Noel's adventures in South Africa: It's 10pm and I'm tired

It's 10pm and I'm tired

I can remember in college I'd go to bed at like 3am easily. I'd have to set my alarm for 1pm class. Is this real life? What is real life?
I had such a weird thinking day. I mean I was alone most of the time to my own thoughts which is so scary to think to know what's really on your heart. I tried to get outta Muizenberg to just be alone and do something. However the Cavendish Mall wasn't even more thrilling than I expected. I mean the day was beautiful, but I was excited to get out and go somewhere. HOwever I ended up getting up early, doing some errands, cleaning, trying to prepare the day, and yet again no internet. I'm here late night in th eoffice, oh and some guys just came in luckily to be here with me.
Well what I did discover was thoughts hard in my head. Too many to be exact. I mean I was at the movie store with Lydia last night and I couldn't pick a movie out until she recommended some. I was in Woolworths today and couldn't pick ANY food out because I wasn't sure waht I wanted. Seriously I have a problem. I mean Kimberley was speaking to me about praying for specific things. Our friend here Rebecca prayer for a ring from God, and you know what? Yes she got. I mean that's what power there is in God. However if I dont' even know what i want, then what the heck am I suppose to ask for? I won't receive the gifts and have a better relationship with the father if I dont' even spend time even asking. I mean how do I order my coffee? Is it the coffee I wanna taste? Is it the caffiene? Is it the fact that I don't want to gain weight with a big ol sugary drink or do I really like the taste? I just need to start to search my heart because obviously God created me and my desires inside me for a reason. I need to gather this. I need to know so I can then be able to commit to something. Oh my dreams and more come to life and I just desire to quit dreaming so dang big and not doing something about it. I know if I drop a pebble in a pond it ripples. However, I need to drop that pebble. This needs to be known. I need to knwo what i want and GO for it! I must draw closer. I must know how I want my eggs and if and who I want to marry and what kind of car I want to drive including the color. Oh man i gotta get to sleep. I'm sory Ilove you!

This time I’ve followed my heart to South Africa to be a servant for the Lord. In whatever magical way that may be, I will do so with the wonderful program, Youth With A Mission.
Ever since I did a mission trip to Mississippi back in 07’ I’ve been inspired to continue to serve. I've been dreaming about an adventure as well as being at the 2010 World Cup.
With the support of YWAM I will be embracing the country by first going through YWAM’s DTS, (Discipleship Training School). DTS is a pre-requisite to being a missionary through WYAM when completed.
The first 3 months are going to be at the base in Muizenberg. There my ‘team’ who have applied for the school around the world, challenging ourselves to be fully ready to serve in whatever calling we gravitate towards.
Choosing a country from the options YWAM provides, our team will then go serve there for the last 3 months. At the end of our mission, we debrief back in Muizenberg.
With the largest sporting event in the world going on in SA, I can just feel that it’s a place God will do wondrous things. With the beautiful game I know many youth especially youth, can be reached with endless opportunities.
I’ve traveled, met many people, gained work ethic, responsibility, confidence, and how to be a part of something larger than myself from soccer. Now I feel if there’s anyway I can give this gift in a place in such a time as this, then that would be a dream for me!
Not only do I hope and plan that YWAM will plug me into ties with the World Cup but also be able to help me network enough to help anyone else who may be thinking of attending the World Cup and or serving during the event.
I thank you from the very bottom of my heart for thoughts, prayers and financial support to help make a change.

Be sure to put a note that it’s for Noel Cameron

For the remaining 3 months, I still need to raise funds of around R12,000. I calculated my rent/utilities R1,500, food R1,200, internet/phone, R400, and extras (train travel, toiletries, hair cut, etc.) R1000. So about R4,000 a month with 3 months of May, June and July left I need around R12,000. This equates to around $1,700 for 3 months longer here in South Africa. God always supplies and never fails so I must have faith. I could possibly live on more or less so I am trying to not stress about this. Please keep me in your prayers. There are also so many other YWAMers around me who struggle for schools, accommodation, even a day’s train ticket. Please keep them in your prayers to continue in the steps God has called them.
