Lessons on the T941

I woke up at 8am this morning to go on the treadmill. Crazy yeah.

Anyway, I played a hillsongs cd, and just ran on the treadmill while listening to the worship songs. Halfway through the run, I wanted to stop after 20mins, but I kept reminding myself that I have to make it past 30 mins, cause that's when fats are officially being burned. anyway, I realized that running auto-pilot doesn't work for me, meaning that I can't keep my mind blank, cause it's actually more tiring for me. haha. so what works the best for me is to just reflect and think about a lot of things. I ended up having a prayer walk/run on the treadmill.

I learnt that being on the treadmill is a lot like faith. It's super hard to get myself motivated to go on the treadmill at times, and it seems so daunting. but the moment I start walking, I realize it's not so bad afterall, and I'm being healthy! haha, also, sometimes when I get really tired, and the perspiration starts to pour down my face, I'll be thinking to myself how hard running is. And it's like how we run this race called our lives, and at times, it's really tough. But just like how I keep reminding myself about the satisfaction I'll get when I reach for the cold can of 100 plus at the end of the run, so will we be completely contented, and rewarded when we go to heaven:)

also, this really funny thing happened on the treadmill. I was just holding the bars to get a reading of my heartbeat, and it was steadily increasing from 70 plus beats to 80 plus. then a random thought of him flitted across my mind, and the heartbeat rate shot up to 110 plus. and I was like what?? You mean the whole nonsense about your heart racing when you think of someone can actually be true?? the most amusing thing was when I began to next think of His love for me, the heartbeat rate rose dramatically to 130 plus! haha, so my conclusion was,

I may like him, but I love You more:)

haha. Interesting no?

So, I will receive whatever You have planned for me, and I will do so with joy and peace in my heart.

It's not wrong to like your qualities, but if it's just your qualities, and not your person also, then am I being superficial? But your qualities make you who you are right?
