thank you Father

Got back from the VCF camp last night {sunday night}. The camp was great, lots of fun but the main reason why we went was not lost in all the fun. I must say, atleast for me the highlight of the camp was the talentshow.

We were all divided into groups according to certain bible characters. I was in Noah and we were asked to present some kind of drama or song well naturally we decided a drama was the way to go. I have videos but i'm having trouble uploading them but besides our group i think the drama by Moses was very good. Every team was very creative in the way they presented these bible stories and it made for a really fun time.

thank you Father
For some reason yesterday{monday morning} when i got up to pray i could not help but just say thank You Father for everything. Sometimes i feel this way. I was singing one of my favourite songs by i think its Paul Baloche - offering. There's a line that goes...

I bring an offering of worship to my king
no one on earth deserves the praises that i bring
Jesus may you receive the honor that you're due
Oh Lord I bring an offering to you.

And for some reason those words just hit me real strong, i was thinking here i am in the midst of people who love the Lord, and i was thinking of those people who shared the word of God to me, and how it must have been a struggle sometimes for them because i also go through struggles when it comes to sharing my faith. And how it must have been a sacrifice for them but God used them anyway. And those people who must have been praying for me to be saved, called out God's mercy on this naughty little boy. And here i am... Alvin Slaughter in his song run to you says ...surprised to be loved. The emotions just overwhelmed me, and with tears i just thank God for everything, everything i get to enjoy, every trip, camp, every experience. I like to say God is pure good. :)

Recent event have got me worried, yesterday i got some bad news but i know in all things God works it out for the good of them who love him and as i was just going through some word to help me through this one thing that kept appearing is the love of God especially in Romans 8:35 nothing can s-e-p-a-r-a-t-e us from the love of God, nothing. And that became some kind of help to me. Only a few people understand what i'm talking about and i'll like to keep it that way but all i can say is pray for your friends. God can do anything.

We had to cross this river to get to the other side where the cave is.


my first time on a boat. Look how scared ooja was.


the other end of the boat.


we took the wrong turn at some point in the journey but this sign was reassuring


even though it was raining, they kept singing all the way


that explains alot


after walking for hours we came here and the path was under construction


they were selling drinks and some crafts.

The camp committee decided it was not safe to go through the path under construction so we did a fun thing; walk back.


this is an alternative path but its longer and they say mud can get up to your knees. We passed.


we got back and guess what we did.


eating


my room


they spelt my name wrong, where got L?


my roomies


look at all the cool people with cool t-shirts. At this point we were getting ready to leave.


no we didn't have the camp in the bush, we just had to stop.

I can't possibly post all the pictures i took here. Well actually i could but it would get very long but you can look at some more over at my flickr page. Or to get another perspective of the camp try this one.

I really thank God for my phone, it made the camp more fun, and i could share with y'all.
