been a ordinary morning but ctd to train hard for e marathon..i must say i'm quite amazed how God sustained me though it was tedious man..ran around 9km..phew..started from my hse, then went to a park near my block then ran past stadium..inside finished 6 rds..took a short breather then carried on..ran to punggol park..along e way, kept on counting e costs of joining, how it could affect time for other things..possible..is it worth it? sang "let e rain of presence falls on me'' among other worship songs even as i ran..was strengthened when i sang e part,"love divine and joy unspeakable" can reali sense e overflow of God's spirit in me, juz keep on filling me over and over again..great man..can't describe exactly in words..ran e 1st rd round e punggol park..felt like waking man..but when i did my 2nd rd..there was a breakthru'! i dun feel tired but instead a new burst of energy juz filled me..not panting but it was like i dun mind going on for another few rds..praise God! by e time whole thing ends, my t-shirt was entirely wet and i'm sweating like mad..but it was a gd run..never had tis experience before..haha
liked yesterday also..was just sharing our faith to mingyu,my social work proj mate for com-based together with another vcf sister,lizhen..fantastic..thank God for her heart to want to ask questions..she reali think thru' n been wanting to find ppl to help her out..wow..it's not tt kind to put you down but one that sincerely have doubts and want to have a better understanding of christainity..wow..she asked, we juz answered, she asked again, we answered again..for almost 2hrs..though not all qns can be answered veri well, but at least it helped her to some extent and me as well..veri refreshed..he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed..she knows and believes tt humans cannot save ourselves..we r sinful and there's a need for Jesus to die for us..wow it makes me think again abt my faith..reali..think e obj of my faith is not reali on Jesus but one based on my abilities,harboring -ve thoughts,not a confessed life of my sins,many many forms of doing things..He is e only one who saves and nothing else..it's a gift..
i'm reali revived in my heart though tis time it won't be a flash in e pan..dun want to man..but juz go to God like a child again..yeah! God lead me into yr presence more and more, not pple..haha..

Haha... thank God for your persevering heart... reminds me of this verse:
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith..."
Love,
YA
