OPS, Faith and Giving

--OPS--

Well, slept at 4 plus this morning haha..after a tiring night ops. Basically 3 cars were scheduled for e operation. One CCK, one woodlands and one TL car. Because I know nuts and have ZERO experience, I tagged along with the TL haha.

Basically e main objective was deterrance of MVT (motor vehicle theft). And since I was in the TL's mobile, we patrolled both locations. Basically just go round carparks, in areas with high crime rate, on blinkers and scare off people who are trying to commit MVT.

The rationale behind this is really simple, since most NPCs have night shift teams, and the area is soo big and the really need manpower, so we, the office hours staff, get deployed for ops like these to help them 'look after' their zones/districts. Preventing crime and all. It lightens their work load and at the same time, residents can have the peace of mind that nothing will happen to their parked vehicles. But its not 100% fool-proof.

MVT cases still occur now and then.

Well, there's a few interesting things that occured. While patrolling on mobile, there's this really brave girl, but like someone said, "i dunno if its called brave or simply asking-for-it"..haha, this girl was wearing tshirt and shorts that couldnt be seen, jogging alone in the middle of the night, in some ulu spots somemore. =O omg..

Its was like...'visually distracting' haha..but at the same time, what was she thinking? If I had a girlfriend I wouldnt let her go jogging in the middle of the night alone. We patrolled from area to area, and almost every area, we would see her. O_O Either TL was driving in circles or she's really random..jogging anywhere and everywhere..lol.

And some pathways along the road, that she jogged on, were beside forested areas and abandoned houses. =/ So creepy lol.

After awhile, we parked quietly at another carpark with nobody around. Man..everywhere we went is quiet, dark and ulu. And then all of a sudden there was this car that drove in. There was a couple inside. I was standing outside the patrol car when e guy started to walk towards me. Man, was he huge and fierce looking..

I was gonna take up stance, preparing myself to draw my baton just in case..then he was like, "Hey sorry ah officer, can you dun summon my car, I just wanna go toilet, Ill be back, I promise.." and I was like 'oh sure'. Haha *relief. First time ma..the adrenaline.

Another time, TL's car met up with the woodlands car, and while the senior regulars went to tapao some food, I was alone with another NS guy. Then this auntie suddenly come from nowhere, "Hello officers...*waving frantically...you guys from woodlands ah?"

"Er..no we're from jurong.."
"Oh hahaha..nice to see you guys patrolling around. Im from IMH ah..but I dunno why they put me inside also. Im not insane right?"

Both of us just stoned there stunned and just smile and politely answered the lady lol. I was new, so I asked e other guy, "is she a regular?" "What regular? I dunno her sia.." haha. =/

And so we ended everything about 3 plus..and I walked home..took 20-30 minutes lol =S

--FAITH AND GIVING--

Well, I shall not reveal too much. Cus..I wouldnt know who read my blog anyway right? haha. Indeed those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Faith moves the hand of God.

All of us, will come to a point in our life, in our walk with God, that sometimes you just gotta trust and obey. Sometimes things dont make sense, but you jus gotta do it with joy. All of us will one day come up to a level where we have to break out of this shell...this old wineskin.

Back then, certain things cost you greatly, but as time goes by, you realised that the reaping has overtaken the sowing. Its time to go higher, dream bigger, and constantly upgrade yourself, be more anointed, more excellent. Going from glory to glory, strength to strength.

And I remembered ps once preached, glory is value. Your value has gotta go up. Where you are now, cannot be the same as when you first came to Christ. Everything is progressive.

Ive received a vision, a dream, Ive caught the fire, it's time to pass the baton.

Never let the fire of God burn out in your life.
Because whats left, is debris and charcoal.

Extinguishing a fire is worse than not lighting it at all..in other words.

Once you start a legacy, you leave behind something for people to follow. You set a milestone, you went the extra mile, you stood out and dared to be different.

They say, forget your past. But sometimes, you just gotta look at your past, in order to move forward. Remember the Lord. =)

You say you trust the Lord, how much do you trust Him? Let your actions speak for itself.

If your giving doesnt move your heart, it will never move the heart of God or your recipient. But yet, Im excited, because a big seed will reap a big harvest.

At the end of the day,

Its not really what you have, what you have given,
But its who you are that matters.
