Alright, I shall recount what happened yesterday, since I have decided it is momentous enough hahaha. I managed to run 5km at run and raising!!!!!!! What an accomplishment!!!!! It is to me haha. I remember feeling tired close to the 2km mark and feeling really tired when we were at the 4km mark and having to put in so much effort into each step after that. So thankful for wei jian, who kindly agreed to run at a slower pace with me haha. He really encouraged me to keep running. Ahhh i was really uncertain at points during the run if i could finish, but all thanks to God and my friend, managed to find the strength and perseverance to pull through!!!! It was a miracle!!! Praise the Lord. I still remember moments during the run when I was just so tired and I mumbled to my friend "Please help me." LOL. I was really exhausted after the run, but after that I was REALLY REALLY HAPPY. It's the feeling of doing something you thought you'd never have the strength to accomplish.
In primary school, I was so unsporty and would nearly fail my 1.6km run. Truly, in the words of an unexpected friend who encouraged me when I was sec 1, there is no one who's not sporty, you just gotta go for it and try hard! Thank you God for building my confidence through sports these past few years. It has been such a valuable lesson of hard work and determination in my life. Which I hope I will not grow complacent and forget. (Which, in all honesty, I am very prone to. :-X) One thing that keeps me grounded is sports though, because I am nearly always not good at it and it's normal for me to be the slowest/worst so prayer is really important to bring me through. And through the grace of God, I am really encouraged to see myself improve when effort is being put in. :'))) Not so much for this run lah, because I didn't run enough for this. More for synchro actually haha.
Also, we celebrated sean's birthday and we have 2 new members in our cell group who are joining us only for icebreakers. That's all! :-)))
