Second day, I had a hard time gathering and controlling all eleven of my group members as they were ultra active and devotion could not be carried out effectively. I also found myself facing challenges while working with Justin. I just thank God for Melody being there for me when I was really discouraged during games. And God taught me the more troubles I have, the more I should depend on Him. As I saw the smiles on the children’s faces, I prayed to God that in my weakness may His perfection be seen so clearly to these children and God spoke to my heart deeply. I also thank God for giving me the opportunity to witness Justin mature in the Lord and how he has been a great encouragement and huge help to me! :D
During the second night of the leaders’ meeting, Jeremy wanted us to confess what the problems we faced while working with our partners. I could not bring myself to say the truth and I felt helpless too. However, Jeremy showed me that in the mist of love, there can be painful times as well. I believe that God has spoke to every leader’s heart. As I saw Mark broke down before the Lord, it really blessed my heart. And thanks Jessica, Glenda, Elizabelle for all those encouraging hugs we shared yeah. :D
Lastly, God showed me clearly in this camp that LOVE plays a key role in relationships because it was God’s love for the world that He sent His son down to earth, and it was Jesus’s love for men that He died on the cross to bear our sins that in return we may also love the people around us so that their lost souls will be attracted to God! Cheers to God! (:
Psalm 55:22 says “Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you...”
Thank God for who He is and His sustaining grace carrying us through each day!
Truckloads of love,
Samantha. (:
