Reading all these blogposts, it feels like I missed out a lot on the last day D: I'm so terribly sorry my mom had something on so I had to leave first (anyone would like to fill me in on what happened after I left?) Still, I feel very heartened that so many of us (including myself) has brought home so so much from the camp! :D Indeed through this camp Sophia has grown so much closer together, and I've come to know my cellmates so much better than before! I remember on the first day, Pearl and Hongxia were 'fighting' to carry my bag and they were telling all of us how much they love Sophia. At that moment, I couldn't understand why they love Sophia so much- but now I do. We cheer together, we laugh together, we even cry together. Between each and every single one of us is such a close bond it's just about indescribable. Yet, this bond is not formed merely because of the time we spent together. To all my new friends: Bernice, Joy, Sze Yen, Cherie and Merabel, I'm really thankful that God has arranged me to come to know you. Although we've only known each other for such a short time, I've really enjoyed your company during the camp. For those whom I've known since forever, thank you for all your encouragements, care and concern- and I've learnt so much from all your sharings and your ways.
We really love each other, yes? There's something really amazing about Sophia, which I've neglected to share during the camp. At every meal I found myself sitting next to a different person, yet each meal I enjoyed that person's company, yet each meal I treasured that person's presence. It wasn't that I felt particularly more comfortable around certain people, but it was that the sense of attachment I feel towards Sophia now extends to every single part of it- irregardless of their strengths and weaknesses, In the past I had some difficulty being really close to everyone (so I largely kept to myself), but now it feels that God has completely removed that barrier. Nothing now stands in the way of my attachment towards Sophia- and I certainly hope nothing stands in your way too!
On a side note, I keep forgetting to thank all of you for the birthday card. I was so touched when I received it- THANK YOU! :D I feel so immensely blessed to be part of Sophia, and I hope that all of us will continue to grow in Christ!
With lots of love and immense gratitude, Cheryl (:
