Leaving soon

LOL in a few hours time more i be leaving my civi life once more. Going to protect the nation by serving as a BRIDGE ENGINEER!!

Omg, i totally dunno what is tat seriously. Been hearing alot of stories about it though. Some say quite tough while some say its quite slack. Guess i wouldn't know unless i experience it myself then.

The day when i receive my posting i was quite emo-ed abt it lol. Cox its like im gonna be the only person ended in tat vocation from my platoon! So far, from what i know, none of my friends are posted there, just me alone -.-" Most of my friends are either going to spec or some other units. Which leaves me the only hope people in my vocation.

After chatting with my leaders regarding this (thanks Jie Hui and Jun Liang) , i guess its really God's plan. I though abt it thru, i mean like 70 to 80% of the people ended up as specs, why am i not 1 of them? Somemore why am i in this vocation and not others with my friends? Yea pondered alot on this issue, it really dawn on to me tat it really got to be God's plan. Probably there are things that God wanted me to accomplished over there, therefore He have chosen me. It makes me scared and excited at the same time at the though of it. Whoa i really prayed that I will have the faith, to believe His best plans for me and able to fulfill it. "For the best is yet to be.."

Im gonna cling onto this verse: Jeremiah 29:11-14

POP

Orion Company platoon 4
( lol can spot me??)


FINALLY the day HAS COME!! POP!! =D

The day that i have been waiting for has finally came. Everyday during camp i really hope that this day will come soon, haha but not as much as ORD though lol.

While feeling excited at the same time a tinge of sadness follows.. Yea guess i'm gonna miss alot of things from bmt. Haha i definitely miss the people tat makes my life in bmt so fun and exciting though. Platoon 4 u guys rox!! Plus our section commanders too, all whom impacted us one way or another. They are a nice bunch of ppl to add it on.

The last days in bmt is especially high! Cameo cream, prickly heat powder and shaving cream, bombs all are flying everywhere, aiming at those unaware pedestrians. Lol i one of the victim of this pranks also. But i pity the commanders more though =X

Thru out this bmt, it really teaches me to treasure the time spent with my families and friends. Time is just so limited. Haha now having block leaves, 2 weeks of breaks, ironically now i dunno how to spend my time.

The time that we shared, the bonds that have made, the shit that we have been thru, the unreasonable things that we have done, all this will never be forgotten... Farewell Orion 4!

Songs

this is a song which really touch my heart, just meditate on the lyrics and its really comforting

Who am I : by Casting Crowns


Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You're

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

Going NS

Today is the last day of civilian life im having now. Haha to be honest i feel quite scared and quite excited at the moment. I guess its normal to have this kind of reaction ba, alot of others felt that way too.

I really thank God for opportunities to hang out with my friends before going in during the past 1 week or so =) Its really been enjoying to see them! Haha and have alot of fun too!!

Heard alot of stories and experiences about NS life these few days. Well to be honest its hard to judge whether or not i will enjoy it unless i experience it myself =/ Haha but one thing for sure though is that it will either make or break my faith. Will I compromise the word of God for the sake of something else? Am i able to stand firm in a worldly environment? Haha of course at the end of the day i hope i can pass this test.

Well its gonna be my last post before army life kicks in. Yup cya all again in 2.5 weeks then! =) Gosh by that time i be BALD!! LOL!

Counting down now...

NS ministry

Finally the day is here... The day where i officially went to the tertiary service in the NS cg haha. Lol was feeling weird that Saturday after noon i have nothing on!!! Sadly the first day of svc i'm actually late for it =X Anw the tertiary service is really an eye opener, alot of things is quite different from youth ministry. Its abit of culture shock to be honest. Oh well but God is the same no matter what. Haha i need sometime to adapt myself though.

The NS ministry is very fun i would say. Have that feeling after going for the NS vision night and my first cg of NS. Haha seeing how the brothers crap with each other and having fun together really shows out the atmosphere in NS ministry. Yea although still have alot of ppl i do not know yet, yup it takes time but i'll do my best to bond with them!

After going through the vision night and cg, i really feel convicted about serving God even in NS. Knowing that it is going to advance the kingdom of God really pushes me to go do it. To spread the Love of God to my camp and be a salt and light! To become a strong man of God! Yea i am going to miss my 2 years in NS le, i dun wanna miss my 2 years of spiritual life also!


Yea hopefully this conviction is not just a feeling, i pray that it can last me throughout my days in NS. I pray that i really can anchor my life on the word of God deeply..

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24

"Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ." Philipians 1:12-13

Prayer

Been listening to "The Stand" It really speaks to my heart in terms of making a stand for God.

"So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours "

Dear Jesus,
To be honest part of my heart is really scared about this major change in my life, in terms of ministry and my life. Im scared cox i totally have no idea of what to expect frm there! Plus also how can i give to my new ministry too.. Lord help me, empower me and grant me the courage to make a stand for you in this new phase of my life. I pray that Father, i can really grow myself in NS, standing firm in ur words and not afraid to spread your love to the non believers. Watever temptations that may arise help me to overcome them! Help me to become the person You want me to be, help me to fulfill the plans You have for me! I wanna surrender my life to you, not out of obligation, not out of fear but out of love for You. God, reassure me that You are with me in this journey as i desire You more and more. Really a day at Yourcourt is so much better than thousand days spend without You. I have make this choice to step firm in Your words, help me to be firm in Your words!
Lastly i pray that Lord, u can help me to adapt myself to the new unit, new ministry and a new environment. Its a new beginning, i gonna do my best to give myself to the cg. I pray that i can really bond with my cg too!

Yea Jesus, thanks for listening to my ramblings and i really want to commit all of this into Your hands. Let Your will and not mine be done.

In Jesus name i prayed,
Amen
