In Relentless Pursuit

I went for the first yc camp 2006 which was from the 14th to 17th and I can tell you that I had a good time there.

Never would I have thought being an official for games groups would be so interesting. On the first day, it was quite tiring as I had to line up bricks on the road for a particular game but in the end we did not manage to play it because of the rain. Wasted all our (me and other officials) efforts.

The second day was such a free day for me. I had the whole afternoon to myself. Since they had enough officials, I wasn't given a task at all.
Thus, I never felt so free in youth camp in my life. I even managed to take a shower when the games both outdoor and indoor were on.
So, you can imagine a whole bathroom to myself when everyone else is playing.

Oh, the third was the best of all. I was one of the make-up artist official for the "fashion show". No, I didn't put make-up for people. All I had to do was to require the artists to draw "someone" which can be anyone of our (officials') choice in order to receive something useful for their "fashion show". We get to pick the nicest drawings and reward them and I had a good laugh looking at the pictures drawn. There was once when they were supposed to draw Santa Claus, and some of the pictures looked like Osama bin Laden. So funny!!!

This year our speaker was Pastor Andrew Gray from Sydney. I really liked all his messages as they were clear and straight to the point. He wasn't "funny" like other Australian speakers from Adelaide, "ahem ahem". I'm not trying to criticise Adelaide speakers but I noticed many of them like to behave crazily when they're preaching. I can see some smiling and nodding their heads in agreement.
As I was saying, he did add some jokes here and there and he was being transparent without faking it.
His message on the first night on the Word really spoke to me as I hadn't been reading the Bible recently. It was awesome, the way he presented the message. The other messages were about being "someone" in the workplace and reaching out to the upper-class people, our purpose on earth and experiencing God's love.

I remembered an important phrase that he stressed on finding our purpose. It says, "Discover your primary purpose by doing secondary things". I'll always remember this phrase and make it my life-guide.

I'm supposed to post up pictures of the camp but I'm still waiting for Gloria to send it to me.
All poser pictures. Lol. Don't know why this camp all felt like posing for the camera.

Wait for my next posts for pictures of Bali and camp.
