my dearest spritual Family (: (:

sorry fr posting so late. was held up by my many many assignments & projects. but oh well.. here i am posting now fr the first time lol.

ohkay, Encounter Weekend is a big exposure fr me to know more about myself & fr me to know my Heavenly Father. the camp is so fuuuuun i tell you! :D

however, i was pretty unlucky even before the camp lol.
first, my mobile broke down. i dropped it sooo many times but nth happened until the day before camp, it decided to die on me. -.-

but tht wasnt the worse thng can. me, being a not-so-intelligent girl, i decided to take a bus to Outram station so tht i can take a lil longer time preparing. so, i left my house a ltr & took 75 frm the bus stop ard my area. hmm, i didnt really know how to go to Outram station so i asked the "kind" lady beside me to inform me when im suppose to alight.

guess wht, she told me to alight at Gleneagles hospital & i believed her! ^%@#!* haha. ppl, please laugh at me.. lol [ dont forget, i dont have my mobile! /= ] after much complications, Melvin brought me to Kovan to meet Eejay Daddy. we were like super duper late.. sorry Melvin & Daddy. :D ohkay anyway, ya. we walked & talked to GBHQ fr EW.

amongst all the camps i went be it St John's camp or sch camps etc, Encounter Weekend would really be the camp tht will leave a significant impact on my life. although EW is all lessons & lessons & lessons, i felt tht i really learn a lot.

i like the lesson, The Joy of Forgiveness. (:
ohkay, just abit of background knowledge. hmm, because of betrayer, adultery & stuff like tht, im totally unable to forgive my Earthly Father. it has come to a stage whr i feel so indifferent* whether is it towards him or anything & everything about him.

yes, i hate him.

*indifferent: showing no care or concern in attitude or action

BUT, The Joy of Forgiveness actually made me think through a lot, really. i felt tht God spoke to me through this verse,

"Therefore, i tell you, her many sins have been forgiven-for she loved much. But he who has been forgiving little loves little." Luke 7:47

we need to receive the forgiveness & forgive. because of the shedding of blood, our life is restored. if God can forgive us fr our many sins, why cant i forgive my Earthly Dad? why am i still holding on to the past? why do i want to do everything just to go against him?

these qns made me think through a lot. but one reason or another, my emotions are just too hardened, i cant let my emotions flow until the lesson, Immerse in His Sprit.

Lying to the Holy Spirit is the same as lying to God.
the presence of God is so strong as the pastors prayed fr me. i could feel the Holy Spirit standing beside me, assuring me tht He will guide me & encourage me in the rest of my life, with God.

right now, im able to confess tht..
I've forgiven my Earthly Father.
Also, im given the gift of Tongues. Praise the Lord! =D =D

Encounter Weekend, impactful & meaningful.

like wht Ahma said, maybe God made my handphone spoil because He wanted me to give my whole attention on this camp. true enough, i didnt have anything to distract me throughout the whole Encounter Weekend. God is real, ppl. God is REAL. :D but, my phone is fixed now lol.

im so proud of you, Cheryl Isabel. embrace God's love dear! (:

last but not least,
I Love God, my Spritual Family & my Earthly Family! (:
Love Julee Ahma, Love Eejay Daddy, Love all my dear sisters!
its love with a capital L. hahaha

much Love, huiyu*
