FINALLYYY GOLD IN IPPT!!!

Finallyyyy manage to get GOLD for my ippt on monday as for the first time in my entire life got my 2.4km run to 9.34mins to secure the gold! It was quite a huge accomplishment for me as i have never ran under 10mins for the past 4 years! Seems like all those army runs help you a lot in your fitness! =)

Besides that... most of the times we were having preparation for our GAMES day next week! One of it was HANDBALL! Which i manage to get selected for the all stars team for the company! Tchoukball background certainly did aid me a lot in my shooting! Wellsss pretty excited for the Handball team as we played 3 friendly matches against other companies and won all so far! So quite confident of our team winning the title at games day! =)

Anywaysss just came back from a really refreshing time with the YM COMM at our retreat at orchid country club! Its really nice to spend a day with really likeminded christians just fellowshipping, worshipping and praying together! =) What a good day!

Ministry in the outfield!

Just back from 2 weeks in the outfield! Although i'm booking back in pretty soon in a while, just want to say the past 2 weeks sure has been quite a huge impact on my life in someway, and the only thing i wanna say is, i really thank God for many opportunities to continue to share things that are close to my heart with my sections mates. I know one of them will be reading this now! hee! you know who you are... but i want to say that... i believe those nights in the basha tents and the long sharings we all had at night abt life, our worldviews are definitely something i believed was planned by the Soverign Lord, its encouraging to hear that a couple of my section mates really like hearing to the Word each day, when they actively ask me before nights off abt my devotion sharing of the day, and of course i would gladly share with them bcoz this are teachings that are directly from God and im just that instrument to share it. =)

oh wells... going of now! FINAL IPPT tmr!!!!

The start of a movement!!!

I'm just so excited to share what has happened the past week in my life in Tekong! One of the cool highlights that our platoon has been hooked too is, the army version of "polar bear" which i shared to a few ppl in my platoon, it soon spread on to more ppl in our platoon and we started to call it "wild boar"! Where we are the soldiers, the wild boar is the polar bear, guru the "encik", healer the "medic" and an additional character the poison fish. With whatever breaktimes we had, this was our key entertainment as we bonded together as a platoon! =)

Wells actually the main thing that i wanted to share is what my blog title says...Many people serving their life in national service, will probably talk abt the stuff they do in their trainings and all, but i would rather share it in a different perspective from where God has take me!

Ever since Monday, God led me to couple more like minded Christians in my platoon and we all felt the need to start a bible study/ prayer grp so we can be accountable with one another & continue to encourage one another in the Faith!!! And soooo ...amazingly we had a long admin time on monday night to actually start our FIRST ever meet up at a quiet corridor at our level, started with 4 of us sharing a bit of our lives & we had our bibles with us, thus 2 more came later noticing that we were doing like some bible study together so their curiosity actually came to us knowing they were fellow believers too and they were interested to join too! So it expanded to 6!

So each of us started to share our hearts abt our purpose in this place, and we all had this common mutual heartfelt prayer before NS, which was to find fellow likeminded chrsitian brothers! AND WOW! God made our paths crossed for all our prayers to be ANSWERED! You know at that point that JOYOUS FEELING was so intrinsic to just know that theres others who feels the exact same way!

So we than spend some time of readin the Word & sharing together & even spend a time of prayer! We cld really sense God with us! And soon more than an hr just past like that! And it didnt stop there, we started to have such regular meet up, every single night! SOMEHOW GOD provided some time! With diff grps each day, once a couple of pre-believers sat in too! And thinking back abt that one time where we sang some songs & just worship together was simply amazing!!! =D...

We really believe that this really is a start of a great MOVEMENT in our company to come as we are forseeing it to expand to the believers to other platoons too!! And you know each time we meet up we just feel SO EXCITED!!! I recalled one night that one of my new christian buddy and me cldnt slp bcoz of the excitement of what God has showed us! AMAZING RIGHT! That was my motivation each day! But with all this going on, the SPIRITUAL WARFARE was at its peak! As the devil indeed tried to bring us down as we went closer to the Lord! A few of us started to get sick with diff problems started to happen! I got a sore throat the next day on tues & ran a slight fever from weds to fri! But THANK GOD that he kept me going till today! =)

Anyways I really want to SAY THANKS AGAIN to everyone out there who has been praying for me! This movement wont have started to happened if not for your prayers! =)

Excited to see where God can take this TEKONG ministry from here on =)

Will be stuck in camp for the next 2 weeks straight! At Field camp & Sit test! Continue to keep us in prayers! =)

God you answered my prayers again!

¹⁷ But the Lord stood with me and gave me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the Gentiles to hear. And he rescued me from certain death.¹⁸ Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen." 2 Timothy 17-18

The above is my quiet time devotion today! And its amazing at how God has been ever so faithful! Even on weds,thurs... when my morale somehow went a bit lower than normal... and i tried not to show it but somehow my section mates cld tell... its times like this when i allowed the "fiery darts" of the devil to bring me down mentally! And it happened! So i sent an sms out to a couple of friends! And AMAZINGLY my prayers were all answered on friday it self! Theres so much that happened on friday but due to the classfied info of our trainings i can't mention. But i wld say...the long time we had then gave me opportunities from God to share the closet thing to my heart to a couple of my platoon mates! Even got to meet a fellow likeminded christian brother there! And wow! THANK GOD for HIM! =) Its nice to know there are others out there who really understand you bcoz of the similar Faith we hold in our Almight Lord! Felt so good encouraged after the whole of friday night! =)

THANK YOU everyone who prayed for me! =)
