i had fun during the three-day camp... though i am noticeably tired and dark, it was worth it. it rained so hard for the past two nights, making it impossible for us to sleep in the tents... even more ironic, it started to rain just minutes after i set up the sleeping bag in the waterproof tent whose window was left open... haaay...
i had to resist the urge of bathing under the rain... i then reminisced the last time i was able to do so, almost two decades ago when i was just five and my parents weren't around so i enjoyed getting wet in the heavy rain as i ran around our garden... (uhmm, a little autistic? haha, of course not!)
i listened to Ptr. Joel Osteen's podcast entitled "living under the rain of God". more than just the fun of literally basking in the wonder of precipitation, God's rain encompasses getting us wet. it speaks of God's favor never running out and how we can never have too much of it. God blessings are in so abundant and He longs to lavish them on us... not because we are good or that we deserve such, but because that's just who He is. then, my heart was still from disappointment of not being able to act childlike by bathing in the rain, because i knew that i would always be His child and no matter what the weather may be, i could always stay under His rain.
*happy birthday barbie!!! luvyah so much... i thank God for your life... go and take possession of the land!
