Sometimes, it's just about being yourself....

Ha, been having many thoughts in camp.

Have you ever felt like you are with a group of people, but yet you feel like you're not there? Think everyone feels that way sometimes, and I realise that it's because you're not being yourself! Because you are not yourself, you got to put on 'yourself' when you are different groups of people. And when everyone is together, you got no idea which 'self' to put on.

I think one thing for us, it's just about being simple. Being who you really are, not who people expect you to be. I think sometimes when we keep thinking about people's expectations of us, instead of helping us, it rather pressures us. Not that pressure is bad, but don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself.

We just got to focus, focus on God and also what God has placed in our care. I think, it's really about having undivided attention, attention that will not be distracted from God. Looking at the leaders, they are people who are really focused, and also people of; 'what you see is what you get' that's really an important point to note too.

For myself, it's really another level to rise up to. Like Pastor How shared, we need to be real. Real people and not people who are just friendly. But friends to people. Don't know how to phrase my thoughts properly, but just felt that.

'You just got to be you, and not anyone else!'
