Attended church camp for the last couple of days. And been sick the last couple of days before camp. A series of events; both unfortunate and fortunate.
Last weekend, had some insect bites all over my body. Was grumbling, fussing and bitching over the whole weekend… thought I must have gotten it when we sent lil’ sis back to her chalet-fied campus the week before. It must have been it! I mean where else would there be insects that’re so unaccustomed to my urban blood? It can ONLY be where the flora/fauna outnumbers the humans ie my sis’ campus! Argh.
Dear good ol’ doc couldn’t satisfy my curiosity as to the cause of the bites/itch. @#)(^*(#*&!@()#$!!! Just stuffed me with medication. Like I couldn’t have known or visited a pharmacy for that…
As things would have it, was down with high fever on Tuesday. Oh, darn. It won’t be, it can’t be… (whisper) dengue, could it? Well, I’m no CSI nor House wannabe, but put one and one together = the insect bites + high fever ?
Doc said that my fever had to be monitored over the next coupla days. Homebound. I hate being sick. Well, I guess everyone does. Hypochondriac, I am not. Makes you feel so inadequate, incapable and dependent. Well, at least, that’s how it makes ME feel. Guess it’s good at times to take a step back to see and act like the other side of the coin. Puts things in perspective. Ooo, perspective… I love that.
Thank God with some TLC, I improved. Dengue, it was not. Well enough to make it for the church camp in Malacca from the 23rd to the 26th of Aug, 2007.
The camp was good, though not as what my other half and I expected.
I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I’d rather be His than have riches untold
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or land
I’d rather be led to His nail-pierced hand
Than to be the king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today
I’d rather have Jesus than vain applause
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause
I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
I’d rather be true to His holy name

This song captures the essence of the entire camp. Easy to sing with our mouths and get caught up with music and harmony. But how do we fare in our actions, thoughts, aspirations and dreams? Do we put Him above all things? Do I?
