Prayers answered

Now you can see the point, I had nowhere else to turn but ask God to help me out and supply His love to me. I was reading this book called "Your kingdom come" unlocking the miraculous through faith and prayer, reading power of prayer and spending time with God.

'My famous thumb' 

Reading chapter that mentions about 'prayer that brings heaven to earth'. Then it explains this which stands out for me. 

God sees absolutely everything...He also looks deep within the heart of individual. 

Then it came to my realisation that I've been praying half hearted at times, quick 5 mins read then bed. This is when moment I take a stand, make time and room to pray and being alone with God. I went along the lake, at night time to gaze at stars along the pier for quiet time with my heavenly father, praying for people here that they will get to know his light, praying for a Christians at camp to support one another here. I remember vividly a guy told me he is a Christian where he was wearing gold cross chain on his neck, but wasn't sure what was type he was. Trusting God would provide the way as he knows everything. 

Then I read the bible - DVO app is a must for u readers (iPhone)

At that time I was reading it, then something amazing happen, this is below text I sent out to my friends back home on whatapp. 

I can't believe what happened, I was getting little frustrated with God with current situation in life and at camp. I decided to myself that I'll spend more time with God. So this evening I headed out towards the lake, by the pier at night time to pray and gaze at the stars (that then it was cloudy) And started praying for someone I could share or gospel the good news, I knew I met this boy at camp who is a Christian and wonder if he shares the same faith as me. I started reading the bible about hope anchor my soul then I felt the footsteps along the pier, torch was shining in my eyes, big black figure with 15 size feet and realised it was him, the Christian guy Brian. Wow, out of everyone he came then we chatted about Christianity, life, spreading gospels, struggles being a Christian, other religions etc. Lucky I knew the answers so Bible College and spending time with God with list of questions paid off, I knew exactly what he was saying. Thanks God and fellowships.

Praying with faith goes a long way. Ask in Jesus name and it will be done on earth. When we passionately pray the things that on His heart more than our own, God clearly love it. When we begin to passionately pray for people, and people to be saved (I have seen this happens praying for others in the past) we have every confident that heaven is beginning to move in response. The truth is clearly illustrated by Jesus in the scripture, John 14:13-14 "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the father may be glorified in the son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it". Jesus has promised that when we pray with motivitation that His father be glorified. He will respond by doing anything that we ask Him to do. It's time to get Jesus famous and known at this camp and of course wherever we go. Wow, amazing and full of promises. God is not like us so therefore He never fail or fall short of his promises to us. 

This was 3 weeks ago now, also to mention I try regularly meet up with Brian for fellowship, we haven't had chance to meet up last week because of our busy schedule but we manage to meet up last night, that time heavy rain and thunder storm, it felt like it was going to rain during day time but nothing came, u can feel the air was tense all day, the humidly and all. At that time in the evening at 9pm myself and Brian was praying, having worship songs in the background. Brian feels a struggle with himself not trusting God enough for his future in everything, and he went on about what ifs, then that moment, talking about he doesn't have patience for God to work in his life, then the mightly thunder erupted! It was so loud! Absolutely booming! It was frightening sounds, even myself I'm deaf still consider how loud is was and it was scary, Brian felt somehow that was God way of telling him. Then that moment, it was like killing two birds in one stone, he was on his app of the day, and there it was God reminding him of something.  

Trust Lord with all your heart.

Do not lean on your own understanding- perfect verse to Brian.

That's I told him that's big man telling you up there, alas Brian was expecting the Holy Spirit will come with loud booming voice, but it doesn't, instead it's a gentle whisper. 

Although not quite sure what I think of the thunder, it was definitely loud!

God is good and his timing was perfect - sums up everything that night. 

Speak soon! Xx

The previous day, weather came lashing down with rain, completely soaked during swim teaching within 5 mins. 

Incarnation Camp - Journey cont...

Hey guys, 

So the 2nd week after the first was more training but focusing on child protection plus other adventures ie overnight, outings to the beach, mall (lots of Abercrombie and Fitch clothing!) and my first baseball game. The overnight stay is where we take our unit to overnight stay away from camp into the forest. This overnight for that week was for us counsellors so we know how to do it for kids plus bonding time. I found out I'm looking after 6-9 years old unit. Our unit are called 'Colony'.

We also have emergency call at waterfront called 'LBD' which stands for 'Lost Bather Drill' once the siren is heard, we would ran literally so fast wherever we are. We will stop and drop what we are doing and run to waterfront whatever clothes we had on and jump in. The campus on camp is fairly close so running would take 5 mins to reach desination point. We are trained in different area, turtles are shallow ends, dolphins fairly deep but I'm in the shark area (specialist) meaning I have to dive 18ft to search for body and they aren't many staff willing to go to shark area because, the further u get, the colder, darker, murkier, with lot of fishes down there and there is much more compression to breathing, the oxygen gauge quickly runs out. Its scary how number time I nearly choked as I realised how far it is to get back up to surface again. It's not like swimming in the pool breathing technique, it's actually frightening how quickly it runs out.

Trooper the dog who kept us entertain during our American Red Cross training, only 8 months old boxer. 

Brand new lifeguard top after qualifying, a week of training.

Breakfast is considerably full of carbs, cereal, waffles, pancakes, maple syrup, coffee cakes, muffins. Hardly any protein so looks like six pack will have to be put on hold for now 😜

On our day off, we visit Miami beach, lots of bikers there. And lots of different police cars, not all are the same, think this one below was specialist ie FBI or some sort, we saw this as we were leaving.

Blowing bubbles...

Just found out who would be in my tent, I have two strange names Pilot and Ever, Ever was telling me this story how he was given that name, his mum was watching the film and the ending came up 'forever and ever' and decided to name him Ever. Wow, it's always nice to hear how this came into details. I didn't ask what was the movie was or ask pilot how he got his name, I'm sure it will be a ice breaker chatting tomgirls. Oh another thing, Pilot was such a hit with ladies, one night we had our unit nights with other girls unit, which was a dance night. Pilot and Ever are cuties, poor Pilot didn't know to control girls as they were grabbing him all directions for a dance with him. The girls was ratio of 3:1 guys so not many boys for the girls. Desperation ran everywhere that night looking to for someone to dance, we had a lot of boys standing against wall, really scared getting close to the girls. I don't recall girls doing that at that age.

Myself attempting play tennis.

England vs Italy game, after that we lost the rest was snore. 

I'll be now posting posts about my Christian journey at incarnation. I don't think I realised how hard it is when there's no one supporting you or a friend to lean on (apart from my fellowships back home in Belfast and London). Something awesome had happened couple weeks ago and that's shows when u prayed to God with faith He will answers to your prayers. I'm so excited to share u this what He done...Watch out soon, peace out! 😊
