sick...

Fever,flu,cough... Bleah.... Had it on sunday morning, but I decided to 'tahan' as long as I could... Apparently I couldn't and had to see MO on monday night... Had att C for three days, going back to camp in about 10 hours time... Well, I just hope that I'll be well again by sat's field camp... Excited by it, yet I keep thinking of the many not so exciting things that one might/will encounter in the jungles of Pulau Tekong...

Army life has been rather up and down so far for me... There are the plus points of getting to know so many new faces and friends, but also the negative points about knowing some of their other not so glamourous sides... I sometimes find myself in that situation too, sometimes I realise I can/might do some of the things I normally would not expect myself to do.... Whether that is good or bad, I do not know... But I just pray for wisdom and spiritual discernment to know the things that I should and should not do...

I thank God for the things that He bring me through each day... I was especially worried about my range, as I fared quite badly in the IMT simulation... But I thank a good friend who shared with me this verse... Proverbs 3: 5-6 " Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thy own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths". It was a verse I memorised and went through as I was shooting, and it did help me a lot... Even though my rifle screwed up on me 80% of the time, I did manage to pass... And I thank God for that, and I also thank you for that :)

Proverbs 16:9 "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps"
