ISCF 2010

Gotta say, this years camp was pretty good :)
I guess i'm going to have to wrack my brains a bit and try and remember all that happened, this is going to be a long one...wonder if anyone is going to bother reading a new one, on that note i might just get a new skin...hmmmm not sure if i can remember how to put on stuff properly...oh well newayz

Friday
Meeting at central station, twas quite good, living only 10 min train trip FTW
met ppl i knew, others i didnt, bee-mon thought i was being weird and gave me perplexed look, (foreshadowing more of it to come :( oh well)
Bus trip laaa, yr 12's got on public bus: me, josh, kiwi, nat, orla, dani, fong, panda FTW guys, talk about awesome trip down cept me getting sick having to sleep and nat doing some ninja shots *shakes fist*
and then the good old walk to Chittick with spaz, then talk about rules, then putting bags in cabin (finding out later they changed rooms) *shakes fist*
then music :D my guitar and stuff were still alive woot woot, though i gta get them off keely somehow...oh well... XDD

Ice breaker games, i didnt feel too awesome so i didn't do alot but talk was very good even though i epically failed Your Grace is Enough :( i think i must have started on the wrong fret...or maybe i just fail hard. probably fail hard
twas intro talk but still very good, adro speaks so well :) it was an introduction to spiritual growth.

dinner, not awesome but oh well and games, which ended up pretty lol in the big field, cathy told me she failed and fell into a hole, was kinda worried after cracking up about ppl breaking legs but she wasnt in hospital so i assumed she'd be alright :D
then sleep with oli threatening UFC ownage if anyone woke him up... yay?

Saturday
Sunrise, friggin cathy and amy woke me up giggling in front of my room *shifty* XDD
wasn't an awesome one to look at, too many clouds oh well hoped for better the next day but it was good to pray with fellow Christians at the sun rise.
Talk two, well technically talk 1...but still newayz it was about intimacy with God, so i guess not having the wrong views on God: u know not the policeman, grandfather or CEO God, all of which was really encouraging but also just learning about what true intimacy looks like and practical steps.
Disco groups :D we had an AWESOME group nick leading me, andy, nat, cathy, becki in the awesome room 2, love ALL of you guys, sorry i didn't write a letter to u guys but yeh im not a letter person so here's what i give XD

Lunch and Free time, jamming for the whole time, twas good, cept i kept failing at Muse songs *sigh* oh well must get better *promises* trying to teach cathy guitar, imma fail teacher :( sorry cathy :(

Dinner PIE, AWESOME PIE (thanx again to sue), though i cldnt eat more cuz i had to leave for band prac XD
Talk: Growing in love for the Lost, i lose track of details there was so much but i hv booklet somewhere in my backpack so will read properly there for prayer and study
Disco group and late sleep as usual, got kicked outa TV room by Len, got given reasons about being role models so yeh everyone got out sharpish, mayo knows too many rude jokes....XDD

Sunday
Another fail sunrise, a more fail wake up time for me, woke up to see ppl getting ready then leaving so hmmm, soz fong and stuff for keeping u in when we actually went XD oh well, the sun didnt really show up and be cool so uggghhhh oh well God bless

awesome morning service heaps of ppl came which was really encouraging, brekkie, band prac, quiet time and then onto talks on Growing in Holiness and Christlikeness, surprisingly i didnt fall asleep or feel tired at all....hmm weird but i guess adro is just THAT good :)Disco groups, i loved how we jst told each other so much guys, its a great thing to share, i felt good jst letting stuff off my chest, hope u guys don't think im that weird...but i guess everyone did before so what else is new? XD nick is AWESOME at prayer, he just keeps going its so incredible what his love for God gives him :D

lunch and FREE TIME WEEEEEEE BEACH, watched ben lyon carry cathy down to the beach on his back *cue ngaaaawwwwww* those two are so cute :) *waits for cathy slap then ben punch to face* would be so worth it though
RUUUUUUUUGGGGGGBBBBBYYYY, yep, still know how to catch a ball apparently Kwan Min...and knock ppl over and not remember how to tackle. water was rather awesome, pyramid better haha leader pyramid was so epic XDD and adro and jonno are so tank i was on their back and adro was just doing push ups and holding me up with left hand :O :O

Forgot to mention workshops before, but last time was about sovereignty with nick fung (disco group leader FTW) and was really good to hear stuff about Christianity in terms of Free Will, Why God forgives all and Evangelism. 2nd workshop i was too tired from lugging chips back from shop so i jst helped out Sue and Ali in kitchen, found it more tiring to help out in the kitchen but at least try and make life that little bit easier for those 2 they do SO MUCH WORK FOR US love u both so much :D and met alice who was very nice to me :), and minji was cutting up onions and had tears in her eyes and ppl were like "awww minji u ok...(noticing onions)...oh...nvm" LOL

Pasta Bake and got to listen to Mayo RAGE about touch footy haha how wrong she would be at raging. although, really...dim lighted thai food with ur sport team...yeh i guess i can see why she would get annoyed at that XD

Last Talk and...after

A new topic heading for this because it is REALLY AWESOME.
anyways after Adro finished up his talk, much of which i never really remembered till the morning after in disco groups but yeh anyways we finished off with The Stand, and i don't know what happened but i think the Holy Spirit seriously just swept all of us and everyone was just spontaneously singing, crying, praying out loud or just all off the above sometimes.

Now i don't cry that often, (last post i didn't really cry as such, no tears came out yeeehhhh) but man when i heard Andy quote 1 John and man i just broke down but everyone was there for like an extra hour or so, and this is like ISCF high school so yeh twas awesome. some people stayed till 1 apparently so that was pretty big, don't think ill have an experience like that in a long time, man just thinking about it makes my spine shiver

I just couldn't stay awake for alot longer so i slept after 12 sometime...i lost track

Monday
Last day :(
but AWESOME sunrise, woke up to see people walking off :O so i had to run my anus off to catch up with them but God Bless for an awesome sunrise. brekkie, pack up all the stuff and disco groups awwww we were the most awesome group thanx again to nick and to everyone there WE BEAT BEN BLUMBERGS GROUP FOR PRAYING WOOT WOOT haha probs shouldnt celebrate so hard but OH WELL :D and u know then came the fateful time to go home :( train was delayed like 30 min so spent it taking photos and being azn and then read on the train to wollongong which was pretty lame, drunk ppl and too many asians in wollongong, thought it was like china/hk *shfty*

bus back talked to orla and nat for like 2 hours straight, cldnt sleep for some reason, lol'ed at pairing up, would share but that is TOO private haha
lol'ed at racist white guy
lol'ed cuz i missed my train and had to potentially wait 30 min for my next train, gt picked up by mum went home, ate a whole couple of bowls of chicken and rice...LOL and then FB, comp, sleep

yeh my life is awesome, but it wouldn't be without God so here's to u God
"You are the way the truth and the light we live by faith and not by sight for you"

God bless everyone
