KaWanKu..


We were in my Uni's aquarium and i was looking at some Fish,
DUH,
What else to look at in an aquarium rite?
Hehe,
Well,
Like i said,
was looking at some fishes,
and then dear Sze ying came tugging my hand,
"Kor Kor Paulus, come come, look look!!!!"
She brought me to one of the tank and this was what i saw....
I was staring at it a while and just before i could think of anything,
Sze Ying:" Look Kor Kor Paulus, they are like Best Friends, giggle giggle giggle!!!"
I laughed and smiled not only because the way she said it was so funny,
but I totally agreed on the picture's message....
I just HAD to take a picture....
Friends, FRIENDS....
It's such a treasure and desire and NEED for all humanity....
Myself personally,
I've looked,
I've searched,
I've craved,
I've done stupid stuff,
for FRIENDS,
to be able to have them...
When i was younger,
it was like life and death...
Companionship was SUper important to me,
till a point where i could DIE...
And many times,
I admit,
that sometimes it happens to me still up to this day...
But more than quatity I look to the QUALITY of a Friendship...
To me,
I always believe friends are not just people you hang out with,
you spend time with,
you do stuff together with,
you share a common interest,
but as much as all mentioned,
is a friend that SHARES his LIFE with me...
These are friends I hold dearly,
so dearly to me...
They are the ones I really am encouraged by...
And honestly speaking,
I would not be able to move on in life without friends like these...
For the past year,
God has really been teaching me about learning to trust in Him,
and at camp,
he reminded me about how I should not be so influenzed and controlled by the desire of friends too much...
I'm learning...
BUt still,
Friends mean so much to me,
And i wont deny it...
It's just how GOd made me,
a guys who desires to
Connect,
Share,
and Go Through Life with....
I thank God for each of YOU!!!!

U tHeRe, U DaRe??

Praise God!!!
Praise Him for another camp...
This is my 7th one so far...
And till now,
I've never regretted going any one of them....
I mean,
people can say it's the same camp over and over again,
but then I always believe it's the attitude behind it,
it's how one approaches the camp...

THis year,
i thank God for the opportunity to be part of the committee...
It was hard work,
but it sure paid off...
I learnt so much,
struggled so much,
and believe that now,
I HAVE COME OUT STRONGER...
God really taught me a lot through this experience,
I was STRECTHED....

But apart from the challenge of preparing the camp this year,
God still challenged me....
He challenged me in many ways but mainly in 2 areas...

Firstly is when Pastor Daniel talked about fitting in,
about not wanting to feel rejected and by succumbing to peer pressure just so we can fit in....
He challenged all of us about how we should not cling on so tightly on the world's acceptance,
but on GOD...
HOnestly, this has been and still is one of the biggest struggles of my life...
I struggle so much to want people to accept me especially in my younger days that many times i dont realize i still do it now...
Sigh,
It's indeed a sad part of my life...
Many times even now,
I still just do things just so i can blend in with those close to me,
even though i dont really like to do those things...
BUt for this whole year,
God has been challenging me to find who i really am....
And be who He made me to be,
camp was an important reminder and confirmation on that...
As much as it is hard to overcome this,
In HIm I can DO ALL THINGS....

The second thing was when Aunty Dorcas prayed for me...
The challenge or Word for me was to bring the presence of GOd with me wherever I go,
and how do we do so?
We bring the presence of God when we learn to FEAR GOD....
My prayer is that more and more I would be able to bring God's presence whever I go to be able to usher his kingdom into places and people who are yet to be touched by HIm....

Overall,
I had loads of fun,
and it was fruitful,
apart from ministry and messages,
another thing i look forward to so much during camp is Friends,
and not just FRiends,
but Brothers and Sisters from all over the country that loves GOd....
To me,
being together with a brother or a sister in Christ just refreshes me....
Not only those from different towns,
but also those from Kluang...
It is just a relationship that gives me such goosebumps that trully is really really dear to me...
And I thank God for making new friends....
I pray we will continue to spur one another up for His Kingdom and HIS SAKE....
