Back to reality, one more assignment and 2 more tests to go. I am finally done with my running events. Like finally! The long awaited and dreaded moments of my life were finally over. To those who do not know I’ve participated in 2 events. 800m and 4x400m.
I remember praying to God while I knelt beside my bed and said this “God, please help me to run and finish this race victoriously, I’ll do anything you ask me to do”
That was a dangerous- dangerous prayer I’ve made. But I was determined that I’m not going to embarrass myself in my first race. SUKIPIT (Sukan Institusi Pengajian Tinggi) was my first race and yeap I raced against giants, so to speak. They were national and state runners with many years of training and experiences.
And I basically have no experience at all. I was afraid, i was very nervous. Trusted him whole-heartedly though it wasn’t a 100%. Probably 90%. another 10% was on some other stuff. My leg was giving me problem and stuff so that 10% went to my leg. lol
Anyways, I was positive that I didn’t make it to finals but I made it anyway.
I remember hearing a voice in my head, “I made it possible for you”
I refused to believe that it was God who made it possible.
I ran with 2 state runners. As a matter of fact, I stand no chance against these 2 runners. There were another malay runner though, who took over me when I was 10meters away from the finishing line. I nearly tripped when I was on my way toward the finishing line and she took over me there and then. Oh wells. -___-
It wasn’t a mere coincidence, I believe. That Malay runner was disqualified from the race. Not sure why and how. I got 3rd place for the overall event before the final race. Which was… shocking. -.-
I got 5th place facing the giants for final. Though I didn’t win any medal back for my college, it was an experience and an unexpected event of my life. God played a major& important role in making all that possible.
There are things I know I’m called to do.. I’m not sure what He has instilled for me. I’ll have to wait for that call.
I’m not prepared, I’m not ready.. Been facing a lot this lately. Not all up to explain.. to cut the long story short, I’m just thankful that I didn’t lose my sense of focus in God despite all the nonsensical and ridiculous situations I’m being thrown into.
I’m a whole lot stronger than I am before. I’m not ready for battles just yet but I know he is preparing me for that long awaited battles. 😉
Hope all of u are doing well.
Stay positive!
Don’t give up and never give in to all the negative thoughts in your head!
