Risk It! U-Turn. What a title to give to a national conference!

The time at the conference will be one that I treasure. Its quite a weird experience for me because I have been for church camps, CF camps and other conferences. Just when you think God will act in the same way, He does not. No, this was not a conference with huge bangs or drastic display of God's hand but one where God comes in the stillness of it all. This was a conference where I learned to be still and know that He is God. I really appreciated the SIP (Selah in progress, quiet time, worship) moments in the conference. It gave me ample of reflecting and re-thinking moments.

I kept a whole load of things and thought that perhaps the conference will give me answers to the questions and decision I have to make. However, the answer didn't come the way I expect it to be. Through the quiet moments is where the little gems were found. I had to make decisions even before the conference started but HE confirmed it.

Apart from that, the good points were the people. Met so many that I can't even remember most of their names. Met up with old friends from previous FES meetings and church friends too. Camps are usually the places where I usually lose weight but this is one place where we had buffet everyday and it was good. (Guess I need not explain further)

Anyway, the conference has been a good way of ending my life as a student and moving on to the marketplace. With just one day of rest in between. Tomorrow starts a new beginning and what better way to close one chapter and move on to another by not only with the people of God but also with the Lord Himself.

Indeed, I have much to thank Him for over the last few weeks. It has been an uncertain adventure but one thing is certain is not about me its about God. For me the words which hit hard to the core is WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Really sometimes I tend to boss God around.

I am an idealist and I do hope that at the end after many years I will be able to be like Annette and say that I am still an idealist because He is a God of Hope.

The race does not stop here. The learning does not end. A bumpy journey is guaranteed. Its just the tip of the ice berg I know but I have an Awesome God!
