i think you will alot of that word going around- maybe in blogs-, people talking about it.

yeaps, i am talking about teh YMLC, that just happened couple days back.....it was a rather refreshing and interesting conference. although, it was wake-up early- schedule packed- conference, there was insight and people, i belive, brough something back with them.

YMLC lasted 3D2N @ Pulai Springs Resort, JB. The place was small but sweet....i haven't bunked with people in a long time. so i apologise,early, to Ruth and Mingz...hahahha if you encountered weird things or heard something growl in the middle of the night, i am truly sorry..heehee:)). okok, enough about that....

the reason why i wanted to go for YMLC....
1. i wanted to go for a conference/workshop/ or something close a mission trip
2. get away from school and the hassle of life( but that didn't work either)
3. encounter God

anyways, i went to YMLC, with the expectations that i could meet people in God's house and enjoy the fellowship. i really wanted to know that PLMC wasn't the only church in the whole of Singapore( or rather "my universe"). so on the first day, we arrived early, at newton and headed straight in to malaysian-wet-raining- skies....the moment we arrived, we were directed to a marquee on the grounds- our Conference hearld..hahaha, and low-and-behold, TNG worship team was playing for the introductory. cool, eh.....heard the message from Rev.Dr. Wee( we still know him as Rev.Wee)and had lunch.......the food, was really taking each of the participant on an amazonian adventure- eat if you dare- kind of adventure( stories of people getting food poisoning once we touched back, is kinda scary....ooooooh)finally, a long long long while aft lunch, we got into our rooms, took a well needed shower and headed back for dinner and sermon.

after dinner, a Pastor Yang from CCMC( Cornerstone) gave a rather- not-heard of- sermon. something that i wished the methodist would encourage. it really gave me goosebumps and jolts. coz eventhough i wasn 't feeling that well, and i was tired/sleepy, his sermon really kept me up in my seat. i think his sermon wasn't the kind where you can take down sermon notes, it's something that you take back with you heart. Pastor Yang was talking "Spiritual Fire" ( coincidentally, Don Moen's Fresh Fire is playing in the background...Fresh Fire, let it fall..wooah) something i was truly lacking. honestly, i haven't been doing my personal time with God. well, namely coz, i was busy for the couple of weeks back with FYP and coz, dad was away...couldn't really take my mind of things.( yes, yes, i know it shouldn't be an excuse)...so...i was that during this whole conference, i could experience God once again. so when he called us to receive this "fresh fire", i went up. i was desperate/yearning for a spark, again. i went up.
now, i don't know if i was cold- coz i was shaking/shivering as i went up there. i felt as if God was "shaking"things up for me. But one thing i know for sure: the spirit of tongues just came over me. i was speaking that i've never used before.

my heart was really crying out for TNG. i really wanted to see a "paradigm shift", if u get what i mean. i really wanted to see youths passionate for God, that they are desperate- ask and seek Him...to the point that their mannerism shows it. i kinda worried that we'll just become a "club on sundays" in the long run- hey, i'll be part of them as well. so i guess the "heart-crying-out" was also for me.

To my dreams for you.

God kinda reminded me of the 4-year pact, i made with Him last/beginning of this year. I guess with all that's happening to me( people, school and family), He just wanted me to know that He'll always be here- for me. Cool thing- as I was doing a morning prayer-walk on th 2nd day, as I was looking up to the skies- I caught something. I was telling God of my problems in school and my anxieties. it was kinda drizzling that morning- skies were dark. But even as the skies were grey, i happen to spot a small clearing and behind it, i could see clear blue skies, as if the sun purposely was shinning there.
