Post It......

Haha, it's been ages since I last blogged and having the chance to finally be back in civilization it's a good time to do some updates.

Wells.. eventually I'm back to doing shift work, meaning that I'll be back in camp tomorrow, crap. But just endure... 1 more year to go and also with the new schedule, hopefully I'll be able to serve God again soon. I can't wait to be back!

Missed out alot last week. Wasn't around to see Ivan, who finally booked out after confinement! I'm looking forward to hanging out with him soon, haha. I guess it's really an HOGC army guy's thing, whenever we book out we head down to church. To enter into the presence of God and God's people. Being around pastors, the leaders and the close friends that you have, just really soothes your soul, haha.

Like Ivan said, we miss all of you! Even in camp, we always think of you. That's why sometimes you get smses from us, and of course the smses that we receive from you guys mean alot too!

And yeah.. fellowship, haha. Been lacking that the past week, though I got to have it yesterday while hanging out the drummers, haha. Just talked and did nonsense, it was a therapeutic session for all of us, haha.

So yep, that's about it for this entry, I'm quite scared about friday. Going to have a grand finale to end our training before we turn ready.... Got to do well or at least pass, my weekend can't be burnt again!

More than Words......

Ha, wrote this in camp after finishing up my journal entry, so thought that I should post this;

"My heart's cry on the inside
Though one may struggle to and fro
But hanging on is the thing to do
No longer are we in control, but
His ways are that we should go.

No longer do we live our lives
But now it's Christ who's on the inside
Though thousands may fall on our sides
He will bring us into His Light.

So keep the faith and that fight
Because he who holds on wins the prize
Many have kept and ran this race
So let us continue to keep the pace

Loving You with all our hearts
As You did, with Your Blood.
The Cross on Calvary was stained
With His blood and price which He has paid"

Yeah, was super inspired after writing it, ha. Wells, that's all for now, maybe another entry in the night, haha

True Worshippers......

It's a good day in the office, ha. Woke up at 7am and watched some drum videos and also finally I could grasp a little bit more of the half time shuffle, ha. But still... I've got a long long way to go.

Anyways, that aside. It's really a great feeling to be in church. I miss the days of being on staff, being around in the office doing work and serving my Pastors. It was just good to have been able to do it even if it's just for 1 day. Like King David said, one day in Your courts, is better than a thousand in the world.

Oh yeah, was talking to Liane just now while I wanted to post and we said that Indonesian's have really powerful worship songs. Wells, if you didn't know, Captivated is from true worshippers, which is from the Church, Jakarta Praise Community Church. They also did songs like, Amazing, Alleluia to Christ and the new song, Hati Hamba which actually means Servant's Heart.

Was just reading through the lyrics while 41st day was doing soundcheck and was already so impacted by it. The lyrics are more than just lyrics, it is really a revelation of one's personal journey with God. It's just super zai la.

Anyways, think that's about it for this entry, I can't wait got service later!

Growth!

Haha, been awhile since I last updated my blog, so here it goes... haha

It's been a tiring week at 'work' ha, cause been doing alot of admin work after having been nominated and chosen as the IC. Wells.. I'm just waiting for a change! But it's been quite relaxed as there's been having alot of free time as the course ends like... next week? Ha, so I'm just waiting to see what's going to happen after this course, ha.

Anyways, I'm in church now, getting the chance to stay overnight, which I have not done in ages, and I'm actually really happy to have had the chance to do so in a very very long time. To be able to serve my Pastors is such a great privilege!

Many things have been in my mind recently, about what's the current season for myself, and it's really just about growth. Wells, like Pastors shared with us before, we as Christians need to be progressive people. We need to be people who are constantly growing and moving on in God and in life. So yep, grow man grow!

It's already September, and in like 3 months, it's going to be December and the year ends, exciting year it has been. And it's just the beginning! I can't wait to see how much more God will be taking us. So to you readers out there, to the many years ahead!
