9 more days to my first ever national track & field competition. They finally decided to let me run the 3000m event. My best timing so far is 14:06, hope to cut it to 13:30 by race day. The last time i've trained so hard was in JC days, when i was in hockey. I've realised that some people are just born to run, and i realised that i'm not one of them. Nevertheless, it's been a good journey to pushing myself to my limits, motivating myself, learning that life, like running, needs endurance, perseverance, discipline and lots of motivation and hard work, in order to run the race, and finish it well. I used to want to be first in everything, but i guess as i get older, i have lost my competitive spirit, and i just hope to do my best and achieve my target timing. If i win a medal, that would be a bonus.
Learning many new things at my new posting at Prison Headquarters - steep learning curve. Going for my first overseas trip with my director in April.
Ministry wise in church has been quite a lot of changes. Part of a new youth alpha group, as well as starting a new young adult cell group. Recently, started attending Bible Study Fellowship, to discipline myself to study God's word more in depth.
I pray that i will not get lost amidst all these things - to remember to involve God in everything i do, and not get tired or lose focus on reaching out and making Him known.
Had another strange dream recently, it seemed so real, i dreamt that i woke up from my dream and thought it was real, but when i truly woke up, i realised it was not, to my disappointment. Is it my sub-conscious which is playing tricks in my mind? Or is it some sort of sign? Maybe i shouldn't read too much into such things. Just let things take it's natural course.
