Sunday, March 29, 2009;
So police life has started and im home here now on a sunday morning. Cant say that police has been anything ive expected so far. On the contrary, its been very different in many aspects and Im still getting to grips with how things work and the level of standard expected. Perhaps its the not knowing of so many things that are leading to excessive and probably unnecessary worry and stress.
Honestly, we do get numerous privileges here. Shall list them to show myself
1) Free time from 7 or 730pm
2) We get to shower after morning pt before class
3) There's gonna be class to keep the mind sharp
4) Allowed to bring unlimited food in
5) 2 to a room with no lights out time
6) Mess food is pretty good
7) We dont get herded around, instead we move around through ics - messy at the moment but should get really neat when everything is sorted out
8) Friday bookouts - how can i forget this. Usually around 6pm
9) Late sunday night book-ins - 9pm
10) Lots of admin time esp after lunch and on friday
Not-so-good Things
1) Tough regimentation - Boots must be shined and clothes iron till crisp
2) Always rushing, esp for meals - eg.5-10mins for breakfast,15-20 mins for lunch.dinner
3) PT can be intensive (not yet, but i foresee it)
4) Very few christians. I think this is probably the toughest so far. Unlike in BMT when my section had bout 5 christians where albert was so devout and you can see BS and Aaron reading their bible sometime and I still remember Tedrid bringing in his christian lyrics
5) Actually, there arent really too many tough things.
Even though sometimes it gets me down and everything, I shall cling on and claim the promise that God has given me.
"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me"Philippians 4:13
Everything that is happening is happening for a reason in God's pleasing and perfect plan. So Lord, I pray that you give me the faith to trust in You always and knowing that you would only only only have the best in store for Your children. Lord, I commit everything in the impending week to you, my police and my medicine interview. Lord bless me and reveal yourself to me this week as your presence shines in my life. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
