wow man. i just went for a run, its been more than a month since i last ran i believe. my reason? no reason. i was just plain lazy hah, coupled with the excuse that the shoes i normally run with has holes.
but honestly! nothing beats silent moments with God, with no distractions, with a softened heart and an open mind.
to start off with, i really want to give thanks to God for many many things. especially in my internship! it has already been 3 months plus!
firstly i got into an internship which dont relate with my course of study, ppl will think its ridiculous but i really thank God for it because im not very interested in what i’m studying nor am i good with it and i don’t intend to pursue it as a career, not for the moment and for the near future i know of.
next i really want to thank God for the great colleagues i have at work, they are all really so friendly! and i have a flexible supervisor who understands and is willing to help in different situations, like i need to take leave etc.
i also want to thank God for my brother and friends i have around me, who takes my nonsense, some even kenna really stupid nonsense and moments of frustrations from me . i can only say, thanks for sticking by me and my nonsense.
i also want to thank God for another group of friends, the tp peeps. you guys are ever so fun to be with haha! nothing less than entertaining! and yet when it comes to the kingdom of God, all of you are serious and inspiring in your own ways! looking and being with you ppl helps to remind me of what i should really be doing some times.
thankful for my mum as well! who always cooks or buys dinner for me, who would go the extra mile for me if i would just ask. honestly im really so thankful for my mum! and for God who i believe has brought my mum closer to know Him in 09.
thankful for my dad who tho nags at me, i know truly loves me and simply just wants the best! both my parents support me in great ways! without them, i wouldnt be me.
thanful for the many incidents during my internship, like taking leave for camp, being able to leave earlier on saturdays and many other twists and turns i have that i can’t mention finish.
thankful that i have a loving lifegroup, that is ever getting crazier with ideas and doing things! and ppl who serves and willingly commits to God. and for my sheep whom i may not get to meet every week, and for God who grows them!
thankful for God who is with me all the time, like the wind, that cant be seen but can only be felt when i slow myself down to realize that fact. who is faithful and graceful to me who is super imperfect.
we who are imperfect will always have fear, and we cannot keep anything that is not part of us. but there is a way to remain in God and run til the end of the race, to continue and not let the devil tell us that we cant. it is to keep what remains eternally, the spirit of God. that we can encourage ourselves in Him, and can always have hope in all situations thus not having any impossible situations. because there are only really tough situations that can be solved with God!
now.. its a countdown of 15 days left to the end of my internship on 23rd january!
[lastly, thanks to the friend who blessed me with a new running shoe that fits perfectly! it seriously rocks and is seriously my favourite!]
