New unit, new environment, new bunk (I'll complain about it later on), new superiors. I don't really like change but thats life you know? I've got to go through another month of trainee life before I can spread out my 'specialist wings' and glide towards ORD. I'm going for my ATP shoot (live firing) on thursday and friday. 2 whole days under a training shed with a hundred smelly soldiers and my rifle. I'm not going to put my hopes up on getting the marksman badge. Not when I need new glasses.

I've been wanting to spend time with God praying recently but I'm always rushing it. I getting distracted alot constantly. My mind is always wandering.

Was talking to Elissa on the phone and it sort of made me understand the different thresholds, values and expectations that different people have. So what seems alright to me may actually be getting on someone else's nerves. But my standard is based on what the bible says (or at least I try). Come to think of it, I need to have a getaway soon. Time to refocus... My destination is still the same, but I'm definitely not in the right state. I might not get there if I stay like this.

::: Song of the Day :::
The more I seek You, the more I find You
the more I find You, the more I love You

I wanna sit at your feet
Drink from the cup in your hand
Lay back against you and breathe
Feel your heartbeat
This love is so deep
It's more than I can stand
I melt in your peace
It's overwhelming
| glorious - the more i seek you |
