Post Camp

It's been a slew of work since church camp ended! Especially with all the YE outings here and there! I personally don't think I'm very good at rallying people, but I guess I just have to try my best!

So far the first outing that happened was on Saturday, which was the YE ECP outing! It would've been nice if there were more people going, but I guess the group was just nice to cycle with, and there were a mix of people from different age groups so I'm satisfied! The weather was perfect! As for the next outing I'm a little more apprehensive because of the response so far... Seems like there may be not enough people but we'll see! :D It's an outing for God after all, to enjoy His presence around us and appreciate Him for the many leisure activities He provides for us! This outing is for Him! :D

On to church camp! I came with a mindset of relaxation, wanting to have times of rest before God. I somewhat achieved it, but I think that wasn't God's plan for me in this camp! It was to serve just like how Jesus served, and I did my best praying for my peers. On the last night I stayed up all the way till morning, until around 4-5am I spent time playing games and chatting with people, but after that came the serious stuff. I sat around the pool in darkness, wanting to listen to God's voice.

I was asking for His heart for YE and the situation we're in! We're improving, but still have much way to go in terms of spirituality. But God told me this: In the story of Naaman he was told to go down to the river Jordan and wash 7 times to be rid of his leprosy... And in that time of solitude I feel that God was telling me the time of washing of YE is not done yet! We'd only started washing, but the journey is yet longer... So I shall  have patience!

Well coming back from camp I've now got to speak for 1 more YE session, so shall spend this week planning that. The leader's training syllabus is still pending approval, and I can't wait to roll it out! Shall wait in anticipation! :)

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and ...

Gamble

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge. De...
