everybody say:
"CAMP BELIEVE IS AWESOME!"

i hope camp has been great for everyone so far. =))
& i believe God has spoke to many of us during the sessions in various ways.

for me, tonight, God showed me a vision and told me a story.

it was a girl pulling a whole stack of brick-like items of various sizes and weightage behind her as she walked along a path.
as she walked, she slowly put down the bricks one by one by the road side.
she came to this point where she was left with the last brick.
the last brick was also the biggest in size & heaviest in weight.

she tried to lift the brick,
she pulllllleeeddddddddd,
she pushhhhheddddd...

but she was kind of like, labouring in vain.
the brick refused to move an inch.

the road that she was walking on was the road that will eventually lead her to God.

"'Not by might nor by power, but by (God's) Spirit'"
Zechariah 4:6

the girl then flipped the brick over to the side of the road.

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28

with every single brick left behind, she walked a few steps forward and came face to face with God.
in place of all the bricks that she laid down during her journey towards God,
God gave her new bricks.
He walked by her side & pulled the bricks with her.
when she felt tired and needed rest, God sat down with her and stayed close to her throughout the journey.

the bricks that the girl was laying down represents the things in our lives that we're holding on so dearly,
things that are precious to us.
the last piece of brick is like that one thing that hinders God from causing what He has planned to come to pass - in full.
it is very often the thing in our life that we always struggle to surrender.

then, God said,
"only when you can lay down every single brick that you're carrying with you when you're on your way to meet Me, then can I give to you ALL the bricks that I have prepared for you."

i surrender all
i will follow You
i surrender all
live my life for You.
