An excerpt from an NSF friend's blog:

I was thinking whether to type this:

For what you do in camp, you can avoid as many arrows as you want..
But when it comes to serving the LORD and arrows from leaders, you jolly well be enthusiastic to volunteer.

The problem is this does not sound correct! Its double life!!

My solution to this:

Be wise and volunteer when you think you can,
You will never know what benefits awaits you.
Its part of being salt and light as well.
But please do not throw everything unto yourself,
You may not be able to handle it and end up signing extras.
As for serving the LORD, it takes priority
But our attitude towards people should never change,
We are here to serve.

It sounds so ideal right? But I have really seen people done it. Its not impossible but it takes the extra mile. Do not worry, if you think you are struggling in this.
That is because, I still do not know how I am going to struggle out of it yet.
But I know that I want to.
What about you?

was reading through his blog and it reminded me of a certain period of my nsf life when i struggled with this prob of leading a double life...why am i not applying my values and believes in my workplace? i ask myself...it seems lk army life and civilian life are separate entities...but it was also that point in time when i was taught abt doing the best in everything i do, in every aspect of my life..and that includes being a soldier...

no matter how much u may dislike army life, u can't deny that it is part of your life...and since its part of your life, wldn't you do your best too?...always rmb the position you are in...as a child of God, you are a christian in whatever position you are...so i always remind myself that i am a christian soldier..a soldier who represents Christ and thus in everything i do even in camp, i reflect His glory...thats how we are different from others...

this reminder has helped me through the rest of my days in ns and has allowed me to cope better with my relationship with the army as a whole and my relationships with my campmates...and i do hope it'll help others reading this too..it applies to all areas of your life, not only the army but your workplace, sch and family as well...
