What a week!

This week could have been worse, I thank God for providing sufficiently.
The weather was kind this week, with rain
The pace started picking up on Tuesday night when our battalion when for a 2 days 2 nights exercise. That means sleeping outfield, eating combat ration, getting bites from mosquito.
Apparently things turn out so much better than expected. We got to sleep on different vehicles (for most of the time, in fact), had snacks and soft drinks with instant noodles as our meals. Mosquito bites were really rare, thanks to the mosquito coils and repellent sprays. Everything was good less the comfort of beds. Ha.
Friday marks the start of many parade rehearsals we are going in preparation for two major parades. Parade rehearsals is always under the merciless sun and just half a day of drills already left my skin slightly red and burnt.
Saturday was duty day. Thank God one of my friend swapped with me his sentry duty with my prowling duty. This means no prowling (walking around camp) which often can be real tiring after 4 shifts of it. Doing sentry is basically standing and even sitting down at the gate area.

Today was kinda tiring. I sort of taught the younger guys for the 1st time today. It definitely wasn't easy. No amount of preparation can remove the nervousness. Haha. Soccer in the afternoon was draining, especially when there wasn't adequate rest the night before.

人在做，天在看 is one quote that somewhat talks about you reap what you sow. There somewhat this link to today's message which struck me on how God is the sole audience of your words and actions, not men.
The chorus of a song I heard also talks similarly.
"Is it gonna burn?
What you build in this life.
Is it gonna burn?
Will you lose it all?
When your work is tried.
Will you lose it all?"

I have been reading quite a bit of christian books recently (the book on the prayer of Jabez this week), yet I think nothing beats the truths found in the Bible. Have been trying to go back to reading some new testament books, praying for strength to do it despite the rather hectic weeks coming ahead.

Philippians 4:8 talks about mediating on things that edify, are loving....
2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.


Too tired and clouded to continue with my chain of thoughts. Thats all for now.
Continue to seek God and ask just like Jabez.
