Celebrating God's sustainment.


Today marked the 30th year my church has functioned. For myself, I have been in this church since I was born, naturally, the attachment is there. And it was a special occassion. I thought it was appropriate that I could even return to the church a portion of what it has given me by serving as an usher. The performances were great, the singing was great, and the food was great. Everything about today seemed good. Thanking God and the people whom He used to sustain the church, from 30 people, to around 100 odd. It has certainly come a long way. And seeing old uncles and aunties who used to care for me was quite interesting. Some of them married. Some definitely looking older. And for those who have been there in the church for the 30 years, it must have been an amazing night. Just recalling all those special moments the church has been through. The peaks, and the depths. And praying that God give us the grace to go on till He comes again.


Returning home after an eventful night, the headline of today's edition of The Straits Times did surprise me. "SAF officer is top overseas cadet at Sandhurst". Reading on, I realised actually how far that soldier had actually made it. Becoming the top overseas cadet. What an amazing acheivement. Knowing that you are one of the best, not just within your country. But in the world. That is my dream as well. When I serve National Service, that is where I am aiming for. Not to become the best in the world. Nor in Singapore. But I want to become a commissioned officer. Not everyone believes it is worth the effort. But I do. And I will try my best, and hopefully, I will get there.

Reminiscence the past, cherish the present, look forward to the future with hope.

When discipline is present, it is evident. It is the precise control of every aspect of one's self. It is the bedrock of success.
