Oh God...

BMT's coming to an end.. haha.. the past few weeks that i didn't blog were pretty hectic.. field camp, road march, grenade live throw, etc etc.. lotsa stuff.. haha.. field camp was bad.. it poured every single day.. so we practically had to sleep in mud every night.. and the storm would come in the middle of the night and drench us all.. i was having a flu n sore throat and a terrible cough.. so the weather made me suffer so badly.. i was on the verge of breaking down man.. n was just about to start whining to God about why He did not hear my prayers for fine weather when He suddenly reminded me of what happened the last time i met a major obstacle.. it was that time when i fell ill after the encounter with the evil spirit when i denied God for not healing me and granting me the victory.. when the flashback came, i was reminded of how i had made a covenant with God on the day He delivered me, that i would never deny Him anymore.. i immediately prayed for forgiveness and asked for His strength to hang on through this trial.. and the moment i prayed, i felt this immense peace and calmness.. what's even more amazing was the weather cleared up and on the last day of camp, which was the day after i prayed that prayer, the weather was sunny and breezy and my gastric flu was gone too.. God was truly there with me.. haha.. thinking back, i can sincerely testify that throughout my whole BMT period, God was with me even though i did not read the bible that often.. His grace was upon me and i could sense Him supporting me through all the trainings and stuff.. I was even granted favour in the eyes of my commanders and that was good cause life was easier.. haha.. God even blessed me with a half day off for winning the marksman competition during the live firing, a night out (which recruits aren't supposed to get) for outstanding performance, and a day off for being part of the banner team which painted the winning banner (which the Sir said was the best he ever saw).. haha.. and on top of this, i got to fire the M16 in auto mode (which recruits aren't supposed to), and the SAW (section assault weapon).. haha.. it sure was a fun experience, and I thank God for how gracious He has been.. Praise be to Him, forever and ever and ever.. Amen.
