Hey SALTies,

i had my 2.4km run today, and somehow, i just had lots of reflections about it. Yesterday i was really quite scared about today's run cause i've a really bad stamina & i NEVER ran the full 8 rounds before this cause of my operation so the thought of it was really freaky, AND my pe lesson's right before recess when the sun's high up in the sky, draining your energy. So yeah. i prayed for not sunny weather but i didnt dare to really have faith that God would grant me good weather, but as you all know, today's weather really couldn't be better. it was nice, cool and cloudy! God answered my prayer though i didnt have total faith in Him, and when i thought about it, i was just awed by God, that really, He's my awesome God who reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love. and that did alot in spurring me on while i was running.

At the beginning of the run, i told myself and God that i wanted this run to be a physical manifestation of my spiritual walk, that i dont wanna stop, and 'run with perseverance the race marked out for us (me).'- Hebrews 12:1 (was inspired by a friend. we all know her, but shant say who just in case. shall let you guys have fun guessing who (:) though i told God with the same shaky faith i had, but that pact with God was really something which pushed me to run the whole 8 rounds, without walking. Each time i wanted to just walk, i didn't cause i kept in mind that this was my physical manifestation of my walk with God! i'm not walking, i'm running. and so, i RAN. i thought of verses, songs & prayed. But i didnt do it alone. a friend was running with me, and cheering me on all the 8 rounds. She finished her 2.4 alr, but she ran today to accompany me.
And these really got me thinking. In our walk on earth with God, God would give us friends to push us and walk with us, we're not alone. and most of all, God'll never fail to be there anytime we need Him, even if our friends failed us. Also, if i could run the full 8 rounds and i wanted this to be a physical manifestation of my walk (run) with God, i'm not stopping in my walk (RUN) with God. i'm gonna 'hope in the Lord' so that I'll 'run and not grow weary.' -Isaiah 40:31
