Looking Back
Looking back, yeah, Camp Cameron 2006 was a very calm experience for me. No really bad memories. Not many (if not none at all) issues that I had to deal with. It was just delightful. I delighted in everything there at CC 06. From God, to people, to activities and even nature.
And for 3 weeks, I think I might have tasted just a little bit of what heaven is like. Not much. But just a tiny slice of what heaven is like. (If it were possible). I mean, we’re worshipping God together as children of God, there’s so much joy, so much of experiencing God presence among us. Beautiful sights. Smiling faces. Sweet fellowship. Sounds a bit like heaven doesn’t it?
Moving on from CC 06, I do feel like reliving those days again. I do look back and admire the beauty of it all.
I miss camp. I think I know why. CC 06, as I’ve shared during family time, was a journey thru still waters. It’s just peaceful. Coming back, I realized so many things have happened. Problems. Conflicts. Trials and all that. And I look back and I smile. Knowing that one day, in the not too distant future, we’ll be there once again. This time, better, more beautiful, more joyous. More than anyone can ever imagine. And it’s the real deal! And I don’t have to worry about going back. I don’t have to return to the broken world anymore. There is no broken world. Because, by that time, I’m home! Just imagine heaven!
P.S. CC 06 was a 3 week Christian camp I attended in May.

hey esmond!
though my camp cam experience was different from me (haha, coz He broke me in so many ways), i really really enjoyed the sweetness of the fellowship, the laughter that truly comes from the heart, and most of all, d sweet sweet, unforgettable memories
n u know something amazing? despite d turbulent storms (haha, tears enuff to wash d’villa’s clothes), amazing enuff thruout CC’06, i had this very calm feeling… this very peaceful assurance that comes from our Heavenly Father, giving me His word that He is the King over the storms, He is victorious over the floods…
yupz, “in a not too distant future”, we’ll be there! we r half there now!!!
hide me now,
under Your wings
cover me
within Your mighty hands
when the oceans rise,
and thunders roar
i will soar with You above the storms
Father You are King over the flood,
And i will be still,
and know YOU are GOD!!!!
Hallelujah! Amen! (rmbr thomas chung from nc?)
