It’s been such a long time since a last posted anything here! Time is extremely precious now, especially so when I want to spend them with the ones I love. In fact haven’t been touching the computer for quite a while. Some of you must be wondering what I’m doing posting a blog on Monday, shouldn’t I be in camp? Well I’m having an off in lieu.
The reason why time is so limited now is because I’m no longer in BMT but OCS. You can bet it took me sometime to adapt to all the new changes. The 3 weeks confinement was extremely excruciating, not being able to see loved ones. But life has still been good and amazing with the Lord. His grace and favour have been tremendously visible in my life. Can’t thank the Lord enough.
The Lord has been arranging my time for me with regards to my training schedule. Take last week for instance, my 2nd time I book out on a Sunday morning. Was expecting to book in at night itself but the good Lord extended it till Monday morning which gave me the opportunity to spend the time with my family at the Chinese Singpetra concert and get the opportunity to see my father getting saved. Praise God! I was supposed to start field camp supposedly today in Tekong and miss National Day celebration with my loved ones. Again He did a miracle for me even without me praying, Aunt Sarah did though which I believe was what caused the miracle. Field camp got postponed and I get to spend time with them! Delight in the Lord and He will grant your heart desires. I believe this is a great example. Somehow I feel that I’ve grown a little less self-centered, putting my focus on my loved ones and neglecting what I have to go through in there. And so even without me knowing the desire of my heart He knows and He arranged it such that it was as I would have desired. I’m so amazed.
Oh and I’ve been blessed by the group of Christians in my platoon as well. I joined them for the 1st time on Saturday morning at 5 to worship and can you imagine, the few of us ushering in the presence of God? It felt so good and refreshing. It totally made my day. Now that I recall and remember the words of aunt Sarah, there was a surrounding presence all over me when I fall in which made me exceedingly joyful for which ever reason I did not recall but I know for sure that’s the JOY OF THE LORD! He has taken delight in our worship!
Pray that the coming days ahead will be ever more accompanied by His presence and being His witness to the people around me! Especially my parents and platoon mates. Hope to be able to use my life to preach His Gospel. More determined then ever to commit my life to Him and serving Him!
I thank you Lord for Your presence in my life. You’ve given me strength and joy in my heart to sustain me, grace and favour with the people to allow me to see how abundantly life is with You! Show me Your plans concerning Your Kingdom and open my eyes, ears and heart to see hear and feel Your heart cry for the Nations as I seek to please You and love You! Lead me in my days ahead and truly let me known as Your Son, a disciple and not just a Christian. Lord I commit my days ahead and life to You and ask that You use me mightily as I live for Your GLORY! In the name of my Lord Jesus I pray! Amen!
