Tuesday, February 27, 2007 Request for a Transfer "Letter, as if written from a soldier in the Lord's Army" To: Commander and Chief of the Spiritual Armed Forces, Jesus ChristDear Lord; I am writing this to You to request a transfer to a desk job. I herewith present my reasons: I began my career as a private, because of the intensity of the battle You have quickly moved me up in the ranks. You have made me an officer and given me a tremendous amount of responsibility. There are many soldiers and recruits under my charge. I am constantly being called upon to dispense wisdom, make judgments, and find solutions to complex problems. You have placed me in a position to function as an officer, when in my heart I know I have only the skills of a private. I realize that You have promised to supply all I would need for the battle. But Sir, I must present You a realistic picture of my equipment. My uniform, once so crisp and starched, is now stained with tears and blood of those I have tried to assist. The soles of my boots are cracked and worn from the miles I have walked trying to enlist and encourage the instructed troops. My weapons are marred, tarnished and chipped from constant battle against the enemy. Even the Book of Regulations (Bible) I was issued has been torn and tattered from endless use. The words are now smeared. You have promised You would be with me throughout, but when the noise of the battle is so loud and the confusion is so great, I can neither see nor hear You. I feel so alone. I'm tired. I'm discouraged. I have Battle Fatigue. I would never ask You for a discharge. I love being in Your service. I love you LORD, But I humbly request a demotion and transfer. I'll file papers or clean latrines. Just get me out of the battle--please, Sir. Your Faithful, but tired, Warrior. To: Faithful, but tired, Soldier, Spiritual Armed ForcesLocation: The Battlefield SUBJECT: Transfer Dear Soldier: Your request for transfer has been denied. I herewith present My reasons: You are needed in this battle. I have selected you, and I will keep My Word to supply your need. You do not need a demotion and transfer. (You'd never cut it on latrine duty.) You need a period of "R&R" -- Renewal and Rekindling. I am setting aside a place on the battlefield that is insulated from all sound and fully protected from the enemy. I will meet you there and I will give you rest. I will remove your old equipment and "make all things new again." You have been wounded in the battle, My soldier. Your wounds are not visible, but you have received grave internal injuries. You need to be healed. I will heal you. You have been weakened in the battle. You need to be strengthened. I will strengthen you and be your strength. I will instill in you confidence and ability. My Words will rekindle within you and renewed love, zeal and enthusiasm. Report to Me, my tattered and empty soldier. I will strengthen you. Compassionately, Your Commander and Chief, Jesus Christ Daniel at 11:19:00 PM
Sunday, February 18, 2007 Time has passed super fast... Its been a month plus at kranji secondary and its already CNY. Really looking forward to starting school.. ha, guess my brain will be super rusty.. It'll be a new phase of life where I pray that God will continue to direct my life there, that i'll stand firm by convictions and know that God is always here with me despite the circumstances, the storms. I have been thinking of going into teaching in future because it is a way that God can use me to impact the youths' lives. I really enjoy the time that I spend with the students at Kranji Sec currently, can see alot of brokenness in some of the students over there; there are students there who do not know why they are studying. Is it possible for revival among the students there? With God, all things are possible. Daniel at 6:01:00 PM
