da results of my spiritual gifting test:

EXHORTATION
the gift of exhortation is the special ability that God gives to certain members of the body of Christ to minister words of comfort, consolation, encouragement, and counsel to other members of the body in such a way that they feel helped and healed.

my runner-ups are hospitality.... service.. mercy... leadership... administration.. :) haha... the last time i did it i tink HELPS was my strongest... hmm.... haha...

well apparently the results of ALL da campers were forwarded to my dad... cos he's heading the equipping ministry and they need some sort of recording according to him.. so yah... haha... exhortation... exhortation...

din get to sleep properly during the msia trip man.... 1st nite.. slept on sofa.. wif my legs either dangling or curled up. but the thing is.. i had to use pathetic towels as blankies throughout the cold nite!! turn abit... and the towel drops.. and u gotta re-set it all over again. after it happened like 5 times i got so fed up... dunch know how i fell asleep oso... and then the next morn. mum woke up b4 me. and she happily stripped me of my towel... and i tot.. *she's trying to wake me up again*... but as soon as she took the towel away... she threw an absolutely warm comfy PROPER blankie on me... *gosh where did she get that from?!?!?! i suffered the whole nite.. and now... onli now... i get some real stuff??? * wow. so i slept abit longer.. then breakfast..

2nd nite slept on da bed.. but daniel kept planting his legs on me i hardly could take it!! 3rd nite... on the cramped sofa ... again...
