Amazing Race

FINALLY!!! Amazing race is over, Saturday had amazing race, my team consist of Ali(TL), Adeline, Amelia, Cai Shi, Lovelle, Peirong, Rachel, Donric, Munchong and Me of course......Its the first amazing race i join since i came to Youth Impact in 2006, tiring though but yet I also learn things from the process of it.....First stop was the Bukit Batok Nature Reserve, had some problem with the maps drawing though, from the orientation of the map, it shows that its behind the "Old Ford Factory", ran all the way up just to find out from the person in charge there that its not here but at the other side, he say that actually there no World war I thingy, but the words suppose to be World War II and its at the other side, so went all the way down and up again the steep slope, roughly around 30-45 degrees in elevation, half walk half ran, took some photo there, 2nd stop is the rock climbing station, third was IMM, easy to find the people though, somehow we were like some magnet, we were finding any of the three once we enter IMM and Kenneth Yeo(???) aka the soldier came walking our direction, so was rather easy, went into GIANT to find the food for our quiz, split up inside and some went to find the things, some went to buy water, completed it in 15-20 mins, 4th stop was Clementi woods, met Rebekah group at Clementi Bus stop, when we reach both team were finding the spot for the game, start runnning round, but due to some of their navigation mistake, we manage to get there first, 4th sub station was the blindman stop before the final sub station which was the slider, got all dirty up there, Munchong kick mud right into my face sia, luckily was wearing specs, there was this point in time where the mud flew right to my specs, of which the position shows clearly that it would hit right into my eyes, had mud all over me, think i was the one who kena the worst in the cell group, had mud from outside shirt to inside my shirt to under my pants, spent lots of time washing ranging from sat night to mon morning, think i wasted lots of water, bill gonna be very high sia this month, seeing the fact that after scrubbing for like 30 mins, took the easy way, hang my clothes there and took the water spray to spray my shirt, think i used more than 5 large pails of water just spraying my shirt, 5th stop was Vivocity, by then my tired mind was already blank, caused by lack of sleep over the weeks, somehow just can sleep only till 1-2 am in the morning before waking up at 6am daily for school and stuff, plus the night before amazing race also had same problem, so was already mentally tired, completed the task at 1700 hrs, reached outram station at 1720 and after some discussion and Ali called June for opinion, decide to drop off last station which was kayaking since last game would be at 1745, and travelling alone would need 30 mins.....head back church all dirty and smelly, change into another set of clean clothes then prepare for svr and discussion, when Ali share bout discussion is when God speaks to me by putting things into my head, like when Ali said actually everyday in our lives, we are having an amazing race, and i saw the fact that through this race, some were pushed to their limits, be it physical or mental, i meant all were already tired, but we still completed the race (ok mayb cant say really completed, but we tried), and with encouragement, there always this bit of strength that never runs out inside of us, its like the "reserve battery" in us that will always be charge up with every encouragement.....so like in our physical, when we are really pushed to our limits, we manage to finish the race with encouragement, but in our spiritual can we? This is what God ask me, he ask if in my spiritual, when we are really at our limit, can I still fight it out that last strength in me?

Realize that i had been running away even when everything seems right, realize that I've been running from what God called me for, i meant i know the direction to go but somehow mayb i just cant accept the fact for the calling
