Pre-Camp Special: Part II

[This is a follow-up article to the entry entitled Supernatural http://kzovercomer.blogspot.com/2008/04/supernatural.html]

Another form of shakening satan threw on us was on doubt. At the beginning of the preparations, some doubted whether we could raise up enough funds in such a short span of time. But as Kuya Allen said - The Lord will provide. Everything is by Faith.(I will talk more on this on the following entries) God intervened (we praise You Lord). Ang mura ng na-arkila naming bus (air-conditioned) and the funds for the camp-Huwell, sumobra lang naman, to the point na ni-refund pa ang P500 ng staff dahil sobra talaga ang nalikom naming kwarta. Yun ang OVERFLOW! hahahha, natatawa na lang talaga ko tuwing naaalala ko. Buliliaso na naman plano ng kaaway. hahahaha!

You will be hearing the word spontaneous from me more often, because that is what God is - spontaneous! He is Free! I experienced this first hand on the last Saturday befor the camp. I went to church because I know there was gonna be a practice for the Final Camp Promotion on Sunday. Ang Huling Pasabog as Joshua dubbed it. I went there to be a participant. What I didn't know was that I was gonna be one of the 3 people to lead the practice and to write part of the script. With God's help, na-memorize namin ang lines with the corresponding actions. We want to give people an unexpected-kind of presentation. For sure they would be expecting a dance number or a play (ganun kasi lagi ginagawa eh) so we came up with a Sabayang-Pagbigkas (speech choir) presentation na may rap sa huli. I cannot say that the presentation was perfect, dami nga naming mali eh, heheh, (di'ba Trish,) we had very limited time to practice kasi eh. But we can all definitely say that we all had fun. Pakapalan ng mukha sa mga actions. ;-> Biro ko nga sa kanila: "Minsan lang naman tayo sa isang taon mapahiya, samantalahin na natin!" and our motto was: "Nandito ka na lang din, i-todo mo na!!!" All those words, I think really helped motivate us, heheh.

Dito ko din napatunayan ung nasa Psalms 84:7 "from strength to STRENGTH". We presented the sabayang pagbigkas on all the 5 church services, round-the-clock, from 6 to 6, just as Tito Felix preached on all the services, sinabayan namin siya, hehe :-), ewan ko lang kung sinong mas pagod

Kung wala sa 'yo ang Holy Spirit, you'll definitely burn-out and complain. But the Joy of The Lord is our strength kaya hindi alintana ang pagod. And the best was really saved for last. Every service, paganda nang paganda ung naging presentations. We made the necessary adjustments that when we presented it on the last service, it was close to perfect na, :-)

Besides, before every presentation, corporate prayer muna, that's what made it successful, and then after everything, we just offered God a thanksgiving prayer for what He's done all throughout the day.

Haaaay, kala nio tapos na. . . akala ko nga din eh, pero we stayed pa sa church until 10:30pm to finish the final groupings of the tribes para sa Youth Camp kinabukasan, and then woke up early for the sunrise assembly,mga 5:30am lang naman, hindi naman gaano maaga, hindi naman, hehe. Salamat Lord sa strength.

Next stop. . . Lingayen! Whooo! :-)
