Whew after being stuck in camp for almost 2 weeks, what a relief it is to be back in the comforts of my own home. Yeah!!!! Ok but i must admit during the 2 weeks i wasn't faithful n consistent in seeking God. Haha. But God being who he is as u know is always faithful. I could see his presence constantly being revealed during the 2 weeks especially in outfield. Well there was this time in outfield my sect comm put me as the vehicle commander for one of the mission. To me this was quite a huge responsibility n i was unsure of myself haha. So i did the one most logical thing as a Christian. I PRAYED! After the whole event my sect comm said that i did a good job for a first timer. When he said that, a thought flash across "this was not my doing but God's". God is so cool rite haha. I really thank God for this experience as i am fully assured of his faithfulness everywhere i go cause of this. Amen Amen!
Oh yea I got myself a new phone too. My very own E51!!! This phone is superb man. At last i can listen to music in camp yea n one more thing juz to make other NSF a bit jealous(joking), I'm on off until nex sunday. Yahoo!!! I pray n pls pray for me too that i will make good use of this time n let it be fruitful whoever who read this haha!

God above all else
Recently, my walk with God has been quite bumpy. I was struggling due to certain issues that is happening in my life right now. i wun be sharing this issue as its quite personal. Anyway thru out this period, i was juz arguing with God about these area that i did not want to let go. However, God being who he is would not allow his children to continue in something detrimental in our walk. How did he do that? Well He spoke to me very powerfully in pastor jeff sermon about "Following Jesus". The moment he made his first pt, i knew full well that God meant that sermon for me. Yes the first pt was Putting God above all else and i remember pastor jeff said that in all things including relationship or marriage, we should put God above this allowing him to reign in these areas of our lives. God also hit me hard in the gut as i read the verses from Luke 14:25-33. The one that strikes me most was v33.
33In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.
Reading this, i know i have to make a choice between God and my struggle. Moreover during worship in cg God showed me another verse.
Haggai 1:3-9
3 Then the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai: 4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?" 5 Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways. 6 You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it." 7 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways. 8 Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored," says the LORD. 9 "You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?" declares the LORD Almighty. "Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house.
What God showed me really burdened my heart but i know to let go that area would not be a walk in the park. Therefore i just want to made this prayer to God today.
"God though i know what i must do but it wun be easy to achieve. Help me thru tis lord to bring me to the right decision. Though i can't promise that i will let it go eventually but i will do my best. God help me. Thank you for your faithfulness in this. Amen."
