Wahh I really owned myself this week, my arms have never felt so sore for a loooooong time. But it's a good feeling I guess, even tho I planned to train much more, I know I have done all that I physically can already so.. :) (Attempts to pat my own back but finds out
painfully that it can't be done.)
Everywhere I look, I see people fighting for their dreams and it inspires and sustains me :) Keep going people! It can't get any tougher but
you can! :)
And dear You, thank You for bringing me thru this week Lord, I don't think I could have kept myself going without the knowledge that I can draw on Your strength anytime and anywhere. And You will never fail me. I wanna apologise for all the times I've tried to be my own warrior and fight my own battle, because now I know that being your soldier is so much better :) Like I told Manda, I've realised that I haven't been making progress trng-wise because all along I've been trying to handle everything on my own, hence the fatigue and the burn-outs and the embarrasingly slow timings. I pack only 50kg in this 1.56m tall frame, of course whatever energy I have, whatever I gain artificially -- thru consuming endless bars of chocolate &c -- it's all gonna be used up soonish. But God, He is so much bigger, so inconceivably huginormoous, and He offers us His everlasting strength with outstretched hands. We don't have to run after Him before He blesses us with it. With
anything for that matter.. The other day I was reading Matthew, and this verse just jumped out at me, will post the King James version here because the lit student in me finds it so much more beautifully expressed:
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
(Matthew 6:26)
..And I remembered a line from one of the New Creation Church worship songs,
.. Grace I've received,
Not worked for, unearned.
:) One final verse for Manda,
In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
(John 16:33)
