Anchored to eternity

This week, God taught me a lesson being assured of eternity with the Lord... it all started on friday morning, when i was doing my quiet time, The prayer was, "O Father, what deep reassurance it gives me to know that whatever I am called upon to face today, my life is securely anchored to eternity. I have a hope that may be disturbed but cannot be destroyed."

You know when i read that prayer in my devotional book, i was actually afraid that i might be tested by God later in the day where we had an ippt re-test. Some background first to Friday was a couple days back on weds,was our first ippt, and for the first time ever since i entered ocs i actually dropped to a silver. And its because i miss the gold timing for my 2.4km run by just 7 seconds, where my timing drop to 9.51mins! And well my biggest fear really came.....as it RAIN in the midst of our ippt re-test! So in the end i didn't get back my gold before i book out... and i was really disappointed actually as i was so ready to get back that gold! In the end i recalled the prayer sentence at the start of the day in my QT...And so i realised that God taught me a lesson that day, that i sldnt pursue such worldly goals in life compared to what i have secured too for eternity! And that matters more! The HOPE i have in Christ that can NEVER be destroyed! =)

A new camp! A new ministry ground!

Really THANK GOD so much for the wonderful people i got to know in my new course in Signal Officer Cadet Course (SOCC)... great officers and great friends make coming to camp not as bad actually! And SI is like so near civilization! Feel so homely there!

On the first night there, a small grp of us Brannon, Lester and me went to a quiet part of our level to just pray and worship God to start of our SOCC term together for the next 5mths! Really excited how God can take us from here on, as we hope to encourage one another on in the Faith as we train together as well as opportunities to share the gospel to our other mates here! =)

A Poem that i heard from a Sermon by Pastor Alvin before i set off from Brunei!

I asked for Strength...
And God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom...
And God gave me Problems to solve.

I asked for Prosperity...
And God gave me Brain and Brawn to work.

I asked for Courage...
And God gave me Danger to overcome.

I asked for Love...
And God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for Favors...
and God gave me Opportunities.

I got nothing I wanted...
But I received everything I needed.

Will be booking in to Stagmont camp, Signal institute(SI) later for my official start of my new professional term in ocs! really exciteddddd!!!!!!!! =)

Will be away in Brunei from 3-13 Jan!

It's been quite an encouraging last few days for me as i read all the wonderful testimonies of how GOD is moving in the hearts of the ymers in all the encouraging well written notes on facebook inspired from GOD!

It's amazing how in the STILLNESS, the ministry has grown to learn to listen to God! =)

Anyways i will be heading of to BRUNEI later tonight! Going to meet new people! Going to to new UNKNOWN adventures ahead!!! And i really want to THANK all those who have prayed for me! =)

Anyways my prayer request will be ....
Pray for our SAFETY there, no injuries, NO RAIN(trusting the impossible!), for me to meet like-minded christian brothers and most importantly opportunities for me to share my Faith! =)

A verse from today's sermon which Pastor Alvin shared which really ministered to me! =)

^2-4Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. James 1:2-5 (The Message)

Seeyall when im back from brunei on 13 Jan!
