Day 13 (Sat)

Today was a massive day of rest for both me and the rest of TFT. Due to getting about 2 hours sleep on a hard floor, I was absolutely knackered. I was supposed to meet Roshan at church for a worship practice at 10.30am but I didn’t get back from the camp until about 11am so I had to miss it. I felt like a flipping zombie and the heat was unbearable. Me and Raj stopped for breakfast at this supposedly high class restaurant, which apparently the Queen had visited once. I that was the case then I hope she brought some toilet roll and soap with her. The restaurant wasn’t that classy at all; more like dark and dingy. The food as okay though. I slept until 3pm without a shower or a wash, I was too knackered!
I had a meeting with the rest of the VBS teachers, just purely updating us on what was going on. Anita did a little speech updating everyone on what we would be doing with the teens. I really felt a bit scared about taking the classes and felt a bit unqualified being the youngest person there and taking the oldest class. I really need to look more to God’s presence and power on this one instead of relying on my own abilities; something of which I am guilty of doing a lot at home.
The pastor’s message was quite prominent I feel. He was talking about the feeding of the 5000 when Jesus said to his disciples, ‘You give them something to eat’, relating it to us giving the children whatever we have, i.e. ‘Giving them something to eat’ but then before that coming to God and he will multiply whatever we have, just as Jesus did with the loaves and fishes. This really enforced the fact that any skills and abilities I have can be multiplied and be more much impacting if I give it to God first and focus on him and his will for not just my life but for these kids’ lives as well.
