I'm suffering from post-camp depression. Miss camp, miss the people there and miss the food. Yeahh. This camp was weird I guess. Not like any other church camp I have been to. Firstly, this camp made me think alot about the definition of friendship. I also felt the need to rebuild old friendships which have been dying off. Then at the end of camp, I realised that friendship is something like love. I always thought it was 2 different things. But now I have come to realise that both friendship and love needs lots of time, patience, commitment, sacrifice and lots more.
Secondly, I realise that the sec 1-3s are cool. As in I cant find another word to describe them. Haha spent lots of time in camp with them and got to know many of them better and also strengthened many childhood friendships. The older people werent too bad either! They like really take care of you and stuff. Even though they do tease people alot!
Lastly, through this camp I learnt that God is the God of consolation. That if we are to rely on Him. Also that we all have a need to be reconciled to God. That we all have to ask ourselves this question : Are we ready to face judgement before God?
Also to Marion, Charis and Hanmae, sorry about the stuff during camp. I am really glad we had the heart to heart talk. Even though I was very very reluctant. I did not realise that over these few years that the broken relationship between Marion and I have caused so much pain. Not only to Marion and I but also to many other people around us. I also did not realise that it was affecting me and that I could carry on going to church and acting as if nothing is wrong. Thank you to the sec 1-3 girls and Yiling who made me realise it. I always kept thinking about the happy moments I had with Marion but never thought of mending the broken relationship between us and to continue the happy moments. I guess all these years Marion and the others have been a huge part of my life andwith the broken relationship and everything, I sorta felt broken too. Big thanks to Yiling who coordinated the talk and I am glad that Marion and I were able to share some of the things that was causing us hurt. Hope that slowly ouor friendship would be mended and become stronger through this difficult part. Also pray that whatever pain that both of us have been feeling would be erased away and that God would help us to become stronger in Him as friends.
