the past weekend was spent at Sokil in Anglesea where Caulfield had our very own winter camp :)
was a great timeout from the busy-ness of life and of school and just taking time to be set apart for God and for fellowship with the peeps.
it was really a great refreshing time for me and seeing how God moved thru the sessions and just in our lives in general. it was purely an awesome retreat.
so anyways. the group of us drove all the way up and the journey there w mavis was a faith-testing one for us.
for some reason, our hps had no reception, GPS died on us by not having the place and the maps dont have breakfast creek rd on it. so all we really had was to go by faith. managed to arrive in Anglesea and then frm there figuring out how we could get to campsite by sneakily finding the map at the chemist.
so yeahs. that was our adventure on the journey there.
being on committee, we had more things to get settled and all. but nonetheless, everything unfolded well as we went about w games and sessions and all.
i guess it was really good bonding since we were relatively small in number.
everyone mingled well, took away loads from the messages at sessions and just how God just worked in each of our hearts at camp. totally heartwarming.
amidst all the shit (literally) - kangaroo poo, the dirtiness and sabos - just crazy fun in general, we all had a good time of just relaxing and taking our minds away work and assignments and all.
i would say the camp ended on a really high note.
having hotpot, campfire and just games for 3D2N was not enough, we had a 1N extension at jojo and mich's.
had hotpot once again aft going away frm Sokil due to the great amt of food leftover frm hotpot the night before.
loved how camp went and how successful it was as God did His work.
being on a postcamp high, everyone was reminiscing abt the great times spent and the jokes cracked. we now welcome 'Mary' into our convos. all thanks to XS. -__-

i guess personally God did great works in and thru me.
i was really encouraged to continues to take up my cross and follow Him.
knowing how He provides and paves the way for me. Knowing he will carry me on the rough roads.
knowing how He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. knowing He has the best plans for me.
knowing how God loves His children and how he will continue to reveal Himself as we seek Him. and basically knowing that it is THAT simple. to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, mind, soul and spirit and to love our neighbours like ourselves. we've complicated matters way too much.
i'm encouraged to walk on this journey of faith with a greater spring to my step, believing in Jer.29:11 that all things work for the good of those who love Him. :)
He cares, He provides and He loves above all !

into the 3rd week of school..
one week to the lead up of winter camp...
all's summed into one word. BUSY.
pretty much to the max of having too much fun.
i thank God for that. amidst all the onslaught of assignments that are coming my way.
really am looking forward to camp actually.
psyched for what God is going to be doing in camp and the strengthening of bonds and friendships over camp. :)

an update of what's been happening over the past few weeks.
highlights include Beautiful Women conference hosted by Planetshakers Church.
was AWESOME. definitely life-changing for me.
came away from conference more than inspired but more on track to where my destiny lies w God.
this weekend was spent at the Chocolate Rush Festival and having laser tag and hotpot w the peeps.
was really great time spent.!
