When His will is Done
Have you ever pray to God your prayer requests and tell Him how you want certain things to happen? But of course, may His will be done – that’s the first and foremost we must state in our prayers.
For me, I often pray to God of the things I want and need and provide God with ‘solutions’ in telling Him how the situation may turn out eventually. In the end, as you know – your will might not be God’s will anyway. And that is why we say ‘His will be done in His way and His time’. So that in this way, we may give thanks and praises to Him even when things don’t happen according to what we want. This is obedience – spiritual obedience.
I can say that all the prayer requests that God answered is always through a situation and circumstance such that I would have never (ever) thought of. For example, I have made a prayer to God and state all the possible means I could thought of in accomplishing certain task. In other words, I couldn’t think of how this specific task can be accomplished without going through the means I have thought of. But the amazing thing is, when the task was accomplished and I thought back, it wasn’t through ANY of the means that I have told God about. Instead, God made it possible through a way and means that I never could have thought of or imagine.
God can perform all things that far exceed our imaginations. Therefore, it is only to our imagination if we limit God of what He can do.
For we are limited. Far too limited. Perhaps limited to the extent that is far greater than we can imagine.
In retrospect, understand First His ability – not even the word ‘infinity’ can define. For there is no words that can be used to describe His fullness. For anything is describable by words is limited afterall.
Second, keep the right attitude by not limiting God by stating how things, situations or circumstances is ‘going’ to happen. For its going to happen the ‘Extraordinary’ way – a way that we never dare dream or imagine about.

Mid-Course Gathering > Paint ('Pain') Ball Challenge
This gathering marks the end of our Basic phase of Engineer Officer Cadet Course (EOCC).
The end of one chapter leads to the begining of the other - the specialized phase.
Though seperating, the memories will stay on.
The day awaits, when we will meet again in the consolidation phase before the Parade.
The officers' creed
"I am the officer of the singapore armed forces
my duty is to lead, to excel and to overcome
I lead my men by example
I answer for their training, morale and discipline
I must excel in everything I do
I serve with pride, honor and integrity
I will over adversity with courage, fortitude and determination
I will delicate my life to singapore"
With respect to the creed, I shall fulfill it with Your grace.
