AN ADVENTURE BESTOWS
This is gonna be long!!!! Hang in there!
-Fri OveRniGht CycLiNg-
One which I never thought I would have done. Night cycling and the fear of traffic! Met 2 of my NP crusade frenz on Fri nite, cycled from Ang Mo Kio to MacRitchie Reservoir Park. Our first rest point was by the bridge in MacRitchie while the guys talked about their jungle training again and Persuaded me to cycle up to orchard and Istana Park. Traffic was kinda heavy as most party goers were leaving orchard. We parked by the pond side in front of Bross Brassier cafe. Here's the craziest thing of the nite, we took off our shoes and walked all the way to the end of the pool for photo taking. Hee... My body flashing warning sign! Sugar level low, Energy level flat and Fighting for time to reach home to watch Euro! Thus had our supper @ Kopitam before heading home, i hate those upslope along upper serangoon road, my butt hurts. haha All in all it's abt 28 km, well to the guys it's chicken feet but for me, it's an achievement hor considering I've not exercised for centuries (hee hee kidding)
Managed to reach home just in time to watch the match, thks dear for staying up! anyway France is OUT! Disappointing for them but I love this Euro coz it's full of surprises, first was Czech now Greece! hmmm we'll see Czech at the finals. feel like staying up to catch the finals....but i've got work the next day. *sian*
-SatuRdAy-
Cell meeting was great, learn lessons about the trials & struggles faced and God's love. The prayers and sharing was a breakthrough not only for myself but on a whole as a cell, a moment that i thank God for reminding us how closely knitted we are in this spiritual family. Shows how important we need fellow believers to watch out for us and to pull us back from the edge of the cliff.
An illustration shared by wendy(my buddy): think of this-u were the driver cruising along the cliff of sandy road. U've heard the voice of warning but yet refuse to listen. The course is getting challenging but ur stubbornness numbed ur senses. Do u know that in that car, there'r passengers-ur family, ones who loves u. When danger arises, U'll hurt not only urself but them as well. U have to make the choice! to control the wheels nearer to the cliff or away.
-My TotS & PrAyeR-
Indeed God allows someone to go through certain circumstances in order to share & minister to another. I believe the process of refining and polishing us are painful & uncomfortable but I thank God that the end result is always desirable. As Much is given, much is expected from me. O Lord, as much as I wish I wouldn't have to take on so many...help me to know ur ways are alwiz higher. U know what's best and how much I can bear. Grant to me all that you've planned for. Difficult though, but in You I can trust, ur burden is light. In Christ, Amen
