National Service Part 2

Though NS ain't easy and stressful at times, I got a really cool piece of news. So ask me for it if you really want to know =)

God bless all, all in His creation. Believe that He never slumbers and is there for you and me. Ask in Jesus name with thanksgiving. Amen.

Lord, I have alot of worries and problems. But I thank You that I know You will make a way and I see clearer of certain things now.

National Service

Today is my first bookout day. Past 10 days was pretty alright. UPs and DOWNs happened throughout. Met really good cabin mates but of cause had some bad encounters with certain people in the company. Total intake for my unit BMT is 134. Among this, 2 have already been downgraded and out-of-course.

Life pretty much the same daily. Hopefully I'll come through all this. Thank GOd

Naval Diving Unit

Well so long to all of you I love dearly. People I cherished and kept in my heart. Those of you who have forgotten who I am, I still love you. I really have no idea what is ahead and to happen.

Lord, keep me going.

Accountability Group - Love you guys for the card, I will keep it safe! You guys rock my life!

SGcell - Thanks for the prayers and intercession.

Youth Ministry - Thanks for the care and prayers.

Uncle Mark - For all your effort, time and wise words.

Serene - You'll always be my best friend.

Ethel - Thanks for your encouragements, they really mean much.

Sam Leo - Take care sister. Will always keep in touch with you about the updates.

Aunt Erika - Thanks for the concerns always. Never fails to cheer me up inside.

And the rest of you whom I have not mentioned, please don't put a sword on my neck. Love you all the same. Cherish the times and people around you before they are gone. Life is short.

In my life, there are many things I have forgotten and let go of. Yet, some people and issues just will not go out of my mind. I choose to hold onto them. My prayer, dear God, take control of my life and let there be more of You and less of me. Let Your joy be my strength and Your arms be my refuge in times of need. Let Your angels surround me and guard me even in the darkest times.

O Lord, this I give unto You. A life of offering to You and a prayer of blessing upon the people I have met in my life. In Jesus most precious name I pray, Amen.

Modern Levite

9 more days...That's all I have left. Been 9 days since I last updated.

1 Sept: Church 35th Anniversary. This time was really a mistake to involve in 2 sections, I felt really stretched and tired after the celebrations. Somehow, they were all in the midst of my season of disappointments. I can say I was actually "acting" for the celebrations because no way I could give thanks to God after all that had happened. Once again, drained out after the celebrations.

I've been running away from God since the time I failed my pilot interview and subsequently, driving test. I could not accept the fact that He's taken the things of my desires away. It's been a year of rejections already. I can only hope in Jerm. 29:11 that He had plans to give me hope. I really need the hope soon.

A spiritual uplift would be at Modern Levites Conference at FCBC. I had no expectations or heart to listen when I signed up, but somehow God said a lot through the conference. The first verse I heard at the opening ceremony: You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

It just broke down the barriers inside my heart instantly. I have not been seeking God for a very very long time, as if a thirsty man who refuse to look for water. For 3 days of the conference, I learnt a lot on worship and going through Abraham and Isaac in a different point of view has taught me a lot. Moses and Joshua as well, the battles that were won if the men of faith kept their arms up high in the Name of the Lord.

I have not been holding my faith up high in times of battles/crisis. Perhaps all these desires have been clouding out God and gaining more importance than God that probably, better for me not to have been successful. It's so difficult to humble oneself again.

Some of you are going to be leaders/men of faith in unusual places.

I wonder if that was for me since I'm going into NS really soon.

I really pray/hope to come back to the Lord. It's been far too long a dry season and I thank God for the people in my life who have been there when I am at my lowest, I really appreciate you guys.

Nic: Unknowingly my spiritual role model and guidance in my walk with God. To remind me that someone out that is living for God despite all his short-comings and prayer breaks any obstacles in our ways.

Serene: My best friend. Giving me the encouragement when I really needed it. Though we have not been talking to each other for quite some time, but I'll still remember your kind words.

Ethel: Yup, I will keep in mind of your reminder. I'll try my best to keep them.

Things don't necessarily go the way you want them to be.

God?

Had my driving test yesterday. Was a total flop. Really disappointed with the TP system. Anyway, this has hit my faith level a second time since my pilot interview.

Perhaps I did not seek God enough?
Not enough faith?
or maybe God just doesn't want me to drive...

I seriously have no clue.
It's been a period of rejects and closing of doors.
Who am I kidding...

Things are going to get worse in 18 days' time.
Just wait and see.
Somehow, I know God is not making things easy for me to go through...
