A day of grand blessings from a heart of surrender. It all began yesterday when we did our Shooting Test, and I failed quite miserably on my first go. Praying, then resolving finally to perform my best regardless of the outcome, I wound up performing a lot better than expected, and was placed in a position to get a Marksmanship badge! Exhausted, I collapsed into my bunk at 12am...
To wake up at 4am to go take the dreaded SOC. Because I didn't confirm my name with the Inchek the day before, I could have easily backed out without consequence, but I don't know what possessed me to go up to the Inchek and say, "Inchek, you didn't write down my name yesterday, can I do the SOC today?"
WHAT?! THAT WAS NOT ME!!! So, anyways, having sealed my aching and exhausted body into doing the damned course that I have never overcome ever, I prayed a prayer, asking the Lord to once again take this test and do as He willed, because I have given up, so I'll do my best anyway, and see what He makes of it. That way, I have no regrets, and I'll know that I've worked in tandum with the Lord. By some miracle, I FINALLY PASSED MY SOC!!!!! YEEEESSSSS!!!!!
Following the exhilaration of a pass, we went on to complete the Shooting test, where I got a Markamanship badge at long last

Over a period of 2 days, the Lord accomplished through me two very impossible tasks, and the impossible was only accomplished when I had surrendered myself and my belief in my capabilities and trusted that He would be the one doing the work. Because knowing our capabilities and believing them are way different things. The fact that I know I can sing doesn't change the fact that at any moment we could lose our voice, or that the Lord may decide to recall His gift, because He's God, after all.
It's when we stop believing in our capabilities in doing a job well and just do it, keeping a prayerful attitude and believing in God instead, that's when the impossible happens, because belief is truly what powers our results so often.

Yet another friend of mine is being dragged into a situation involving sex. Will this world forever be corrupting all who walk upon its soil?
Also, realized I could've hung out with Li Yun for the past few weeks, but I stupidly assumed she was having exams... DOI!
