Thoughts to share..Some thoughts which I wish to share about the sub-zone camp that I have just attended last weekend..
1st of all, from this camp, I really get to experience and have a deeper encounter with God, through all the praise, worship and prayer sessions that we had.. Before attending the camp, my spiritual and hunger level was only like this.. After the camp, I really find that my spiritual level start to grow stronger, in terms of prayer during QT and reading the word of God i.e. the holy bible.. I also somehow started to feel God's calling in serving even more in my bus enthusiast CG. (okay from now on I just use the term CG, as we don't just come together and fellowship only but really it has becoming more like a CG itself..) Speaking of which, this coming Thursday night, I am going to meet up with some of my bus enthusiast brothers-in-Christ to have dinner/fellowship with them and after that find somewhere to settle down to share our thoughts/problems and pray about it.. Although things has been improving lately, but still... Our prayer time together, we could never ever neglect it..
2nd, from this camp, I get to see a lot of CG in my sub-zone which are younger than me.. All the while throughout the camp, whenever I look at the Team 2 members, sometimes I really feel like sighing... Somehow it reminds me of my younger days in the past, the lively spirit that I used to feel, now... About 2 week back, my age still starts with "1", but right now, it's no longer a "1" anymore. It's a "2" instead.. Gone were the days of my youth.. Missed it so much.. Got to meet Shu Wen (from Cecilia's CG) in person during the camp, and chatted with her for a while at night.. Later on the next day evening time, she chatted with me in MSN, and I shared with her about the points I mentioned above.. She also shared the same sentiments with me, just that for her CG, it is still not too bad, as in the fact that most of her CG members are under the age of 18..
She told me that she is 1 of the eldest member in terms of age, in her CG..
I told her that I am 1 of the youngest member in terms of age, in my CG...
And after that, I sigh to her, and she sigh back to me in MSN.. What I really wish to say is, for those who are still in their young teenage days (i.e. Secondary school level or below), you must really treasure this period of time a lot, for it will never happen again once you reach 20 years old and above, really... I wouldn't want to see anyone of you here, regretting about your youth days just because of a certain thing..
I also have certain thoughts regarding my big family of bus enthusiasts.. Somehow I just feel that I need to serve even more in this family.. Some of them, they really lack certain things in their own personal life, such as love, care and forgiveness.. Maybe they came from a different family background which has really affected them negatively a lot, and hence their character, their attitude and behaviour right now... Perhaps, our this small bus enthusiast CG, we can do something to really be able to touch their heart, show them the love, care and forgiveness like they have never received it before, let them know that this big family is not just about flaming and criticize and shoot people back especially in SG Forums... Every single day when I view at this forum, I have been sighing, and I have always want to see at least 95% peace in this forum, but I always fail to see that, every single day.. Once I get a guitar, perhaps......I really feel like organizing a kind of session/meet up with as many bus enthusiasts as possible, let them share their thoughts freely, and let all of us have a open heart to receive all the thoughts, and help one another in a great way.. I can visualize......The day whereby all of us sit down peacefully at a quiet place, and as I play the guitar to create the atmosphere, let the rest of them share all their problems that they encountered in their life, and receive advices and words of encouragement from one another...
Okay... Time to log off my laptop and go off to a quiet place somewhere near where I am right now... I just wish to have a moment of QT with the Lord, tell Him all my thoughts, and seek His guidance in all the things that I do... Take care everyone and God bless!~
