Hi Faithfulness!
Would like to blog about the CG retreat as i look back..
and i encourage u all to also leave an entry here for all to see..
tell us ur experience.. wat u felt was good and bad..
so we all can learn!
First of all..
i have learnt more about planning such a retreat/camp.. i'm so glad tat my experiences from prefects, student council, army and umad has enabled me to have a good idea how to plan for camps.. but it seems i still have much to learn.. even as many things were left last min.. things are always going to go wrong.. =) but we must all learn to deal with them as they come.. good example being the spoilt projector..
next.. i learnt more about my fellow CG leaders!! its really great to see everyone on the team so enthusiastic and helpful.. taking great initiative and showing much care and concern for the youths.. =) well done girls! hopefully planning for worship and games enabled u all to learn something as well..
i would like to also mention how proud i am of all of u.. coz it is actually the campers who make the camp a success!! u guys were cooperative and supportive of ur leaders.. extremely sporting during the games and generally fun to be with!!
thanks to Marvin and Marcus.. who deserves special mention for voluntarily helping up with the clean up of the areas without us asking.. Dong specifically asked me to praise u guys.. =)
it was also great to see how u guys took Silence and Solitude so seriously.. taking the effort to think and pray and answer the questions.. i also saw many of u reading the Bible and meditating on what u have learnt.. it really encourages me and i hope tat this discipline of Silence and Solitude can be transfered out of retreat and into ur own devotional life as well.. spending some regular quiet time with God helps us to reflect on God's goodness in our lives .. and also helps us to listen better to the voice of God.
i must praise the girls! i know u Hannah and Alex were really freaked out coz i was near them.. and Chloe as well coz i went back to see.. and i know just how hard it was to Jump.. when u didnt know how big the drain was.. or how deep it was.. it was just SCARY!! (i have gone through it before so i know!) It was particularly touching for me to see Hannah and Alex hugging each other after they jumped.. really brave of u guys to trust that the leaders will be there to catch u.. as i mentioned.. very often we have to Jump and trust that God can and WILL catch us.. it doesnt matter how far we can jump.. =) .. Marvin.. being the 1st in the long line.. deserved special mention also.. very brave.. =)
And also.. i think that Benjamin, Alex and Hannah contributed very well during our discussions.. =)
oh ya.. about serving one another.. (hope the feet washing wasnt too ticklish).. i hope u all remember the lesson k? indeed how blessed are we to be able to serve God and one another through the CG!
Chloe, even though i saw your gradual transition from quiet to noisy.. =) .. it was still rather shocking to see u so loud and outgoing suddenly.. i hope its coz u have become really comfy with all of us.. and u did a good job explaining Patrick during the fashion show...
all in all.. i really enjoyed myself!!
i would like ur comments okok?
things like best/worst meal
whether the venue is good and should be recommended for others to use..
