celebration!

celebrate wat?!?! (lol. so singaporean!)

celebrate.... lots of things actually.

celebrate the OBS experience.
i'm really tempted to type in all the OBS stuff after reading heiman's blog... lol. since i haven't gotten down to writing it out properly. but no. i shall resist!!
celebrate all the 'bad' things that happened... lots of rain/ sun at awkward times... waiting out the storm, tent pole cords breaking, tents flooding, catapult not catapulting *hehe*... His favour and grace was just so abundant, and so obvious then. we reached camp not far from the estimated time.. no one got super depressed/ mad with anyone.


celebrate Barker watch.
*for you people i'm writing thank-you-notes to - that these notes aren't just a formality (it's been a long time since people have impacted me in that particular way).
*for everyone's openness in sharing, for keeping the circle a safe place - i really learnt a lot from you guys.
*for being a happy bunch of peeps =). laughter is a blessing. really.
*for being nice and concerned when i was stinky, un-bathed, whiny and basically walking around like a zombie. (kudos to jonathan who kept going 'no, no, you must build catapult okay?' like i was 6 or something. me laughing at what he said kept me going. lol.)
*most of all for being a catalyst and helping me find myself (i lost track of where i was going sometime ago. it really helped to get out and change mindset for a while)


celebrate quick quotes from Daddy God.
1. by ps gabriel with the song 'turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face.."
you must look FULL in His face. if you look halfway, there must be something wrong with your eyes! [imagine the reverse of being cross-eyed.... one eye on the cross, and the other on your problems. not a very comfortable state to be in >.<]

2. by ps prince (i'm not sure whether it's his... or koped from somewhere) when you have a habit
you get rid of the h, you still have a bit
you get rid of the a, you still have the bit
you get rid of the b, you still have it
it takes the t (cross) to get rid of the i (self-consciousness) in it


celebrate the knowing of His continual presence.
i caught a whiff of this during worship. "to You i belong, by Your grace You have called me Your own"

=in Him, we have a place of belonging
and in that we have a reason for living=


celebrate stepping out.
into the unknown. into uni. into the great things i know God has in store for me. even though i'm super freaked out and it's like a huge questionmark made of an amalgamation of questionmarks.

I see an open heaven

I see blessings fall like rain

I see glory beyond understanding fill this place
