Two months ago, I told God that I wanted something challenging. I felt that I am becoming stagnant. I told Him to throw me any kind of challenge to make me grow, stretching my faith and capacity.
Two months later, when I first heard of the camp, I was asked to design the promo card. So I thought to myself.. Ah, this must be the big challenge! Designing a promo card for the upcoming camp for the whole of ET Zone looks like a big challenge for me.
God indeed had something up his sleeves (not that he has sleeves). One fine day as I was happily surfing the net, I received a MSN message from Jared. "You will be a team leader for the camp."
And I replied, "Oh, ok."
I took a step back and thought to myself, "OH SNAP."
I wasn't ready at all. I am a introvert, I am someone that doesn't become 'high' or able to hype up a crowd, I felt that I am not up to the standard of being a team leader. I feared and I prayed harder than before. I kept telling myself, I have to step out from my introvert self and really do my best in leading a team.
Leading a team of more than 20 members was a big challenge to me! I was never able to talk to a big crowd. I have no good sense of direction at all which made things worse. Happy and glad to have WENDY TOH to be my assistant! Thank God that I have a extrovert assistant! I'm glad that she really helped me out in every other thing that I missed out. I couldn't imagine what would happen if I don't have an assistant like that.
Through the camp, I came to know many new faces. Many people that I never knew they existed neither they knew I existed. Two days before the actual camp, we all met up to design the placard for the team and a team identity. Through these, our team really bonded well! I am very happy that all of us really became good friends almost instantly!
I truly felt that we are all more than a team but we are like a family! I mean, even though we may be the last team throughout, but we've gained great friends! Friends that we all knew that would last for an eternity. Through the camp, we've really played till our best. Our teamwork was really awesome and brilliant!
I hope that through the things that I done in the camp for them would somehow leave a good impression. No, more than a good impression, I want them to know that even an introvert like me could do things that I never thought I would do!
Once again, if anyone of you from Team Commando read this, thank you. I am very honored and privileged to be your team leader. Also, I feel very sorry that I've let you guys down! I hope that we will not remember about us being the last but remembering us like a family, our encounters with God through the night sessions. From the bottom of my heart, I love you guys!
