A New Beginning

This week was my first week in a new unit.

Pretty alright, still trying to adjust to the new culture as below,

-Please walk if you think you can't run anymore
-Doing 20 pushups for punishments
-E-learning at Comp labs become net surfing sessions
-Tea breaks and afternoon breaks became a must
-1 hour 20 mins of lunch time
-No water parade
-EXCUSED RUNNING TILL SEPTEMBER

I still can accept some of the changes but it's really different now.
In the past:

-You try walking?and see what happens(usually has timing and further distance)
-Doing 50 DIAMOND pushups for punishments(usually will be mutiplier of 50s)
-Don't even get to see a computer lab
-Toilet breaks, no teabreaks, are a must(usually given only 5 mins)
-Lunch time can be sometimes only 10mins
-Water parade, drink like fish in the water; want to vomit already
-Excused running? Then walk, cannot do anything...

It's really a different culture being in a combat unit and one of Singapore's toughest unit. Yet, moving on to a combat service support unit and one of Singapore's slackest unit (Almost all the trainees have medical conditions).


Another thing this week, I've hurt a bro in the process of remarking. I won't be ashamed to post this and some of you might have guessed it.

Dude, I'm really sorry and glad you are able to understand where I'm coming from.

The power of the tongue that can give life or death. How true, isn't it?

Anyway, weekends are finally here. Crazy, crazy. Here's a glimpse for you:

FRIDAY
-Young adult cell from 8pm to 10pm.Reached home at 1230am.

SATURDAY
0900h - Guitar lesson
1200h - Worship Practice
1700h - Visit Heart of God
2000h - Prayer meeting
2200h - Overnight Worship Jam

SUNDAY
0930h - Youth Ministry meeting
1000h - Youth cell
1200h - Youth Empower Service

As you can see, that is my weekend this week. My point in listing all this, how many of these activities are actually what God wants me to commit? Sometimes, I find myself agreeing to everything that comes my way. It shifts from focused to ineffective ministry.

Also, there is no will of God. God has a purpose and plan for everyone. I'm not even sure if all of the above are part of it for me.

So for you and me, I hope we will bear in mind, it is not how much we do that will justify our faith. It is our heart in serving that will reflect how grateful we are for Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Salvation. The true believer will renew himself daily in the grace of Lord Jesus Christ, confessing and cleansing himself of all sins in the blood of Jesus Christ and repent, knowing that God, the God of love will forgive our transgressions for Jesus has covereed our sins with His Blood.

Passage to relate: Exodus 25:10-22

Well God bless all =)
