In Every Season

It’s been barely a month since I’ve enlisted into the army. My second book out, and I’m already out of Pulau Tekong and have been posted to the Republic of Singapore Air Force. God has been truly faithful as He’s always been. I must admit that as much as being in PES C, everything was still pretty tough cos I really am a free spirit and suffered from major only-child syndrome cos I feel like I need to be by myself but there will always be people around, shouting, swearing. Extra thankful for my iPod. 

Again, I’ve been so blessed to be with the people who I went through Tekong with. I honestly was placed in the best section with people who had a balance of being really serious about army and yet incredibly hilarious. I spent a good time in there laughing with the new friends I’ve made and terribly miss some of them now.

In any case, I’m happy to be out and in the Air Force. Everything is so different in there and well, everything is just different but son enough, I’ll have a good portion of my life back because I expect to run in office hours. I suppose the beginning is always the toughest because you’ve gotta adapt, you’ve gotta learn new things, you’ve gotta live with new people and I will say, the worst thing about this is knowing that everyone is around, everyone loves you but you’ve gotta disconnect for awhile.

It’s been hard to feel God really but again, it’s never been about my feelings even though they seem the most real at times. I thank God He’s way beyond that and when I can’t feel Him, I just put my trust in His heart. As always, He’s guided me, granted me favour, being posted to the Air Force is proof enough. His hand is so evident in my life. He’s still got my back, still the proud parent, still my stability.

I miss leading worship. I miss being in cell. I miss my solid ground but I know when I return, I will return stronger. I really can’t wait to be back fully with Him leading the worship team, leading my cell group with my sister Vick, to be back writing new songs and to be back serving with the people I love most. There just isn’t anything that can compare to being in the right place, at the right time, doing what you were created to do. But for now, I shall heed His word.

“Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord You will receive Your inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” 

-Colossians 3:22-24
