I just watched Dodgeball with Xiong, Liwei, Gerald and Angelina... We initially didn't buy a ticket for Xiong because of a miscommunication. But thankfully we could get another ticket for the seat in the row in front of us. Killer show with classic lines so stupid that they became funny. Ben Stiller was hilariously lame...

Less than week till enlistment. I almost had a panic attack yesterday afternoon. But I guess reading the book of Joshua has been encouraging me. How did Joshua become such a great leader? Simply by listening to what God told him to do. Pure & simple... How did Joshua & Israel sustain their faith? I think one of the key reasons was that they remembered the goodness of God and how He had sustained them since they left Egypt. This was evident in the stones that they put up every once in a while. I guess this blog is what you may call my 12 stones.

Been praying about whether or not I should aim for OCS... Not even sure if I have the capability to achieve that. But as people always remind me, if God plans for me to go, He will provide the means to. I will just prepare myself spiritually, mentally and physically to obey and carry through with it. Just like the way Joshua led Israel to success after success. All because he consulted God and obeyed. In fact, the only time they met with failure was when he didn't consult God. And even so, God provided a way back into the path of success.

So proud of Jeremy and the way he has started the prayer group in his bunk. If I manage to do the same, I'll be satisfied with myself. There's something for me to do in army. He's been preparing me for this for 2 years...

::: Verses of the Day :::
Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the children of Israel, one man from every tribe; and Joshua said to them:
"Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, "What do these stones mean to you?' Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever."
| Joshua 4:4-7 |
