new diff style to the programme and the way that things were run. such was the great-ness of the acting of the comm and the mentors. that. it fooled. all of us. right down to the most intellectual. hahaha. truly a bluff of the highest order. but it was only the bluff that would have put us in such dire state. more of the testing of characters and responding to situations. now thinking about it. it seems quite funny. we were cursing and complaining about the comm from the start. and now we realize. what a tremendous job they have done.

camp like whizzed by in a flash. so much activity. even if it meant just picking up the guitar with a small group of ppl and singing songs. or running about the campus or writing notes. we did plenty of walking too. all over the place. new friendships werre made. old ones made stronger. and the unity made by the bluff that we were gonna be kicked out of the campsite. i reckon it was dangerous too. if anyone in the camp had been rash. that was it. curtains=X but really love camp a lot. this year. the msgs were entertaining. funny. yet the msg got through. and the worship sessions were just amazingly powerful. brought energy into our tired bodies. though the rain may have dampened the spirit a lil.. made some ppl sick or weary. a tablet or two of redoxon helped a lot. hahaha. vitamin C. everyone drinking water. i guess. that helped. i left camp UPS. a better person.


so if i stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through
and if i cant let me fall on the grace that first led me to you
so if i sing let me sing for the joy that has borne in me these songs
and if i weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home



they were right. all along=)
