Sec 1 leaders retreat.20 june 2010
Neo: weakling
Sec 1 leaders retreat was really a great time. It was really well placed and timed. and i thank God for it.
haha love the survivor game on the last night was really fun. This is how i pictured my cell group to be. I really thank God for bringing me to Faith. Methodist. Finally somewhere that feels like home. ok not finally as in finally at the sec 1 leader's retreat. But yeah for i think the past 2 years.
Day 1: Went to leroy's house to practice the bass. Watched a recap episode of myth busters. I like the myth busters team. lol. I wouldnt mind being stuck on a island with them. And there really is cheap food at leroy's place. After that went home to pack my stuff and headed down to church. Yong zhi was a bit pissed at the fact that all the ocean leaders were late. wow moment. Met leroy and gail. went to get dinner. Ate at the pantry. Mund came along. Looks like he is getting back in the shape of his glory days.
Went upstairs. Sang songs. Hannah time of teaching. Learnt a couple of things from that session. Found out more about Yi peng and Hannah. lol it was sweet. You got to admit that. Mos important thing i learnt from her session was on how we as humans constantly need to be filled from God. If not how is it possible for us to give to others. And yeah the analogy of hitting the cup until it breaks in search of water, which was never inside in the first place. I totally get that.
That seems to be what im going through now. Emptiness in my own cup but still wanting to give out to others even though there is very little water in my cup and just really doing it out of my own strength, which will one day cause my own cup to break.
Which seems to be the theme these 2 weeks. About letting go, surrendering it all to God and really just having a meaningful relationship with him.
Yeah but that aside, it was really touching and heart warming to see my fellow leaders and friends all being touched by God during Hannah's session. It was just so heart warming to see them wanting God to work in their lives and just seeing God loving them. Tears. It was then I was reminded that everything is going to be ok. That God is working even when we dont see it, or dont ask for it.
After that had the practice session. Felt that i wasnt ready. Wanted to do something. But didnt know what. So i ended up doing pretty much nothing before sleeping. oh but i did sit and heard some interesting things said about tongues that night. And alicia can sing. That was a eyebrow raising moment for me.
Woke up the next morning. Aircon was cold. Had to use like my other two shirts to cover myself. Dam knew that i should have brought the jacket. I always think that its going to be ok. since i got my fats and cause i survived sabah. Agrh.... ok the next time i have a camp, im going to bring my jacket.
Had a nice shower. I love showers. I love water. lol
The next lesson was taught by yi peng. That was another good session of sharing.
after that had the food challenge which my team won. Tacos are nice. I think i shall make one tmr. Since i have a cold storage near my house.
After that was yong zhi's session. Which was very enlightening for me. Yeah thats all i guess.
