so sunday night Cherri was over to stay for the night. anything is better than travelling half of singapore to reach clementi at 7am the next day.
slept later than intended but i woke up right on time anyways. got ready and everything, and we cabbed down to clementi macs to meet the rest who were all apparently late save alex, ming, amy..
the excitement just somehow hadn't set in for me yet. i was just agreeing emptily to everyone who came up to me and went "WAH! OMG! IT'S TODAY LEH!"
and i'd just reply without much feeling, "yah man! it's so fast. i'm so excited."
nothing much about the bus ride. slept alot though, and we didn't get to eat A&W! =( oh well i guess KFC wasn't that bad either. (:
i didn't know why i wasn't excited. i didn't know why i didn't know what to expect. i didn't know why i wasn't expecting much.
i just knew one thing; this had to change.
camp's come once a year and the coporate anointing of camps are.. one of a kind. i wasn't going to pay $220 just to say that i'd been there to sleep in a malaysian hotel.
sharing on the bus from steve, kaijin and jolene. kaijin's sharing somehow made me tear a little, but i was still feeling a little empty and lost. the "umph" just wasn't there.
tried to hype myself up with memories of how fun the previous three Teenzeal/Dare camps had been for me, how amazing and how heartfelt and how life changing they were.
but it didn't work. nothing worked.
i was so agitated, so frustrated.
"come on God. i can't just go for camp like that. i want to be enjoying this to the max. i want this camp to be special, to be one of a kind, and i want this camp to change my life like never before."
so we reached the hotel, got our room keys, sat through a brief briefing (haha) and went back to our rooms.
(ahh by the way rachevan i lovelovelove)
called yongjeee to come pass us the guitar and us three girls started having a little praise and worship of our own.
(: a little while later, some of the guys came over. i think ming, yongjee, sam, larry, zhengy. the praise and worship got a little more intense and i just told the people to pray if they felt like it.
be it for the camp or for the leaders or themselves, or each other. and we started praying in tongues for abit before i started the ball rolling by praying for the camp.
hehehh it was really in faith lah, because at that point of time i still wasn't feeling anything about camp at all, though i was already there. it was kinda weird, but i continued praying anyways.
more people prayed, and suddenly i just felt like i had to pray for yongjeee. it's like i literally felt like i was going to explode. i couldn't contain it any longer and before long the words just started to come out of me.
i spoke and spoke and i don't even know what i said. but it was good.
yongjeee later shared with me that those words were really all he'd needed to hear, that he was really refreshed after the prayer.
rach shared with us about a vision she saw while i was praying over yongjeee.
then it just hit me, that HEY if a small little praise and worship in our little room could be that powerful, what more the entire camp?
that if Daddy could move within this small group of friends, what made me think He wouldn't within the entire Campus Ministry?
it would be even better.
it would keep getting better.
nothing could hold us back if we wanted to shout praises to the Holy One who loves us. nothing and noone.
it struck me at that moment how powerful HM6ix was gonna be. (: and i saw it, and i smiled, and a wave of utter hype washed over me.
Jesus was going to explode in our midst this camp. there was no doubt. (:
