I'm home again. I'm still getting used to blogging again. I sometimes feel so reluctant to write but its a discipline I have to instill in myself. Just like prayer and reading the Word.

Getting called back to camp when you're supposed to be on MC isn't very fun. But I guess it feels good to be needed and it feels good that to some people, you're still of value. I spent most of the day trying to do directory replication. The whole thing was made more complicated because of the state of some of the other unit's servers. Some of the harddisks haven't been reformatted in years making the Operating Systems super laggy. Another new technology that we're aiming to utilise is the V-Sat. Its a marked improvement from the Trunk Communication System which was like using a 28.8 kbps modem to play warcraft 3.

I've made a new promise to God and so far its been going alright. There's so much more to achieve in all this. Praying and growing in my relationship with Him is my number one priority. Not because I'm going to bible school but especially because I'm going to bible school. Its hard to explain. For the past few years, God has been telling me to pray. Time and again, He has said... "Your work is to pray, daryl." I've not been very obedient and I've not grown as much as I could have these 2 years.

I've come to realise that my work to pray was not as a favour to others... or to the church or the pastor. It was for myself as a child of God. For my benefit, my growth, to attain my maturity, to walk out my path. God was telling me that my job was to talk and listen to Him.

Its inexplicable how we are blind to what we have and see only what we lack.
