Thank You For Saving Me

At the stroke of midnight on Good Friday I was listening to this song by Delirious, and I really thought it was appropriate for the occasion. Its a beautiful song IMO. Out of all the songs I heard on Good Friday, I think this one speaks to my soul the most.

Thank You For Saving Me ~ Delirious?

Thank You for saving me
What can I say?
You are my everything
I will sing your praise
You shed Your blood for me
What can I say?
You took my sin and shame
A sinner called by name

Great is the Lord
Great is the Lord
For we know Your truth has set us free
You've set Your hope in me
Mercy and grace are mine
Forgiven is my sin
Jesus my only hope
The Saviour of the world

"Great is the Lord" we cry!
God let your kingdom come
Your world has let me see
Thank you for saving me

Went down to RJ, and boy has it changed a lot. Theres a climbing facility behind the red track which looks really exciting. The staff room has been extended, and there are more security posts. The ground floor area outside LT2 now has various hanging exhibits. Cool.

Finally got the chance to take some photographs at the board game outing as well as the Surprise! birthday bash for Rach. Ok shall post them up.


Shu, Mel and Ernest.


Paul. Oops didn't take any photos of Amanda.



Pig stacking?


"I don't wanna live any more lol?" Persona style.

Here I am asking people to say something.

Ok my posting is: Signals Infocomm2

Which means that I'll be carrying around a heavy signal set and going around sending signals. Yup. But even so, the training isn't so harsh, at least according to the information given by others in the sgforums.

Perks include: No IPPT, No SOC. Nights Out every wednesday. Wake up at 7:45. Day ends at 5:30 so OTOT training from 6pm onwards. Get to learn new stuff. Near my house! (Bonus bonus bonus point)

Downsides include: Route march with signal set on back. Mugging 11 courses in 6 weeks. Have to sit for tests. (Oh man even here in the army?) Must stay in on weekdays.

I'm satisfied.

Well my section mates. 2 of them went to OCS. 1 to Recee, 2 to Drivers and the rest to SISPEC. Wondering whether I'd make it to any command school if I hadn't expressed no.

But I don't regret it. To put it bluntly: I'd rather learn leadership serving in a ministry than in an organisation so devoid of God. They say you'll get perks after OCS or SISPEC. But you know what? I seriously don't care. The moment I chose God I chose to forsake all wordly things. The pay, knowledge, privilege, authority doesn't mean a thing to me.

There you have it. Honestly I'm a bit sick of people asking me why I refused OCS and SISPEC.

I'm a left brainer. But just now you just saw a bit of my right brain. I should use it more, to become a whole brainer, yes? Gah.

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!

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
