Camp
Sad, my church camp just ended. It was so much fun. My group got first too out of the six groups, we didnt really score in everything but my group had teamwork so we managed to come in first. There were many useful things that i have learnt in church camp. Although i did not go for the second day cause of prom and graduation, i heard that it was really fun that day.
I want to share my experience today at breakthrough halfway house. It is a place where the people who are on drugs want to kick the habit and it is also a place where they get to know about Jesus. I was looking at the powerpoint slides they prepared and i found this particularly touching sentence, it was "it was not drugs or will that will lead them to freedom, it is through Jesus" i find it really real to me as i know that sometimes man cannot achieve what God can. All those people at the halfway house were all either heavily tatooed or really big in size. I really can see the difference in them now, they were so passionate for Christ. I guess when you are really down and out, Jesus can save you. I am grateful that i had this chance to see all this people who have turned over a new leaf and let Jesus guide them. I hope that one day i can reach out to all those who are forsaken by the world and let them know that there is light at the end of the tunnel,and the light is Jesus.
Now that i am sec 4 and i have been in church for many years, i found that i have changed and now i am willing to lay my life for Jesus and his cause. Last time when my parents brought me to church, i would always bring a newspaper to read before church started and not really mix around with the people there. They were friendly but i just did not want to mix with them. Somehow i prefered to be alone. When it was time to sing, i would just mumble through the words as since young, i see my friends all singing very softly and reluctantly so when i go to church, it seemed normal not to sing and just go there to pass time. But slowly over the years, i can feel the change happening in me. I was really down when i was in sec 3 as my results was not very good. I really started to look for alternatives, tuition did me no good as it did not seem to produce results. My morale was really low and i had no focus in life, i blamed myself for entering triple science and asked myself why i didnt take double. Everything seemed wrong to me and songs like Shut up in simple plan seemed really true when my mom nags at me. I started to hate life.
But then every sunday when i go to church, i will see the encouraging faces and everyone seemed to be behind me in this battle. Slowly i began to remember and sing the bible verses louder as there was nothing to lose now since i was such a failure. Then the change occured, one day i sang until the verse, Jesus can change your life and he can change your mood. I was really determined to try Jesus and let him enter into my heart. Soon i began to gain confidence and with that Jesus brought me better results and a focus in life. Sec 4 was like the change of good events was so fast, my A maths used to be really shitty but with Jesus guiding me, i could see the vast improvement in my work. I no longer hate maths and my face even began to clear up. Jesus can really change your life if you have faith. Every sunday is the day that i look forward to the most, it is the day that i can sing my praises loudly and not be ashamed of my past as Jesus has helped me through the toughest times. I read bible verses with flair and confidence and hope that it can too change someone's life, just like it has changed mine.
I hope that everyone i know can learn to know about Jesus and he can really change your life, just like he has to mine.
