My week was TIRING!But I really do give thanks to God for everything.
First of all, I completed my last 100 on tuesday!WHOOO!!Its basically a set of rifle physical training which is...very tough...to say the least and maybe an understatement.We've been doing this as a batch for like the past 3 months and yet no one's ever managed to say with confidence that he has the strength to do these exercises without fatigue.So yea!What made it even more pleasing, was the fact that everyone who started it, completed it together. No one gave up half way.
Fight the good fight,run the race,keep the faith!:)Secondly, i met Caleb,Ivan and ZhiYun for dinner.Cos well, CZY's going back to Australia..or well,even as i type this post,she should be in the air back to down under already.I'm surely gonna miss her...1 year le!my good friend!heh.But well,we had a good meal at...Holland Village Market(of all places...) and great fellowship.Super conversation at Starbucks (which Ivan missed)..Outstanding stuff.
Third thing i really want to thank God for was for His strength. On wednesday, i had guard duty at night.After dismounting from duty, i had to rush to do a Guard of Honor for the President of Lithuania at the Istana.Then from there, we received the ill news that a State Funeral had been arranged for the recently demised ex-PM Rajaratnam.So we went to the Esplanade for rehearsals till like 11pm.No rest at all mind you for 24+ hours(and no shower too eeyucks!)The following morning,we reached the Esplanade at 8am and it lasted till 8pm.So again, very very tiring.And i'm really thankful that He sustained me and gave me the strength to do everything for His glory. Yea i admit i did complain a bit la...but ultimately, as Henry reminded me,do everything for Him and it was a privilege to do things unto Him:)
Fourth, for all the people He's put around me.My mum who's always been there for me.My friends,people like ZhiYun,Caleb,Ivan and Ryan whom i can always open up my heart to.To speak freely about anything,no taboos,no restrictions,just how we feel.For Jiaho,QZ and gang.We've come a long long way:) For the people in church,they always remind me about His grace and His works:) For Joanne,for the young love we share.Her smiles, her laughter,her eyes.For the chance to guide and care for her.And a reminder to myself of my own responsibilities.:)
God bless:)
Your grace is sufficient for me!:)
