It feels good to be touching Facebook and twitter again but they didn't quite seemed to be as interesting as before. Sigh but thank God for showing me that fasting works! :D Because for the three objectives, in Faith I believe I have fulfilled them all. ^_^
REAP camp is great! I get to sing P&W songs aloud and as much as I could, made new friends from other districts during Acts of Love and the Unexpected Season, bond with my LG girls with our late night talks about boys (HAHA) and also most importantly, I felt God's presence really strongly. ^_^
The Unexpected Season game was really good, thumbs up to the game masters who planned this game. It really shows the importance of the unity of one church, and the importance of keeping guard away from false prophets and of course, to protect the church as a whole family! Haha it was like a running man style and it was really fun!
Although the hall was really small and so squeezy where everybody have to literally touch each other when sitting on the floor, God's presence was really strong!! I feel so loved when having P&W, and during prayers God seemed to talk to me because I cleared many doubts!!!! Everything I've been doubting seemed to make sense after the camp haha. Thank God ^_^
& Lastly, I wanna thank God because the camp ended late and my dad was already screaming at me to get home quick to have family dinner and I got to rushed via cab and waste my $20 and feeling scared while thinking of possible consequences such as remarks like "church more important than family" BUT when I reached there, though they were already halfway through the dinner my dad did not scold or scream at all!! ^_^ He even waited at the junction for me in case the uncle alight me at the wrong place, saved a lot of food for me and asked me hows camp. Hahaha love my dad and of course, God!
Anyway when I was out with clique 09 just now I pondered a lot, not just by the shocking news I've heard but I start to question about how vulnerable "Faith" is to humans, when temptations got so overwhelmed that Humans chose temptations rather than God. Not only that, I believe the world isn't corrupted. It is the people who sinned made it corrupted. God created it beautifully, but as God give us feelings and emotions in order not to be robots, Satan used it to take control over us and we sinned. Whats with the "fat means ugly", the "I must look pretty/handsome to be accepted by society", the "I must get a degree to have a better future" and the "I must be better than this person"? These are all temptations, Satan's work. They are all lies of the devil. And we fall into it because we think we HAVE to in order to survive in this world.
On the other hand actually we could turn Satan's temptations into something good, such as "I will do my best to get better results, I will do my best to dress up nicer and look healthier, because I want to Glorify God?" Not only life would be happier, but also we will really grow stronger with God.
Temptations that I'm surviving before I accept Christ, God will save me out if I believe. :)
