This week has been on extremes. It was my birthday week. But on my birthday itself, it was really terrible, yet God's really amazing as to how He makes crappy things go well. Let me share a bit now on the key events that kinda toOk place.
On my birthday eve, i was walking through the jungle and everything cause there was this navigation test kinda thing and groups of 4 had to go find checkpoints all arOund Tekong. Anyway, my group got back at 12am or so, which actually was my birthday already. I was really tired, and i din get to talk to some1 i really wanted to causE that person slept already, and i felt crappy. I had to do my laundry also and that really din feel good to have to do such things early in the Morning of my birthday. So anyway, i left my 11b(an IC for NS pple like me) on my wooden cabinet for easy access. It was the 1st and only time i did it. Then i slept at 2am. The OC came at 3am to every room and "stole" all the 11b's and maps that were left in the open and woke EVERYONE up at 3.30am. It din feel good at all to be woken up like that. Cut this part short, he wanted to charge everyone who had their 11b and maps in the open, and well, i was one of them. Sheesh, charge? like what the heck, it's just an 11b, and HE was the one who stole it somemore, the nerve. Felt like crap cause it might also mean i couldn't bOok out on saturday, and this saturday meant something to me.
So well, the morning itself was really very crappy to me. the rest of the day i thought there'd be a 5km run which i was dreading cause i was really tired after walking around tekong the whole day the day before. But God was really cool, he made it rain and we din have to run. He even gave me super long free times and i felt that bit better. My birthday wasn't anything special or what since it was in camp itself. Bah. Oh well. anyway, i spent time with God and He gave me this verse with regards to being charged or confined.Isaiah 31:5 " Like birds hovering overhead, the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem;
He will shield it and deliver it, He will 'pass over' it and will rescue it"I was really surprised to have read this verse, but i believed and claimed it at that time, that i won't be punished at all for it. I din believe it 100%, i had my doubts, but it was a 85% kinda thing. So well, the next day, the OC said "You'll only be confined on saturday for the next 2 weeks". At that point i was like "Lord, i thought wun be punished at all??" But i still believed that a miracle would happen, about 75% or so. So well, on friday itself, when the list of confinement pple were being read, my name wasn't read!!!! i was like "My goodness!!! Thank You Lord!! =) " and that had to be the best birthday present i could have.
Well, on saturday itself, i din bring my notebook cause it was outfield training, and i thought my book will get dirtied, so din bring. THEN, the OC had to come to ONLY my platoon, and the next thing gave me a shock of my life "all those who dun have notebooks, confine tonight". That really made my morale go from 100 to -200. My face just changed from =) to =( cause i thought i could do what i wanted to at night already, and now this?! I thought of the verse and i kinda believed it 55% or so, but i was still sad. That thing at night really meant a lot to me. I was praying real hard about it when i had the time, though half of it was in despair though. So book out time came, i had to ask whether we could book out or not, and guess what, my staff sergeant said "all those notebook pple can book out with the rest" and i was like "!!!!!!!!!YEAHH~" hahaz.
This had to be the best birthday present i ever had. =)
So bottomline, trust in God yar?
