Out of the Mouths of Babes

                      _________________________

        One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a
        classroom. The teacher was going to explain
        evolution to the children. The teacher asked
        a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree
        outside?

        TOMMY: Yes.

        TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass
        outside?

        TOMMY: Yes.

        TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see
        if you can see the sky.

        TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes
        later) "Yes, I saw the sky."

        TEACHER: Did you see God up there?

        TOMMY: No.

        TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see
        God because he isn't there. Possibly he just
        doesn't exist.

        A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the
        boy some questions.

        The teacher agreed and the little girl asked
        the boy: Tommy, do you see the tree
        outside?

        TOMMY: Yes.

        LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass
        outside?

        TOMMY: Yessssss!

        LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?

        TOMMY: Yessssss!

        LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the
        teacher?

        TOMMY: Yes

        LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?

        TOMMY: No

        LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we
        were taught today in school, she possibly
        may not even have one!   Amen.

 After all a Christian must remember that,
           " WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT"
                                       (  2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 )

OXYGEN CAMP~!

decided i shan't upload any pics cause they are all on fb anyway....

verdict: CAMP was AMAZING~!!

yes, it was tiring, there was a lot of prep involved.... i got a bit gwampy.... but in the end, God's purposes prevailed. i think everyone got more than what they expected. the atmosphere was unbelievable~! i felt that i should have more faith.... but God is certainly stretching me that way. 1 wk before camp, we had 70 ppl registration.... think i was bit less "semangat"... it was our 1st camp after all.... 70 is not a bad number.... but no, we had 110 ppl rock up~!!!

1st day: everyone was hyper including me.... i haven't been for a camp in 3 yrs~! a stayed in camp anyway. came with some expectations, maybe not GIANT ones but well, i did think... after all the effort i made, God, u did better do stg~!!! and knowing God, He surely did. :)

1st sermon by aunty chiew har.... on simon peter throwing the nets the other side, obeying the Master although he had been fishing all day and caught no fish whatsoever, and him being a fishing person being told to throw the nets on the other side of the boat, the left n right side weren't that far apart. but he obeyed. and he caught a big harvest, 153 large fishies.... how sometimes we can be stuck fishing on 1 side and catch nothing whatsoever.... and we just got to obey and do something different, extraordinary, supernatural, throw the nets on the other side although it may seem dumb.... fish can swim from one side to other side, but that's besides the point.... i think it's a matter of submission and obedience to the voice of the Master. step out to do something extraordinary~!

2nd day: half pancit, cos 1st day too semangat - played ping pong, futsal and captain ball.... muscles aching, not to mention ppl keep on trying to poke at my giant bruise from paint ball... still, plenty of adrenaline pumped up for worship~! the worship team was great... morning msg by pastor mark who came all the way just to share the word of God.... seriously, i was half asleep cause i couldn't sleep the night before. BUT good thing for note taking, i did manage to get some bits and pieces..... CLING to WHAT is GOOD~!!! do not let go of the WORD of GOD. in my own words, hang onto what GOD has promised for dear life!!!

games was fun, although i got wet cos andrew hit me with the water balloon twice!! and niva shine once, but well i dunked 3 on her.... kekeke. we didn't do so well as a team but yong was very 'keng'. 4 on 1 den 5 on 1.... hope he got ard to removing the splinters though. had a great time bonding with other team mates. played heaps of ping pong, thanks to jolene.... finally, a girl player somewhere.... very sien being "qi fu" by guys. esp jolvin... n well, i am bad with plastic bat.... no idea how someone could play with dat thing... no rubber 1. so cham.

being "unofficially" on call during camp was sorta good also in a way, ntg big happened. thank God. removed a splinter, a small piece of glass, saw some small scraps and bruises, a sprained ankle. gave someone antihis to sleep.... not entirely best practice but well, i can only do so much.

the night msg on isaac digging wells. i'm not very good at explaining things but well, the gist of it is... do not give up~! do not give up on your dreams~! keep digging wells, there will be opposition, there will be disputes but God will give you room.... you will come to a place where you will flourished if you do not give up.

okie..... to be continued... cos i have zzz soon.....

there is more to tell.... ^_^
