back from training!

WOW....

now THIS is why i have so much faith in the youth trainings... everytime i go, i can be sure that i will emerge a totally different person. everytime i go, i shed a little of the world from me, and take a little more life in me. Lord, help me to grow in life! I want Your life within me to mature and blossom!

celine, rachel and jane (jelly) were my spiritual companions throughout the training. eunice was too, but she left early for a squash tourney =(
i must say, the Lord really knows how to discpline us and teach us to take the way of the cross... celine, rach and jane were all staying on the first floor, but i was on the third floor. it was a burden! not only did that mean that i was amongst a lot of "unknowns" but also i was so far away from my dear companions! i was also the oldest youth in my room (i'm considered form 6) and during the training, sister Yee Fong left which made ME the "serving one" for our room!

however, all this serving one position-filling stuff just perfected my shepherding. i learnt to be more strict with my time management since now i had to be the pattern for the younger sisters to follow. if they saw me staying up late, so would they! so i had to make sure they shared and prayed adequately before going to bed and getting some proper rest.

it wasn't all fun and games in my room... it was difficult for me to blend with them since they were mostly lower youth and the only other upper youth was very quiet.... but i still prayed for them, and as the days went by, i noticed they started warming up to each other. even jayne (the quiet upper youth) became more open and exercised. Praise the Lord!

all in all, i really experienced the Lord's provision, wisdom and sovereignty in every environment that he placed me in. Lord, I love you.
