♥ 9:49 PM
From 11 Dec to 13 Dec, I went to my first SF retreat at Changi Fairy Point Chalet. On Sunday, we gathered at church at 12pm to start the Amazing Race to the chalet, along the way, we had to complete some task and do some quizzes. The most interesting thing that happens at Chinatown point was that we have to find the store that sells a brand called ANTA. As luck would have it, my shoes were of that brand and I just bought it the day before. We are the fourth group to reach the chalet. The next day was games and it was quite fun and interesting. The theme of the retreat was ‘Knowing your influence, being an influence’. The message was mostly about living our lives as children of Christ and being a good influence to the people around us. At the same time we are also told of the different influences we are exposed to as we are a part of the world. From the retreat, I knew many people whom I have seen before and made many friends too. From now on, I will be more aware of my actions as I will be an influence to the people around me and I will live my life to serve as a living testimony to others. Oh one more thing, during the game I have to memorize the theme verse, Matthew 5:13-16, so now its stick in my head. Haha.
