Race
Sunrise.
I did a marathon (my first!) almost a month back and it's really God's goodness that I did manage to complete it. Just a few thoughts on this excruciating events which I thought really is worth sharing about. (You can always come ask me about the whole experience if you are interested)
1. How great a cloud of witnesses that I am surrounded with in this race. They sure did cheer me on and make me utterly embarrassed when I start to really slow down (walk) in front of them.
2. I'm sure the spiritual analogy of this whole experience cannot be not noticed. To be not ensnare by every possible 100plus drink station and fix our goal on the finish line. Lol. Probably stretching it a little but life's definitely an endurance race.
Now the many other things:
1. Settling the university applications... God has been really good with His timing. (there's quite abit of stuffs to do and how good it is to have my sister to help me in whatever way possible since she has done them before me)
2. Mixed on how to spent the remainder of my time before school starts. Go for orientation camp (which my mum says I should since I am so free). Take up another work. Go for a short trip (which is purely my own wishful thinking, lol)
3. Pondering over where God will put me in say 5, 10 years time. Catching up abit on reading some good books and some interesting sites via Google Reader. Many hard questions which demands much self-denial gets cooked up in my mind regarding this earthly struggle from the 'old' to the 'new'. It's definitely a mystery.
4. The June Camp had me thinking about how real mission work is. Really hope to be able to visit one next time. To really see Christ being proclaimed at the cost of losing your life. Pray that we will not get too indifferent about sharing Christ. It's never an argument, it's all about Jesus. And the only reason I think we don't point our lost friends to Him is because we are by nature still selfish.
That's quite a bit of things. And I have finally feel less distracted by other stuffs on the net to set time to continue and type out this post and kinda reflect on how badly/wisely I have spent my time thus. I'm quite sure time spent praying could be so much better than time spent on facebook (I am really thinking of another break from it really soon) when it comes to drawing close to God.
