For the first time in my life, I joined the Ipoh Starwalk two weeks back. Quite surprised at myself for being so excited about it. It has been quite a while since I had taken such a long walk. 7km? 10km? Wow... come to think of it now... How did I managed to finish the walk? Haha...
My goal was to finish the walk within the time limit and get a certificate. The determination was there... But as I walk.... half way through... my body starts to get tired.. with sore feet... Thoughts of I never reach there in time came and dampen my spirit. Felt like giving up at that time but I kept going hoping a miracle could happen? Hahaha.... And indeed, it was a miracle... i reached... i finish the race... and I got the certificate. Praise God for His strength.
It was indeed a good walk. It wasn't just a walk but rather a lesson for me as well. That walk reminds me of my life journey. Many of times in life, we tend to give up when things doesn't seem to go our way or things just didn't turned out the way we expect. And it is at this time we felt discouraged, not knowing what to do or where to go. But yet God is Almighty... He has a better plan for me... Without His strength, I wouldn't be able to finish that walk.... And it is the same with my life journey.
God, give me the strength to walk this journey with you.
That at the end of my life journey
I am able to say just as Paul did that
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
