Sometimes the road is surrounded by nice scenery that takes your breath away, and sometimes there is nothing to distract you from this hard path.
Sometimes the time on the road is enjoyable and you wished that you will never be plucked out from the road and yet there are times when you wish that the road will just end here.
Sometimes there are people walking with you, and sometimes you feel lonely walking by yourself.
Sometimes you walk by bodies of water and you are instantly refreshed by the cool air, and sometimes you find yourself in a desert without a drop of water.
Sometimes you feel light and you could actually fly along with the wind, and sometimes you feel that your feet will never have the strength to lift themselves from the ground again.
Sometimes the road is easy with just little stones for you to kick around, and sometimes it is occupied with huge rocks that requires you to maneuver around them.
Sometimes you can just stand up with no scratches when you fall, and sometimes you are so seriously wounded that you can't get up, can't bear the pain or even the strength to call for help.
And yet it is only like times like these that you learn.
Times you wish there was nice scenery around you that teach you to always look to the One inside you, and not to the external.
Times you wish that you could just stop walking that teach you to persevere and not to give up because there are always better things up ahead.
Times you feel lonely that teaches you that there was only one set of footprints on the ground was because He was carrying you.
Times when there was no water that teaches you to stop and pray for rain.
Times when you feel chained to the ground that teaches you to fall on your knees and to surrender everything that chains you to the One who can free you.
Times when there are huge rocks that teaches you to overcome obstacles along the way.
Times you fall and there is no way of getting up that teaches you that it is only when you are down and resting that healing can come and that it is a process that cannot be rushed.

Telunas was so good this year. Not just because of the food, the extra jetty jumps that I did this year and the many more people who came but because God used this time to really speak to me and teach me.
Re-examining my life was very difficult because I finally saw what I've been really struggling against and being honest with it is no easy task. It was also the last time to equipped myself before I take on the huge task next year leading the CG. And yet God was so good that He knocked some sense into my head.
After turning so many corners, feeling many disappointments and crushed expectations, I finally realized who are my truest friends. It never mattered whether we went out often or we talked often but just coming together and talking about past memories while making new ones is already enough. And we seem to have a new addition, haha. These are the people I'll definitely invite to my wedding, no matter what happen because nothing can break our bond.
No matters what happen, I know that I can rely on you guys to carry me through difficult times.
Now that is what called true friends.
I love you girls!

YOUTH CAMP IS OVER.
All of camp com's hard work over the past three months is finally over in the split second Andrew say that the campers are dismissed.
Through the five days, indeed God is doing a great work in all of our hearts. Though there are some unhappiness, some who broke down and one meeting which left almost all with tears, it was something that God used to teach each and every one of us different lessons, or maybe different aspects of the same lesson.
I'm in this missing-youth-camp mode. I bet a lot are in this state too. LOL....
When faith honours God, God honours faith.
I'm reassured once again. Thank You.
