Blister Plaster

Hobbling around the house right now. And yes thanks to two large blisters on my feet. Courtesy of 12km route march during the situational (sit) test. I honestly never ever get blisters, but this time some sand managed to get in my boots after the 4km mark. The friction = heat = blisters. =(

Well sit test was fine. Wasn't able to complete it to my fullest thanks to the blisters, problems with appetite, a minor ankle twist and slight after effects of 4km fast march exhaustion. After all that, and managing to survive, I'm just glad that I'm back home safe and sound now.

Have been going through the books of Deuteronomy and Joshua. And my eyes are now open to the importance of the book of Deuteronomy. Not only was it a book of law for the Israelites, its order gives all of us here now a rough idea how to live a godly life here on earth. And... Jesus quoted Deuteronomy the most out of all the OT books. I find that absolutely wonderful.

It reminded me that the life I live should be an act of worship. Even through the toughest times, knowing that I was a Christian warrior for the Lord was enough encouragement.

Besides that have been reading "Songs from Above" by Lamar Boschman. Essentially its a study of the book of Revelation, and how to link worship to the things seen in heaven. Still going through it... A bit cheem but I think I get it. It'll be hard to summarise though.

One last thing I've gone through is the book "23 mins in hell" which I got from Darren's cupboard over the CNY break. It really intrigued me, and reminded me that I still had a task to perform even though I'm still in the army, and the army has a rather "godless" atmosphere, which we as Christians must try to not fall into. Gotta break that atmosphere instead though its tough.

Alright will be booking out in the evening next saturday cos I'll be throwing grenades and shooting targets. Hope I don't get confined... Seems pretty tough keep a clean sheet.

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time!

Vox Humana

497th post. Its been a rather pleasant weekend, filled with Gihon and worship stuff. Really enjoyed myself baking with Gihon. Wished we could've taken a vid of everyone for Youth Day... Probably will have to meet them one day to film them haha. Probably will organise a homework doing session for them to complete everything before the hols end. Well Father's Day celebrations today went quite well... Only had a couple of hours to practise for the hoedown, and practise for the worship went comparatively better than the prac during camp. It was my first time playing piano/organ/keys/trumpets/vox for worship, and I'm glad it went ok, and I did it with God. Driving test is on friday... Not too worried about it, and also have no prob with failing it actually. Taking it easy, but hoping for good news. I guess its the peace that transcends all understanding thats taking over. And the most important thing for me for this test is not whether I pass or fail, but whether God was with me
