Holiday Update!

Of course i'm not just going to talk about Vanilla Latte, here's a little update of how's my holiday. The most fruitful part was i went for a Retreat Church Camp at Chefoo 祈福. I really like the cooling weather there, furthermore i was really happy and surprise to see Nathalie. She came back from New Zealand last weekend but i skipped church for Rock Climbing, so yeah "In your face, Joseph" said Joseph. Well, this camp ain't that fun though, it was the time that you reflect on your life. We do a Timeline for our life since we born, truly i can tell you that my life really terrible with all the sins and unholy things that i have done. But that's not the most important part, the important part is... have you truly repent from all these sins and unholy things you did? have you let go of the bitter part of your life or you still hanging on to it? These are really terrible questions to ask because they make me realize i'm standing at the edge of the cliff and if i'm not changing the life that i'm living now, it's equal to taking the last step down to death. But i'm really grateful that i have two pastors here to guide us through this path. One important thing that i learnt was 'Don't be shy to confess your sins, for it is not an embarrass act but a brave act.' But i think the best part of this camp was when Nat gave me a hug after the last session and she said to me "Jochee, you must always remember that we all love you, alright?" It was really touching to hear something like this, only people who truly loves you will say this to you after they knew the bad part of your life because they believe that you will change. It is really a lovely encouragement for me to turn away from my past.
