Booking Out and the Pain
Thank God. I managed to book out on Friday night. The so-called 2 weeks of confinement week are over, and it is going to be tougher when the following week comes as the sergeants are allowed to punish us after the confinement period. I will still thank God for that.
Everyone is looking forward to booking out and so am I. I saw a couple of letters on my table and one of the letters was from NTU. It says my application for NTU has been approved. I was very happy and say at the same time. I am happy because my application is successful. I am sad because I am not sure of whether I can go for further studies a not since I am a regular in the SAF. The possible way to go for my degree is to get selected for OCS and after that, apply for scholarship and then disrupt the bond and go for my degree after the 9 months training. This is one of my prayer request from God as stated in the previous blog entry.
I really wanted to go for the degree course and hope that God permits me to. But the bottom line is, if God’s will is to let me go for the degree, I will definitely go no matter what and the same goes for the opposite. This is a 'want' for me. Until God allows me to pursue my degree, it will become a 'need' as the path laid for me will be a glorifying one.
Everything happens for a reason. But most of the time, we do not know what is the reason for a particular tragedy or the situation we are facing. One thing is for sure - everything that happens be it good or bad is planned by God alone. Even the temptations and trials in our lives from satan is permitted from God before it was allowed in our life. Christians experience trials. Trials that persecute us are meant to mould us into Christlikeness.
Throughout the 2 weeks in tekong, I really suffered together with my platoon mates and we will be suffering more when we return on Wednesday. I always tell myself, no matter how tough and hard the suffering is, it cannot be compared to the suffering that Jesus had done for us. Imagine yourself in Jesus' shoes and the people was like spitting on you, punching and kicking you, humiliate you and then nail you on the cross. Not forgetting to visualize the pain while the people are nailing your hands and legs on the cross and then compare to the suffering we are having today. Until you have realize, the suffering here is nothing.
I have my pains. And the pain is nothing compared to the pain Jesus endured for me. Jesus shed blood at that time and I shed tears now. That is how big the difference when we compare the suffering - blood and tears.
