It has been really long since I last posted an entry, and I wonder if whatever claims that I've made before enlisting still stand today. Perhaps I've wanted to be moulded into someone who relies on God a lot more, someone who is after the Heart of God, someone who pursues fiercely after Christ-likeness, someone who watches his words, and even more so someone who is quick to love slow to anger. Assessment says pretty much about the opposite- I've been offending people unknowingly in the camp (and very wrongfully expected the others to understand that intention), so I guess that was pretty bad.
Time flies, and we are only left with 6 or 7 more weeks in camp- something of which I'm not quite sure if I'm fretting over or what, for the mere fact that the ending of this would only mean the beginning of a tougher phase. In any case, I really do hope to renew my relationship not only with God Himself but rather the people around.
Some knowledge is just not that nice to learn about, especially when it concerns the bigger body. Perhaps we've been too hot-headed, yet Christians are taught to be the light amongst the darkness. Frankly, so what if I dwell amongst the worst of the worst? Yet, I haven drifted off.
Lifestyle evangelism is a practice to be sustained- so as we commit ourselves to God- think not whether they deserve the kind of treatment we are offering, rather do your part on what is right. Bible says dust your shoes from those houses that do not welcome you, so do not withhold those of the chance to even express their hospitality.
Suddenly, you feel that you've got so much more to learn. The old stops where it is, and the new continues from where it takes off. Perhaps I might feel better adopting the new way. I am not sure, but if my current state has been the consequences of the past, then I am regretful and I certainly hope and pray that this taking off will bring me to a good height. (repentance is when one recognises a fault and is determined to never do it again!) It won't be easy, yet with God, all things are possible!
Prayer requests:
1. spiritual health
2 relationship with God
3. my dear mommy who has just begun reading the bible
3. relationship with others around
4. character development
I shall spare the details about the mundane stuff in the likes of grenade life-throw and Sar-21 life firing. But today I'm here, and I just want to give thanks to God for every single thing thus far. Any things that came in favour or not, I recognise that each experience is a gift from God to help me grow as a God's person. The improvements in IPPT, marksmanship, encountering of good sergeants, as well as the survival and overcoming of every small and big obstacle, I thank God for the grace He has poured upon me! Hellelujah!
Your river runs with love for me,
and I will open up my heart
and let the Healer set me free.
I'm happy to be in the truth,
and I will daily lift my hands:
for I will always sing of when
Your love came down. [Yeah!]
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever,
I could sing of Your love forever. [Repeat]
Oh, I feel like dancing -
it's foolishness I know;
but, when the world has seen the light,
they will dance with joy,
like we're dancing now.

This song has been occurring to me over the past one week and I miss the Thai people each time it happens!
