This is the first post for 2011!!!! It's gonna be pretty long and you may find out some things you never knew about me friends.
Okay, I'll start with 2010.
Basically it's going to be about what has happened, how it has changed me and how God was to me. Last year (before this I typed this year.lol) has been full of changes and adaptation to the drastic change of environment in the army. There was culture shock when I entered BMT, there was another when I was posted to MP basic and another one when I was posted to platoon 2. 3 drastic change of environments has really been tough and took a lot out of me to adapt and sync myself to whatever army brought upon me. It has been a true test of social, interpersonal and survival skills and physical & mental abilities. While army has been army, God has provided abundantly for me and has taken good care of me. Why do I say that? I was lucky enough to be posted to MP because it's a stay out job and even more fortunate to be posted to platoon 2 where I do the most awesome job in the whole SAF. Plain clothes dudes! haha. God has blessed me with His overflowing grace because He knew what was best for me and what I personally needs to do during army. Praise Him. This is the army part.
The other major part of my life I did in 2010 is attending TCC. I've been there for 1 full year already and it has been one of the best decisions I have even made. During 09 watchnight, I promised God that 2010 will be a year that I will grow tremendously in Him and will fight for His cause. I am glad I kept to my promise especially when He brought me to serve in CH and also went through SP course to becoming a SP. What He gave me in TCC was a place where I can worship, praise and learn about our Father freely without any judgment from people. Also He gave me an extended family from AF, CHs and all the other friends and leaders I've made over the year there. From all the goodness I've received, I really wish that I was born from a Christian family so that I wouldn't need to go through judgmental opinions and mockeries which is very very awkward and uncomfortable to go through alone in a non-Christian family. If only there was some support. But I understand it's all part of the process that God has placed for me to grow.
One of the reasons why I am so passionate about Jesus because whenever I look at my life from above(birds eye view), I can't help to think that God's hand has been all over my life all the way since Primary school. I used to think that I was lucky to be in ACS(J) because there was only a few slots left, and I was the 3rd or 4th to get picked out of the whole auditorium of kids. But it was all God. I wasn't supposed to go ACJC because I didn't meet the score that my parents set for me before O's as I had DirectSchAdmittion through golf and they didn't want me to go in and suffer like a dog hence they highly recommended poly because I'm lousy(inferred). But in the car back home after results, they suddenly had a change of heart that they'll let me enter ACJC. Wow. Fast forward a bit, I got retained and totally found God in CF. Jeann brought me to church. Ever since then, I've never looked back. That was His blueprint for me all along. I just can't help to thing how awesome and wonderful it is. And this is just a gist of what God has done.
Though 2010 may seem to be all positive and wonderful for me, but it's not. I have my ups and downs especially emotionally. It can get pretty bad, and I don't say or show it unless a person really really really cares and wants to know. But only God knows and He is doing something about it.
As for year 2011, God has told me what He wants me to do for Him, again during watchnight. In everything, He wants me to surrender to Him. To let go and let Him align me to His plans/blueprints. I was a little disturbed by some unresolved issues in 2010 but He came in and told me not to take comfort in the previous year and break out into the unknown of 2011 and that things will turn around for me. I'm becoming more and more excited of what God has placed in my way : ) Praise the Lord.
