in disguise... thank You.

first day... of sch....
now...
slacking away in the library cos i got a rare 4 hour break....a tutorial got cancelled.. and next lesson at 3...

what lies ahead?
hmm.... i said enough previously...

_________________________________________________________

during the weekend, there was a camp for the BBGB kids of greenridge pri..
even before the camp... significant things happened, which i can only say, God
wanted to speak to me...

two- three days before the camp, we found ourselves without any tents.
and not enough dorms on the 1st nite....
we planned to borrow abt 10 from another company (coy) which many of the officers &
helpers were formerly from.
technical difficulties... and it was impossible to borrow any more.

Jon then volunteered to try his old coy...
and he could not get hold...

i tried my old coy, and they allowed.

so i went on fri to collect, and almost all the tents were not exactly in good shape.

and i fretted as i got hold of 6 only. might not be enough.... ....

brought these tents to church,
and guess what.

i realised that we have another 8 tents, as one of the GB officers, Shihui, managed to borrow them.


so now we have too many tents.
reminds me of the story, the feeding of the 5000...

many more blessings in disguise came throughout the camp.....

a really heavy storm, in the middle of an outdoor treasure hunt game......
certain events in the night....
the few shortages here and there due to me forgetting to bring essential stuff.....
are but some of the few blessings in disguise.

- - -
last evening, while Jon and i were washing the tents used, (or rather, spraying the
tents with different pressures & volume with the fire hose), we got distracted by.....
..... ants.
it was interesting seeing how these ants are so commando-like whenever a wasp landed on the floor, or crashed straight into the wall injuring themselves...
they surround it and try to kill it, before lugging it back to their nest....
the amazing fact was that these wasps were significantly much bigger than these ants...
interesting.... God's creations are.....
i once went for some school camp, and one of the points was "to have an ant mentality".
when got obstacles in life.... "get over it,under it, side of it. press on and you will get it solved"
but isn't it a fact that some obstacles in life, are impossible to solve with ourselves?
without Him... i wont know who to be so thankful....
through the years....
thank You, Lord.
