Thursday, 27 August 2015 ❛ With God, hardship is easier. ❜ I usually write my post in a more professional way? HAHA IDK. I mean i take 3-5 hours to write and edit but I have an exam tomorrow so this post is gonna be fast. It'll be more like a personal reflection too. Anyway, tough tough day at work today. 350m x 4. I already knew it's gonna be a tough one even before I started. Due to my past experiences, I was already dying when I do 300m x 3. ^ ok not important haha. Ok fast forward, I did what I had to do and at the seoncd set, I was almost dead. I couldn't stand properly, I couldn't walk. My glutes (butt) hurt so bad. I could feel my breakfast in my tummy. I could even smell it and it felt like it was coming out soon. I looked at my watch to check if my rest time is up. I was obviously hoping it isn't haha. Oh well, the watch doesn't lie. Rest time was up. I gave myself an extra 3 minutes of rest because I could finally walk properly? Definitely not able to run. Don't worry, I didn't write this post to tell you about my pain. I wanna talk about this powerful 3 minutes. During the 3 mins, I was thinking of many reasons and excuses to quit. Thoughts like, " It's so painful, I've completed half of it. If I pack up and leave now, I still improve." " Why do I have to go through this process?" I then remembered what some of my friends and teacher said, " If you don't whack, you die. If you whack, you also die. So just whack. " " It's gonna be worth it in the end, keep on going! " " You are trained to go through hardship" Even with all the positive words in my mind. I was still in so much pain and I'm thinking, I already whack that's why I feel this way now, how to whack some more? I wasn't a 100% sure if I wanna continue or should I just find excuses to satisfy myself and quit. I was just lying down on the track and I prayed. I thank God for the privilege and then I went on and I prayed for strength and endurance to finish the workout. I was thinking this pain is definitely nothing compared to what Jesus went through Simple simple prayer, simply asking for strength and endurance to finish it. Right after that, I picked myself up and just continued with the other 2 sets. Timings were not that impressive but honestly, with that kind of pain I wanted to give up so badly. I really don't know how I continued. I just know its God answering my prayers. Sometimes, I just know its God. I just know it. I can't explain it but I just know it is. He makes the impossible and the unthinkable possible. Notice why I bold the words, '' finish the workout''. True enough, I finished it and only vomited 4 times after that. ONLY AFTER I'VE FINISHED. So thankful :) Like what I always say, setback, hardships etc strengthens us not just physically but in our character too. While on the bus back home after that, I was listening to this song, '' Let Faith Arise'' by Bridge City and a part of the lyrics is, ''Speak & the mountains will move. Anything we ask God, God can do''. I was just thinking about the incident and it just feels amazing knowing that God is always with us, in our daily lives and in the little things we ask from him. There's more to come. More to come. Excited to see the end. Like what my teacher said, I'm trained to go through hardship. Doing it alone is tough but with God, it's so much easier. #BuiltToLast Can't wait to share with story and journey with people. To inspire and motivate.
