Live High: i'm back

Have been wanting to blog about my mission trip for a looonng time but just havent gotten down to doing it.

Don't want to lose this memory tho!

Well something in me changed. Most people wont realise it. But I think i've become more independent after this trip.

There was a period before this that I dont like to sleep alone at night. haha it was a phase where I had to meet weijie every day! sounds crazy, but yeah

Was feeling very disheartened, emo-ing cos I cant get a job (not that I have one now) that I liked... screwed up my estee lauder interview...felt pretty distant from God.. unequipped to lead my cg..new connect group means new challenges.. worry worry worry

Basically drowning in my own despair.

And then i realise how selfish I've been acting and I needed to find that fire and passion again. Sometimes I'm just so caught up with my own problems, that when I lift up my eyes and try to solve others, i realise how small mine actually are.

Made a decision to go and wooosh! Best mission trip so far!

so here's where i stayed with 13 other people!! They make an awesome mission team really! Super creative, spontaneous, and hilarious!

So on the first night, only the youths had arrived. (haha nice having the whole house to ourselves.) but we were busy preparing for the next day's schedule. Lots of last minute changes. And I was wrecking my brains over how to present my testimony! hehe thank God for Elson and Royston who were so patient and helpful ^.^

So with barely 3 hours of sleep, here we are at our first school!

setting up

the boys doing the percussions- Revolutio~

going through the dance steps

and the most hilarious runway. haha in this case.. jacob would say... runaway!

IT was super funny!! but no choice... only 7 of us to run the whole show? everyone suddenly became multi talented! LOL

Well after that I had the chance to share my testimony!

A lot of people think that going to mission trips is about going to third world nations and villages to preach the gospel or help the poor, but there are also those that seek to inspire and empower youths to realise their potential, talent and God-given creativity that is in each and every one of us!

There is a lost generation out there, youths and teenagers that find the church irrelevant. And You'll be surprised at how much you have to offer! Simple knowledge and things that we take for granted on home ground can help change someone else's life.

One thing I feel though, its not so much of the skills that we impart to them, but its the spirit behind it.
