God spoke a lot to me during EYFs. But I shall just share a few la. GOD has realy been good to me because I learned not only His word, but also relate His word in my life.
During the struture experience we have in chalet last last week, we wwre told that there will be a few christians among us, and the rest will be non-christians. And we were given a number, and when our number is being called, we will go into the tortue chamber which is 'hell' to be tortued if we were not non-christian.. I was later asked to be a christian as i was told that some of the christians are not sharing the gospel. I felt that the responsibility is on me as if I don't share the gospel, my friends will be called to hell. And if they were not christian, they will be tortued. So this is how I understand the need and the urgency to share the gospel.
The next day, we looked at the passage, Matt24:3-14. Which talks about the signs of the end of age. The signs are false prophets, persecution, wars, famines, earthquake and many more. I was convinced that, yes, Christ's secod coming is near as these signs are already happening, but actually I am still not convicted that I have to be the one to share the gospelto my friends. because my friends are still so young, do you think they will die so early? Nah. Then I heard about the dragon boat incident. Do you think they will die so suddenly? yeah, nobody expect that. Yeah, just likethe structure experience, once your number is being called, you will go. And it's either you spend eternity with God or without God. I think 2 out of the 5 persons who died is christian. They are with God now, but what about the other 3? they are spending eternity without God now. Someone shared to me in the chalet that those non-christians who went to hell have got a second chance to come out for the second time to listen to the gospel again. But for the real life, there isn't a thing call second chance, they go hell and spend eternity without God.
So I started to reflect about those people around me, I really feared for them, because life is so unpredictable. And when they passed away, will I rejoice because they are with God or will I regret because I never share the gospel. I thank God for His word to prepare me for this the week before. And again, life's unpredictable, your good friend may sit beside you today and gone tomorrow and sumone mention this to me 'death have no prejudices' last Saturday. Believe it.
Another lesson I learned from God is during the potterymadness. Lillian mentioned that we do not touch the clay if we don not have a design in mind. This has led me to see how Gos is the perfect Creator with a purpose in mind when He creates me, and when He makes all things happen and the squence of these things hapened so in time, so that I may be taught a lesson. Eg, after the chalet that week I met false teacher. Thank God for His protection. I thank God that He is not like anyone of us here who is so fiddled-minded, imagine He is like us who keep changing the design like anyone of us, I can't imagine how outcome will be like.
And I also learned that when we make the clay, there should not be any air bubbles in betweeen the clay. Because during heating, these air bubbles will eventually burst as they cannot withstand the heating and there will be a crack. Actually these air bubbles are like sins in our lives. Because sins cannot withsatnd the fire of testing. So I was reminded to constantly remove these air bubbles which is sin in life, if notin the end there will be a crack during the heating(which is testing of my faith) and I'm of use. Eg, who would use a pot with a huge crack right? I think I need to be willing for God to remove these air bubbles in my life because I know at the end, I will be a beautiful design of His. Thank God for His word:D

Hi, thank you for visiting this humble space of mine. I don't blog as often as I used to because I no longer find any value in blogging daily affairs, although reminiscing the past is important because it's the past that made who I am today. But I will make use of other platforms. I would pop by here if I find any thought-provoking matters or current affairs that are worthy for me to pen my thoughts.
