Thursday, July 19

Yesterday was Track and Field Finals and the results were kinda wonderful. Triple champs for A, B and C division guys and 1st Runners up for the girls. (: I'm quite happy for the team. It is inevitable that I feel sad about not being able to contribute in someway or another to this effort. Especially when I see other schools doing well in events that I once competed in before, I wished I did train and could perform in my own way. But I reminded myself that I did exchange what was temporal for the things which are eternal and the time I spend with God and His people, were simply too precious. God knows how much I'm willing to give up to obey His will.
For now comes the question: Would I run for Cross country next year? And would I put my heart soul and effort into it? Because I am quite sure if I am to do so, I would perform even better than I did this year . Or so I think. Perhaps the real question to ask if, is this God's will again? I hate to deliberate again, this issue about running or not. Because a great part of me wants to return for the glory that awaits for one who gives himself to dedicated trainings- but is that biblical and honourable in His sight? And if I do so, how much time, energy am I gonna am I gonna give up and give to running? Yet the Lord knows how special this bunch of people are to me! These 4 and a half years of training together certainly mean something and I regret that I have done nothing to impact their lives, spiritually. Also, I hope I would be given a chance to give my last best shot at nationals. But I'd rather be submitted to His will, whatever it may be
Running to me is nothing more than a sport I do excel in but do not very much enjoy, for the monotony it puts me through. But as many tell me, if I have the talent, why waste it? If Eric Liddell had the talent to win an Olympic 400m gold medal and the record, why did he stop running to become a missionary in China and have his life be taken away from him shortly during his ministry in the prisoner's camp during World War II?
Aye, so many ask me why I didnt run for track and perhaphs many don't share my convictions and understand why I had been so "extreme" when it comes to my faith. I feel that it would be a mockery if I go against His will and join back running next year. Furthermore, there is much to be done for the Lord's work too!
Thats it! Enough of deliberating on this issue. Seek God's will, and do it! Haha
Block Test results: BCEES
I know I underperformed this blocks, but I'm thankful for the results I got still. I guess I'd just have to work doubly hard for promos. Heh.
I started off this week with unusually great zeal about doing God's work but heh, it has unfortunately died upon me. Yesterday was a disaster I feel, too much of self too little of God. And the speed at which all the events occured, I ended the day very much tired and unconcerned about my spiritual state. I'm praying God will sustain me to do whatever work He has called me to do. "He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it" -1 Thel 5:24.
Aye I wished we could get to know each other better, really.
