Guide me Lord.

after reading matt25... the words that gripped me was,

be watchful!

25th July morning i woke up with this word in my mind: Vigilant

I guess that means to be vigilant.

25th July morning i woke up with this word in my mind: Aniticipate

Lord pls show me what you are showing me?

God provides good samaritans along the way...

As i was looking back at the year, it dawned upon me that not only provided the inspiration, passion but also the people to walk this path and encouraging me. Thank God for Victor. May i be a blessing to him as he is to me.

tri as hard as you can...

race day has come... the race started at 1130am

butterflies in tummy.

just finish it... but push as hard as you can.

in the 1st lap of the swim, i was getting cramps in my left toes... woooo scary... not even 2nd lap... bummer... how?

On the bike ride, behind the left knee was hurting, water was insufficient and could not seem to go more then 36km/hr...

On the run, met Ross who became my running buddy... chatted along the way and tried to enjoy the view. Where are the chicks? he asked... found out that we were in the same kind of industry...

almost did not finish the race with him but managed to. Was happy to finish under 3 hours... wozers.

In retrospect, i felt God tell me that i did not have to worry about the circumstances... pinch nerve and stomach flu...etc the thing was to trust him in that if he put a passion in my heart, then he would bless with results... no need for human striving... God is God after all.

Metaphor for spiritual walk and very precious...

pinched nerve...

6days before osim, i just had a shower and was about to go to work... whilst drying my hair, my pinch nerve reacted. I could not sit, lie down and even wear my pants... the first thought was what if it had happened in the water during the race... i could have died.

Went to see Wasserman and he treated me on monday, tuesday, wed and friday. He said that he would try to put me back on track for the race. I was a little sad as i was planning to do some final prep and conditioning before the race... what a major boo boo...

Then on wednesday, J had stomach flu. On thursday abbi got it and threw up... on friday i threw up...

how bad can it go huh? On sat afternoon i threw up again... i only had porridge for dinner and i was concerned that i could not carbo load. lots of liquids, glucose and coke...

would i make it??? perhaps just aim to finish it la.

My aim however, is to complete it under 3 hours....

prayer meeting - creator

it was good that i turned up cos God spoke to me...

whilst praying for raising funds for the church, a.doris declared thru her prayer that God was the creator of the thousand cattle on the thousand hills, therefore what is the amount we needed to raise.

I was brought to realise that hey, indeed my life is in the hands of a God that is bigger then my biggest problems... it was like a light buld went up.
