VCC Camp '09!

Hahaha. Yeah. Camp was great. Awesomefying too probably.

Well. I'll skip to sessions. Session 1 was about selection, that we were selected, or chosen by God to be in His kingdom right now. Ps. Bernard Hull, the speaker from the U.K., used a lot of "S" words this session. Hmmm, can't be bothered to dig up the verses right now. An important point, Ep 4:30.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

 The message over the sessions revolved around Ephesians 4, so go scout around there. Haha. Let's see. Words highlighted by Mr. preacher. Spiritual selection of the Son, sealed by the Spirit. A few more I can't recall. Gah. Never mind. I'll go rummage through someone's notes

Session 2. Growing. Message was about how to grow. And some pointers for the Church. Hmmm. One description example or whatever you call it was, like a fig tree.

[Caution! Pretty long story]

During a certain dry season, a person's toilet water/whatever wasn't flowing out to the sewage(ugh, true story btw). So, the Pastor had a look at the situation, and noticed a fig tree in the neighbour's back yard. He immediately suspected that the fig tree, which has powerful water-sensing instincts, and pretty long roots too, might have detected a tiny leak in the person's drainage pipe, and sent it's roots far and wide to the source of water, all because it was desperate. True enough, that was the case, and the Pastor managed to uproot the fig tree and fix everything, not alone of course. With some help.

Therefore, we should be like the fig tree, searching far and wide for God. And yea, a note of my own. The fig tree hit a real jackpot, albeit during the dry season. Plentiful sewage, water's all the same to it, no? Breakthrough, wasn't it. Yea, breakthrough comes when we need breakthrough. Haha. Anyway, words highlighted during this session. Grow, Gifts, Grace, God, Good. And a few more! Memory fails me ahh.

Third session. Forgot lol. Never mind.
