How Great is my God

Sunday, 1st December, saw me run my first half marathon of my life.  I hadn't trained since my flare up and I was completely out of shape.  My muscles ached a whole week since the 10km run I did on the previous Monday.

I met Team Sunrise, my training group from Wesley Methodist Church, at 6am at Vivocity.  I was pumped up because I have been pain free for a few weeks now and really looking forward to a good and successful run.

Throughout the run, I kept upbeat and each time I felt weary and wanted to give up, I remember the days that I could barely walk, my body wrecked with pain. That gave me new strength to keep going, because I am now blessed with mobility.  The song "Great is Thy Faithfulness" rings over and over in my head and I know that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  God's mercies for me are truly new every morning.  I don't think I can explain enough how grateful I am to be able to be mobile and pain-free.  And to think, I could even complete 21km with relatively good timing of 2hours 39mins!  (Never in my life did I ever think that I can run for more than 2 hours non-stop! We breach our own limits and defy our own expectations all the time!)

To God be the glory, great things He has done!
