campus ministry tribes'04 has come and gone... all i can say is, wow. i was (n still feel) honoured to be chosen to lead our tribe. haha, derek was the leader for the other tribe too, n we chose our names- his to be tian xia n mine, wu di... so together, both our tribes were TIAN XIA WU DI! haha, very corny... but cute lah. it was an overnight event at sentosa, activities all the way with no time to slp... had an awesome time of praise n worship at the merlion amphitheatre, at 1-3am in the morning! it was truly amazing...

many many things took place, but... my thoughts still too private to share. i had a lot of fun dat nite, but dun underestimate wat dat few hrs can do... juz dat nite alone, i learnt much more than i ever did... i really truly admire my leaders. to serve in church is different frm serving in the world. elsewhere, u serve the leader, but in church, the leaders serve us! then i had a revelation, how much Jesus loves us even more, how much more He is serving us with everything He is! my precious Jesus, lover of my soul...

well, it was a nice surprise, our tribe, even tho' it was the smallest, won the best performing tribe! number 1! i totally din expect it... n to tell the truth, i m really SO grateful for everyone in the tribe for their support for each other, esp for me... n thanks esp to my shepherd, who is always so loving n encouraging n supportive! =)

sometimes most of us just put our eyes, our minds n our hearts on the wrong things... we get all upset or self-piteous over the little things we want but cannot have, when all the while we have so much more to be thankful for n miss them out. WHY? clothes, shoes, bags, electronic thingies... we keep them on our minds all the time, wat we SOOOOO NEED to buy 'cos we juz gotta have them. come to think of it, do we really need so much?

it's sad when young pple lose loved ones... esp those so close to our hearts, whom we love n respect dearly. their departure inevitably leaves a hole in us which only Jesus can heal. i've been thru dat once... n it hurt more than anything. nv cried more in my life... i can't say i noe wat the others go thru, but i thank God dat there is a peace n a rest to be found in Jesus. but it's remembering such moments when we cry so hard for the one we've lost for the rest of this life which makes me think, all the times we quarrel, we bitch, we get angry, we become selfish, we pity ourselves... is it worth it in the end? NO! why regret only when we've reached the end? why treasure something only when it's lost? why pity ourselves n get all upset over wat we could've done when time has past n we can't go back?

Man - such a selfish creature most of the time. of 'cos, i'm nt God, i'm nt perfect. i'm guilty of all the above as well... hai. but well, we're all growing frm glory to glory! i guess all of us have to learn thru our own experiences, how to treasure those we have around us so much more... esp our mother, father, siblings... so easy to take them for granted, so easy to get angry with them when they dun meet up to wat we expect of them... so easy to focus on material wants. but i rmbr wat pastor prince said, n it's always stayed on my mind... we complain abt having no shoes when others have no feet.

in the end... it's relationships dat matter the most rite? who we love n who love us in return... but most of all, relationship with the One who laid His life down for me, n rose again dat i might have eternal life, n life more abundantly! praise Jesus, because His love for me is so real.
