Pursuit...
And so it is, Ive finally decided to update my blog a lil after much thinking... hehe
Its been a few days since i got back form Camp Castaway aka (Pursuit) at Detroit Lakes, MN. It was a 2 and a hlaf hour drive away from Bemidji... James was an angel to take Cassie, Grace and myself to the place (he actually had to drive up bout 45 mins to get to Bemidji then take off to go to Detroit Lakes again.. hehe) but thanx to him i learnt a lot about the wild life and farms here in US. First of all, deers here in Bemidji run out in the middle of the highway and its the vehicle which has to stop for the deer to pass... and, if ure lucky enough, a deer might jus jump out of no where and smash you right in fornt of your windshield.. isnt that scary or wat? can kill someone by doing that apparently...
Next, i saw a dead porcupine on the road on the way... dat was jus amazing... didnt manage to take a picture... but yea.. my 1st time seeing a real porcupine in the flesh... not on tv... hehe... it was all pointy and cute... but dead.. :(
I learnt that cows need to be milked twice everyday, its like a must if not the cow will die.. there are 2 types of cows.. the dairy type and the steak type... d dairy one is obviously the black and white ones, while the others are for meat usage kinda thing... i was most amazed by the milking thingy though... that was an interesting fact for me cause i really dodnt know it worked that way...
anyway, the camp was an awesome one... God worked in many ways in the camp... i dun even noe how to start...
basically, we all break up into different sections that each of us has signed up for... i personally signed up for the hard sayings of Jesus. that was a track which really caught my attention as i always had various struggles regarding different verses in the B.I.B.L.E.
then we had the URBANA (a whole US wide youth conference thingy end of this year) team come over for praise and worship sessions... they were just an awesome bunch! and they were diversed alright! malaysia, US, africa, i dun remember all.. but it was just amazing... we sang our hearts out and worshipped the Lord God Almighty! Praise the Lord for that!
we had tons of prayer sessions too... im actually glad that this was a prayer moving camp... Im sure God heard our prayers and He will answer em in no time... and thru prayer one gets to know more and draw closer to Him and to frens around you.
for now... that's bout it... this is just part1, more to come soon... too tired to type on now... adios! :)
