thought maybe i'd fit in a post before i crash. (so sleepy)
speaking about crashing, it was so unfortunate today to crash into some guy's bicycle. thank God he's alright. what's unfortunate is that i'll have to pay for the damaged wheel. =( so there goes any more outings until Jan 10, which is payday! (oh won't it come sooner)
nevertheless, the issue is over and after tomorrow hopefully everything can be done and dusted and it won't be a problem again. i was surprised by the way i handled it. at the risk of sounding immodest, i was very proud that i did not freak out, or do the cowardly thing and run away or do the bastardly thing and shout back. it was all quite civilised and the guy was really nice and soo hwee thinks he's 'cute' so i'm going to give her his number. haha! think i did learn a lesson from this incident, and in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.
today's service was just so awesome. i must admit i was pretty caught up in getting things done, making sure the videos were screened on time and everything was moving smoothly that i wasn't totally able to immerse myself in the proceedings. i think that is a weakness, being so busy, so busy, running around that i can forget to slow down and seek God first. it will have to be worked on.
it just came to my mind that i'll be back in camp in less than 24hours time. oh the horror! i guess this caps the end of a nearly 3-week hiatus from the army. it was the most awesome 3 weeks of the year, and i'll be looking forward that by December this year i will have my Pink IC back. oh the joy that floods my heart everytime i think of it, and the anticipation that is killing me softly as i agonise at the 11 months standing in the way. the problem with time is that there is nothing one can do to make it go faster, or, for that instance, to make it go slower. while we are brought up to believe that we can do anything as long as we put our mind to it (just ask Miley Cyrus: there's always gonna be another mountain, i'm always gonna wanna make it move...) but when the mountain that stands in the way between your present state and your goal is time, there is precious little we can do but wait for it to pass. and in the meantime make good use of the time. patience is the virtue that is taught here i suppose...
so tired now, but so looking forward to going to church tomorrow. last day of the 3-week hiatus, first service of the new year, first book in of 2010...
with Christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm...
