A cup of tea... anyone?

Hello! I'm back from Convy! Convy was... I have no words to describe it. I guess one word I can say is it is very life-changing (and it IS one word!). We learned about unity and the importance of togetherness. The people made this convy amazingly awesome! The fellowship, the late night company, pillow talks, random conversations was plainly awesome. I met quite a few Sarawakians! WOO! Some people thought I was mixed, which ok... I take it as a complement!

This camp really brought me closer to God. I experienced God in a supernatural way. One night, God placed a dream in my mind. I dreamed about something I've always struggled with and has somehow affected my Christian walk and I should keep the dream a secret. The instant I woke up I knew that the dream was from God. It was not a happy dream but a scary dream. In the dream, I felt scared. Some might see it as a nightmare, but to me, it was more like a kind warning from God. A warning that if I don't change my ways, the dream will become reality. When I woke up, all I felt was a surreal feeling... It felt almost awesome to experience God in a special way.

Also, I had the opportunity to bring someone to Christ. Well, her name is Lydia. One of the nights, after a sermon session, I saw Lydia sitting alone with ear phones in her ear and eating oranges. So, the Holy Spirit told me to go to her. So, I pretended to get up to get a drink (I was shy ok?). But, I slowly approached her and introduce myself to her and soon after found her to be someone who has yet to dedicate her life to Jesus. She told me she is about 80% to making the decision to accept Christ and was scared that she might not be truly genuine about God, until she reaches 100%. So, I said, Christianity is a journey. There are times where we will fall apart and fall away from God and there are times when we can fully rest assure and rely on God. We can never be perfect Christians. We can never be 100% ever because of sin. But, Jesus is always there when we fall, when we slip and always knowing we can depend on Him is an awesome thing. Therefore, we need Christ because we know we're never perfect.

A simple, yet, powerful speech. Funny thing is I said all that in Chinese. Yes, the irony. After I said that, I was like WOWWWW did I really say that? I was on a high, but at the same time I was like ok... big deal, she probly didn't even understand half of it. But, on the last day of convy, we somehow sat at the same table again. And I asked her, so, did convy help u decide anything yet? And she said yes, because of what I said that very night. And inside of me, I was rejoicing. I knew it wasn't me, it was God all along because heck no, it couldn't be me who said all that at 10pm on a late night in Chinese. Looking over the table, I could see her beaming, she was a different person, inwards and outwards. She had a special glow and I could see her love for God, just so wanting to burst out of her. Then, the Holy Spirit told me to pray for her and I held her hand and prayed for her. It was an amazing experience for me.

Leaving camp to the airport, I thought of her, of the dream, of the sermons, of all the amazing people and couldn't help but shed a tear. God is amazing... And I am the luckiest person alive to have known Him in such an intimate way and I wouldn't have it any other way. And funny thing is this convy was Holy Spirit led, meaning, the Holy Spirit brought me here, was with me all through convy and when I left. ANDD it is still with me now. Cannot get anymore amazing than this.
