One of the best Sunday

It was 9/10/11, and it was my first 10km marathon and I couldn't have done it without God. This is wat happen: I was never a runner when I first came here, running 1km is adi very painful for me. When my friend first introduced me the event "Melbourne Marathon". I was never interested in it..... until a few of my friend wanted to join. Underestimated 10km, I joined the 10km under 55min event. That until I started training in gym initially, each time I trained, each time I got more frustrated and there was one day I train till my killed my leg...... I couldn't run for 5 days until that "miracle" happen, (http://calvininsj.blogspot.com/2011/09/book.html)

Ever since, the training was getting better and so it the result as He help me on my way. All were good until the marathon day itself.... The morning I woke up, I was having a very bad cramp/stitch near my stomach area and to make thing to worst, we have to walk from out fren place(we overnight in city before the day of marathon) to MCG cause there was no transport. My cramp was kinda bad even when I was at the starting line where it about to start. I almost wanted to give up my goal of finishing under 55minutes, but God came again.... As the whistle started, I started jogging, praying my cramp won't kill me... Jogging and jogging, I continuously praying and also did pray for all my other fren. 1km and my cramp was surprisingly disappearing, and I was able to finish the whole marathon without stopping for walk under 54minutes! Thank for running with me Jesus!!

After attending church, went for lunch and home to change my cloth, went to Camberwell to celebrate friend birthday. Of course, the whole dinner was fun and I was expecting everyone to remember that there was 3 friends birthday that were very closed with each other and not to remember mine, I din want anyone to remember and celebrate my birthday anyway for a good reason. The dinner was awesome cause it was Sofia, haha. Not only that, I gave 20 dollar during the church offering and I knowing the dinner going to cost me another 15dollar, leaving almost 5 dollar for the whole week to survive. Anyway, I din care as long as I see my friend happy...... Unfortunely, someone found out about my birthday...... After we singing birthday song to our fellow friend, they all sang one more time, wandering why, I went along...... Until the name part of the song...... I was shocked and nothing to say...... the whole dinner, all I could do is sit there quietly, I din even want them to belanja me at least, but they rejected my money anyway.... When I heard the amout it cost, I was feeling quite guilty... at least that night I din take a lot haha!! And like always, I dun expect present... but that night all four of us receive present from all of our awesome friend. And that night, it was one of the best present I ever received for a long time... Thank you, Lord! You have been making my life better and better even when all was wrong!! Thank You!!

Temptation

Like everyone else, after getting rid of their old habit, temptation is always as the devil only want you to fail... During sleeping nicely, I was always been disturbed by dream that relate back to my old habit, of course, the feeling of going back to the old habit was there but I din want to. It was until one night, it was one of the longest "bad" dream, and I almost fall back into that bad habit... Jesus saved me, my whole "bad" dream was instanteounsly destroy. It happen few days ago adi, and yet I can never forget that moment. Thank you, Lord!
