my testi about camp (Joy)

I converted on 18 Feb 06 ... being a 'joker' for more than half a yr before God really changed my life through my first camp (at NUS). Last time, i was the worst ever sheep, really ... ask my shepherd (Andria)... how she suffered from me. THough we were classmates, i hated her for so long. it was becos she accidentally called me Dung (shit) 3 times. I didnt talk to her, ignored her, she wanna sit besides me then i stood up and changed seat. I was so childish doing all these things (like playing hide n seek haha). And i was very stubborn and proud cos i thought that why should i listen to her. and nobody did believe i could be changed one day ... nobody except God.

At first, i didnt wanna come for camp. i told Chantel, my cg :'If Andria comes, i will not come!'. That showed how bad i was. but thank God, Chantel kept encourage me to give it a try. at last, i came unwillingly. And guess wad, i was so emo ... so self-centered n i locked myself in the room n tried to gain attention. Then while everyone enjoyed the camp, i felt sad and wanna went back home. But God did miracles in my life in His own way - the way i am never be able to know.

I still rmb the date - 8th June 06. when Pastor Shirley asked us to come up to the leaders to be annointed n prayed for. i followed the crowd cos my cg everyone went to be prayed for. Jasmine (the East JC unit leader) prayed for me. and i didnt noe why ... for goodness shake ... my tears just kept falling down ... gosh ... couldnt believe i cried. then God really spoke to me dat moment. He asked me to change : to be less hot tempered, to be less self centerd, to be more loving, to be more joyful, to be ....And God touched my heart.

Then guess wad ... after that i was finding my shepherd. n i said sorry to her for all the things i had done in her life. i bet she was shocked. her eyes rolled dont noe how many times haha. if u dont believe me, she can testify haha ...

That'how God really changed me big big time. I am still very imperfect now obviously. I m still hot tempered, still sin blah blah ... But looking back at my life, i am just so amazed by how much God can change a person like me. And if God can change me, why not you????!!!

Camp is really a time for life transformation ... for growth ... for bonding ... for everything. And if u miss the camp, u will miss out a lot. so i hope those who havent registered for camp will give it a try. And if u think u cant afford the camp, tell me or ur cg members. I believe each of us whose went for camp before has experienced God in our very own way. We can testify that's great. Is it so cheap to transform ur life with just $120??!!!

In the infinity line, life is a scratch... dont forget who are we and what are we doing becos we only have 1 life to live. Live for Jesus :)
