ALL THINGS NEW. YISS 2007

This camp has taught me so much. And it’s the best church camp ever.

I broke a leg, like literally. I injured a muscle in my right foot, so bad that going to the toilet was a torture.
Call it love for my participants, that I walked on in the entire camp.

I didn’t feel too good the first day. Just so much burden. SO MUCH. I wanted to cry non-stop. Blame it on jealousy. Blame it on myself.
I didn’t know what overcame me, maybe the devil. But I was filled with so much hatred.
How come others could do something so well and I couldn’t? How come others my age could do so much more?

I talked to Cass, and I got it off my chest. Felt alot better.

Second day was pretty good, I opened up to God and I felt the spirit working through me.
You know how different it feels to be TOUCHED by the Holy Spirit, and to have the Holy Spirit WORKING in you?
Very different.

Third day came pretty hard on me. That’s where I injured my foot. Walking was a chore (boy I sure missed being able to just walk without even realising I’m walking).

During one of the praise and worship sessions where I just felt like the most BLEAH things in the universe, God spoke to me in a LOUD yet GENTLE voice, saying “you know Nat, broken instruments work too.“
I took it literally, inferring that God really wanted me to just work for his glory that night (after all, I was an instrument of God, and my leg was broken).
I initially asked Cass whether I could minister that night, but worrying about my leg, she said “We’ll see”.

It was during the Spiritual Preparation when everyone in the room was just so anointed, it felt like PENTECOST at that moment. Prophecies, visions, affirmations just flooded the room. Jesus was on a ticklish mode too apparently. I laughed and cried at the same time. It was just AWESOME.

The amazing thing was that, I couldn’t even support my own legs to bring my up one flight of stairs, I had to resort to asking Gavin to piggy back me up.
When the outpouring of the Holy Spirit started, and I began to minister to people, I just felt the power of the Holy Spirit flowing through me. And guess what? MY LEG DIDN’T HURT ANYMORE (throughout the entire outpouring).

You know, as you read this, I just want you to know that God works in ways that we can’t comprehend.
You think I wanted this sucky leg of mine? He allowed for it to happen, so that I can stand here today and testify that HE IS REAL, and he’s ready to be real in all of your lives!

All you got to do, is just surrender everything to Him, and put everything at the foot of His cross. Your joys, your pains, your sorrow, your misery, your anger, EVERYTHING.

Yeah, the camp was so PERFECT. I don’t know how else things could be done, such as to make it any better.
The entire camp was so anointed with God’s presence. And the participants are getting better and better each year.

PRAISE YOU JESUS.

You know God, I would just like to thank you for this wonderful group that you’ve blessed me with.

SIMPLY AWESOME. Things couldn’t have gotten any better. I’ll upload the photos in another post.
Just praise God for this wonderful experience.

And suddenly, I just don’t want to go back to the mad rush of the secular world. If only I could stay in this pace forever, no stress, everything for God.

AMEN!
