God keeps his promise

You know how we sometimes like to doubt to god a little bit at times and think at that point that we might know better. Well that was what the service at SFX confirmation camp was thinking and we were pretty much doubting God.

The confirmation camp 2008 program was extremely different from the previous con camps we've had. It was a program which was vey much commented with lots of negative comments. Maybe its the culture of youths serving in God's kingdom who have very high expectations and also not being able to adapt to different situations. Even I found it really difficult to adapt the the new program but I am just so thankful to God for granting me te grace to being able to accept his plan for us all.

I felt really blessed throughout the camp as I was really feeling the graces of God poured out upon me and upon everyone . The graces I needed to wake up in the morning and be fresh & cheerful, the grace to be a light for Christ to the confirmants, the grace to believe that God will move within the confirmants and especially the grace to have faith.

And I'm just so affirmed by the way God touched the lives of the confirmants. For God knew the confirmants way better then us and he knew what would be the best way to touch their hearts. And so rightfully God did during the Parents night where the confirmants will read the letter from their parents and then moments later, meet them and reconcile with them. Though almost all of us predicted that it won't really touch the confirmants, God proved us to be so wrong when it happened. It was so touching that even the facilitators were in tears at such a sight of Love!

And for me, as all these moments of love were happening, I just looked at the cross where Jesus was and I thanked him and just smiled at him. It was just a moment of pure joy & delight to have put my faith in God! It was really beautiful Love!

And futhermore, I have never seen the Holy Spirit move like how it did during this con camp. Seriously! It was really amazing how the Holy Spirit was guiding every speaker, facilitator, musician, worship leader, priests and confirmant! It was so amazing! And of course the Holy spirit left Mark Sebastian Abraham in total wonder & awe of God as I was guided to initiate the unplanned morning service team prayers.

Thats another thing I learnt at this con camp. I learnt how powerful prayer can be, especially communal prayer. I received the gift of prayer! It was so amazing and so unplanned!

And basically this is what happened for SFX during the same weekend of YISS, St. Joseph Con Camp, OLPS youth retreat and many other camps held concurrently. I'm sure the Holy spirit moved so strongly in the other camps too!

Prasie be to GOD!
