Fleeting glimpses of what the last 2 months have entailed are whats left of a hectic roller-coaster ride. I guess im tired and i just wish that things could come to a standstill with a flick of the finger.
Either way, i dont deny that i havent experienced God's hand working in and through me in most of my endeavours throughout these last 2 months. He has indeed been more merciful in ways that i would never have expected and in more instances than i would have even dreamed of. Take Standard Chartered. Down 3 days before D-day with slight fever and indigestion, barely recovered to find Mother Nature knocking on my door. (For the uninformed, cramps are definitely not something you wanna get esp in the middle of a 10k run). Actually i was expecting it but just hoping that my prayer would go the way i wanted it to. Obviously not. I guess that wouldnt have extended my faith, or stretched it for that matter if everything had gone on fine. But anyway, it took LOTS of faith and struggling before i decided to go ahead and leave the rest to Him.Suffice to say, God never fails to deliver. What had been crippling pain the day before after just 1+ km of warmup translated to a steady painless jog for most of the race. Thank you Lord:)
By the way since im on to Standard Chartered, it was absolutely great. It just feels different..as if the hundreds of runners surrounding you are exuding some kind of propelling force, and all you have to do is just coast along with the surge of energy:) definitely better than huffing and puffing through the paces at east coast. Anybody interested in StanChart 2006?
