안녕하세요저는숙령입니다

It was 12.46 am on the 4th out of 5 days junior camp held in church.(fell asleep while typing this this morning.)

........

While everyone is sound asleep, I've decided to type about camp since my blog looks really boring with many entries about my non-exciting life. One thing good about helping out at junior camp is that I get lots of chances to interact with the small little ones which I think is my favourite hobby as I totally LOVE kids!! I just like who they are; innocent. Actually I do envy them sometimes for being so innocent in terms of words used and thinking. Only if I could turn back time(which is totally impossible!!) then things wouldn't be so darn complicating for me to comprehend. But then again, if I don't ever grow up, I will never learn any thing new which can be very valuable in life. Taking Pastor's lessons for example. They are very nourishing all the time especially when I feel all alone or when something bad had happened.

Being at junior camp is not all about helping and cleaning after the kids. The helpers too get to take home many meaningful lesson taught by Pastor himself during the morning and evening devotions these few days. The text being used is from 1 Timothy and the topic is about this thing is service(what we are doing now). Service took a whole new level for me these 4 days. Firstly I learnt that serving itself is not at all the same as serving God. I never knew service was so deep and that it has lots of 'read out of the box' kind of thing to that one simple 7 letters word.

I will not bore you guys by typing every single lessons which I have learnt so far so I will just talk about what impacted me the most. So here goes.

What impacted me the most was about being a pattern(an example) to others, for this case the kids who are in camp or even the younger helpers. This lesson reminds me about T&B camp I had 1 week ago and this speaker called Ramesh asked us about being an influence. For me, I think it is very important to be a good role model/example/influence to the people around you especially the young ones as they will be the future of the country(WOW!! Sounds like a really major thing, well it is). So I will seek to do so. Be a good example to the people around me.

Although time and time again, I will get the sting eye from certain people, I constantly remind myself that the one I'm serving is the Lord himself and no others. Thus there isn't a need for us to throw tantrum or feel bordered about. Honestly I should be grateful that I can even serve in this ministry since they have rejected many people who wanted to serve in junior camp.

But I really do miss my bed!!! So I've decided to take a super duper long power nap when I get home from camp.

Love <3
