Genesis 22:1-14

and so, this is my 9th and last YTF/GTF/YF camp. i praise and thank God for answering our prayers by bringing so many youths to camp ths year. because this time it wasn't just the YF, but many galilee youths (i don't really like calling them non-YFers actually), who attended this camp on "True Friendship", it's been a really special camp to me. from just 3 who signed up, the no. of campers went up to 34, by God's grace, on the day before camp. i really enjoyed this year's camp...actually because of the younger campers. as i stood there with auntie amy during last nite's bbq, looking at the campers mingling & talking excitedly by th pit, she pointed out to me "how good it'll be if all these ppl here belonged to the YF". at tt moment, our camp theme verse from psalm 133:1, suddenly became so real to me. "behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" i thank God for the bond tt we've built among us over the 4 days, or maybe even past 2 weeks cos of ss camp. tho camp is now over, i pray tt these youths will remember the lessons they learnt on true friendship and seek to be a true friend to others, esp their brothers/sisters-in-Christ here in galilee! like what daryl pointed out, may we all not ignore one anor on sundays anymore, but stop to talk to one anor. i pray too, tt one day, we'll all be able to truly see ourselves as ONE family of God, sharing not only our happiest moments but bearing one anor's burdens.

feels quite sad sitting here in front of my ibook actually. i wished i were at camp with my friends...but honestly, it isn't my supposedly closest friends whom i wanna be with right now...i don't know why, but i've been feeling so left out around them these days...and i can't help it. the ppl whom i least expected to enjoy myself with, were the ones who really made me happy and enjoy this 2 camps...i guess nobody can help me...all i pray now is for myself to remember tt even if nobody cares or understands, God does...
