a good day.
wat is a good day for you?
i think I had a good day. Its not a day you're happily bursting out in the seams.. but a day where, I felt good peace. Allow me to share it with you.
Work as usual in camp wasn't easy..but managed to get work done. N my superior helped settle 1 other. So it was rewarding.
Followed by the afternoon..during our daily battlion pt.. we were allowed to do sports and games. It was a freaky hot afternoon. in a team of PES C, my basketball team won after much struggle, and I scored one basket..it was amusing...but thanks to better playing players around, and our opponet's generosity..
the exercise was stopped at 4.30pm...we had a short de-brief...even though by then, sweating lots, our company guys decided to play a little more 'parade-sq' soccer. It was rather funny, 19 of us, in the hot sun, at the parade sq..
anyway...once again, the team i was in, seem to be an under-dog team,but amsuingly somehow we managed to play as a team, and before we know it, our team was leading by 3 goals..of course, my other buddies, were shocked, therefore, they decided, since they couldn't defend our attacks, they were going to keep launching at us...and immediately they scored 2 back... but..there was all they scored. the game finished, 9-2...it was kinda fun. there were no hard tackles, lots of 'trash-talkin(which i didn't do!!!)' and it was an honour when the oppostion decided to use 2 guys to 'mark' me throughout the game..but i was more than glad, to make the open pass...I think my soccer has improved in bits, not in skills but maybe in reading the attack movements. I managed to put in slightly more than half my team goals..it was hilarous..
---------dinner was nice, but once again, I couldn't eat much. Terrible appettite, and as I was struggling, my mum gently asked me, if I wanted to share my 'problems' with her. I did, to the best of my ability. She listen and advised.. and I was glad she didn't really question further, becoz I don't know wat to answer. She loves her alot too...and I was glad she'll think of her well..
I ended the evening with more tv programmes...
such as CSI- its cool...ROCKY III etc...
it wasn't tat I just needed an escape...but I needed to try somethings, get my life in shape.
Yes, my body stings now, with all the joints complaining how I exercise too much, but I believe that is wat part of us is for, to continue to exercise beyond our comfort zone, and keep trying and being a good stewart for wat God has blessed me for. I've allowed several friends to watch over me, and if I'm out-of-line, they're there to get me out.
Lastly, I end with this revleation... Choices and freedom.-----------
I believe when you love someone, you allow the person the freedom to choose all the time. This revleation was given to me when I was 17.. if you have love for the person, let the person exercise the freedom to choose. N on our own, we must identify how we choose to live out this freedom. Just like Christ gave us the freedom to accept and make choices in our lives. Every single day. Commitment isn't against freedom. Let me share further.
When 2 people are together, dating..they can make a committment to each other, therefore they don't date others. But each day, they exercise the freedom to choose if they wish to respect the committment made. When one day the choice has changed, then of course, the committment has now changed. They're still committed but, their nature of committment has changed. Recongnising our freedom to choose is very special. I believe its a gift from God. And for me, I extend it to my love ones, friends becoz like forgivness, it was first extended to me.
Therefore I end with this, how our lives can change, or have changed, it important to recognise our freedom to choose. If this singular person is going to be a major influence in my life, its my choice to let how much of wat he says dicitate what I'm going to do. The final decision is mine. The responsibilty is mine to bare, and I've to make it, consicious tat wat I reap not only affects me, but all the people tat I love too, and GOD. God nature doesn't change, but your relationship with him can. Therefore its best to consult others before I make a decision and using my freedom to choose which path. Simply becoz of the 'ripple' effect..
I have always maintain that one of the best love act I can do, is to allow my love one to choose and exercise their freedom in their own lives, with only my input not command. My input isn't law, but its the best advise I feel for the person. How the person reacts, I can only pray that God's faithfulness and grace will pull him/her thru.
I pray for the ppl tat didn't even get a chance to choose. Becoz others had taken the rights. And for those who aren't able to exercise this freedom properly, I advise that u seek counsel often, and from ppl that has gone thru similar issues.
And I choose to end now.
Thank u for readin.
