  It has been almost a week since WTC'06 and a time of reflection and developing (haha) is kicking in with all that had happened during those 3 days. What I've learned as a YM worker is that usually the counselors don't have many opportunities to sit and drink deep of the oasis set before the students. More often than not, we find ourselves taking brief moments to kneel down, lap some water with our hands, and continue on for that day. Personally, the best part of each day for me is in the morning when the counselors meet up to pray; Enoch would read a passage(usually from the Psalms) as we meditate on His words. A rare moment of quiet that allow us to settle ourselves, dig our feet into the ground, and start up a new day!

  While we were waiting for the first of the buses to arrive, I was able to take a few moments to sit down and be able to read some passages. I somehow ended up in Psalm 89 and my eyes eventually focused on these few verses:

  Blessed(happy) are those who have learned to acclaim you,
  who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD.

  They rejoice in your name all day long;
  they exult in your righteousness.

  For you are their glory and strength,
  and by your favor you exalt our horn.
  

  If there was one thing that I got from this passage was the importance of whether I own Him. Is He the treasure of life? Those who can ever truly acclaim God, are those who have received Him. They are the ones who possess a strength that is not their own and a glory that isn't about them. These are the kinds of people who are happy in Him, and b/c they have Him, they will walk in His Light and rejoice.
  

  That was a brief moment of lapping water with my hands and it made those days of listening, ministering, praying, and crying all the more sweeter and lighter. God is very good, and it was definitely a joy to see how He worked amongst the teens during that weekend. He is a priceless treasure!
