Through It All: Camp Cameron 2010, 'Give me life in Thy ways'

Psalm 119:37 says.. 'Give me life in Thy ways'. That's exactly what it meant to surrender all unto Him. His ways and plans are bigger that ours and I would say taking up the challenge requires obedience and trust. If it's not because of His plans, I wouldn't have a chance to go for this camp. I'm truly amazed and surprised by God throughout the 3 weeks of reflections in Camp Cameron :)Though it may sound like some discipline camp that lasted for many many days, but nono! It was a fun yet life changing camp for me!

Here are some names that highlight who GOD is in my journey..

God who SPEAKS
God who is FAITHFUL
God who is my PERSONAL ODYSSEY
God who RESTORE/REDEEM
God who CALM THE STORM
God who CHALLENGE & CHANGE
God who ENGRAVE MY NAME ON HIS PALM
God who STOP & INTERVENE
God who is a FOOL TO LOVE ME
God who DECIDES
God who PROMISES COVENANT
God who RUN THE RACE WITH ME
God whose GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR ME

We had Lectio Divina every morning and it's an eye opener to me as I experienced the God who speaks in silence. Staying alert early in the morning was kinda tough, moreover it was a new style of doing devotion with eyes closed and silence..isnt it the best time to fall into our dreamland again? One thing that keep me going is an example that says if one morning we are given the chance to meet some VIP, how would we react? We will definitely be well prepare and make sure we seize the moments. Same goes to meeting God in Lectio Divina, its an opportunity to meet Him face to face where we should also learn to seize this moment. That makes me set a reminder to myself that every lectio divina is very precious :)

Next, we have solid studies on the Chronicles of God and His Kingdom. Learnt about God's who creates us and our life begins in Him. Also learnt on the life of Isaac, Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph and how God fulfilled His covenant from generations to generations. Another highlight was on Redeeming Relationship where we are challenge to restore and redeem the forgiveness from God with one our friends, family,ourself and the world. I personally feel that this is the major highlight for me. I tend to sweep things under the carpet and it is only through Him, that breakthrough and restoration happen. Thank You Lord :)

W.I was an interesting learning session. We had discussions where everyone contributed something towards the passages given.I would give a *thumbs up* for the FES staff because they really put so much time and effort in setting up every scene in order to create better visuality as we dig into His word. Likeey!

Finally, these wonderful people made my day in Camp Cameron! Love you SEMBES,Chalet 9
