yay, GOD is good, ALL the time.
first, wanna share that GOD ANSWERS PRAYER! =D
remember there was once i sent out an sms about my grand-aunt. She was hospitalised for a period of time, and there was even one time the doctors thought that was the end for her. well, with the prayer support of everyone, i thank GOD that she's still alive today! =) what's more, she got saved recently. Praise the Lord. She used to be very against being shared the gospel with, but thank God how he worked in her life.
also, wanna share that GOD IS GOOD. =)
i realise that running and races actucally help me alot with my walk with God. especially today, dun wanna forget what God has done for me.
I prayed for strength, and He gave me strength to soar with wings as eagles!
I prayed for wisdom, and He allowed me to carry out my race plan smoothly!
I prayed to be able to focus, and He allowed me to do so.
GOD just answers prayer.
morning, i arrived a little late at the stadium,was very blur. Thank God for Yvonne, help me collect no. tag. haha. then also warm up with me and still ta han the many many questions i asked her. =) u rock man, Yvonne. then also thank God that during the 1500m race, didn't really feel tired. gold for GOD with a new PB! yay. afternoon had 800m. also want to thank God for a good coach who tells me my race plan and encourages me. so many pple to thank God for. Thank God for giving me such supportive parents who are always there at my races. =D thank God for Aunty Annie who came down to watch me run in the afternoon. thank God for all my prayer supporters and sms encouragers. haha. back to the afternoon race, it was really a micacle! It was all God's will. with the last 100m to go, i was side by side with the front girl. during the 100m, i was slightly behind. i actucally gave up in my mind saying, ai ya, give her the 1st place. i take 2nd. then, it must have been GOD. i had this urge to just sprint (as in, really sprint) the last part liao. that time, we were really close to the line. I dipped the last part, it was really not clear who was the winner. I thought i had to settle for second, but who would have thought the photo finish said i came in first! yay. ALL glory to GOD~! 2 Gold's at the WALA. =) It is really God who help me. Lord, keep me humble.
"Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit saith the LORD."
"What time i am afraid, i will trust in Thee"
"He is the LORD of lords. and when He speaks, winds and waves obey. When Jesus whispers peace be still, then darkness turns to day.
And as i'm trusting in my Saviour's Word, doubts and fears all cease. And beneath the shelter of His wings, i'm at rest in perfect peace." - from the song "Perfect Peace"
"I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the LORD, which maketh the heavens and the earth."
=D verses and song lyrics which i thought about the whole day while preparing for my races. some of them are really comforting.
To God be ALL honor and praise,
