cos our God is an Awesome God.

I was given this poster banner thing, and on it was a Psalms verse.
I knew what the verse meant, but I guess I never really thought about it. It was the same with God, I knew he existed and I believed, but I never really believed.. It was like Doc John said, I was a second generation Christian. I went to Church every week and learnt about stories. The stories stuck in my head, but the meaning never really got to me.

Then I was moved up into Fusion, and Fusion camp came. It was at the second night, the trial, that I felt God with me, I believed in him so much more. Through all the insults and accusations, I learned to trust God, to depend on Him. My faith in him was so much more than all the Bible stories. It was then that I felt God's love, and it was all too amazing and overwhelming. I broke down, I couldn't understand how God could love me for all these sins that I had done, but at the same time, I was so grateful for Him and that he blessed me with such a wonderful family and supportive friends. Just that night, that night, changed how I thought, how I acted, changed me. It made me want to praise God so badly, to just give up everything for Him.

And on that third night, I did. We all did. The lights were turned off, everything was dark except for glow sticks and the projector. We didn't care what we looked like anymore. Really, we couldn't care less. All I wanted to do was let it all out, just praise Him, just let go. And I am so glad that I did.

And every time I close my eyes, I remember that second night, the night that God turned my whole life around. It's such a wonderful feeling, that someone has got your back 24/7 and that you can rely on Him 24/7, anywhere! Well that's the end of my Fusion camp sharing!

I life up my eyes to the hills-
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will no let your foot slip-
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you-
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all harm-
he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Psalm 121

Tell the world that Jesus lives. Tell the world that, tell the world that.
