Everyday is breezing past with the 25th creeping up on me.
Enlistment day (:

I must say the world is very different with half your friends in the army, the other half working and you are the one caught in the middle. Its quite weird :P But i'm sure God meant me to spend these extra days meaningfully.

Mixing with the NS group has definitely been enjoyable and an interesting experience, i guess i've learnt a little more of how the ministry works and how it feels to have a weekend ministry. Its definitely not easy considering NS men spend 5 days in camp and your limited time left you will really want to cherish. It'll be challenging and tiring for all my other brothers, tho for me it might be slightly less coz of my potential 8-5 posting. I just pray that God will see us through this period because it will be a time for moulding and a time for looking and reflecting on how we are and who we truly are. Without a safe and protected environment, will we still hold on to the values we hold so dear to ourselves. I'm looking forward yet a little afraid but i'm sure somehow God will deliver.

Adapting has been a bit of a challenge in some sense (: But thanks to my new shepherd, Peter and the friendly NS guys things aren't so tough to get along. Just that i miss the enlisted guys who make up my caregroup and that perhaps i'm not so in sync with the culture as well as the way things go around that group that makes things challenging. Weariness creeps in and dryness set in a little which leaves me struggling to keep my focus on what i want to do and how i want to grow. God, i heard your voice (: I'll keep my eyes on You and keep going (:

I really wanna thank God that these days haven't been as mundane as i thot it to be, slowly finding myself in my thoughts as well as looking back on old hobbies again. I also want to thank God for some faithful friends who have really blessed me (: Thank you all!

This post is just a brief overview of what has been happening and what i've been thinking of and if anyone wants to be nice, do give me a call and meet me for a meal or sth! HAHAHA sometimes altho things aren't so bad but the boredom does set in. Its always nice to see a familiar face. (:

I've been reading this old card again and again today and it just brought back memories and i don't know if things are still the same or have they changed so drastically... maybe someday things will get better...

You are my all in all
