I've decided to change my blog address to uponhisgrace.blogspot.com
Remember when I first started the blog run2glorify.blogspot.com because of the movie Chariots of fire. Very inspiring, very awakening. It was then when I started JC year 1 and I have to run the annual 3.8km. We got to train twice a week and on top of that I had to conserve my energy for both badminton and sailing training. It was a trying period. Tough but satisfying. Despite the physical exhaustion, I enjoyed myself. Struggling for time to do my homework and energy for school next day and continue to strive on my journey knowing God.
That movie had inspired me to start my blog to tell people about Him who changed my life, where I get all the strength to face day to day challenges. The previous blog address says it all... to run to glorify God's name...
As I grow older, the problems faced gets tougher and responsibilities increase, they get heavier. I still ought to glorify Him and would gladly do so, yet its the real world that I'm staying in, there are more temptations than soul-edifying materials, it becomes more difficult for me to focus. Hence to depend upon God's grace.. and his sovereignty.
I've learnt that there are many things in life that we cannot control. To grow up means we change our perspective and face these problems with courage and optimism. This process will then shape our character and mould our mindset.
Changes.
More often than not is what people refuses. Because it is hard. Face it. When inevitable issues arise, we can only embrace changes to make life easier for everyone. Fighting head on with these issues, there can only be bloodshed and no solution. Yet, this can cause people to shun the situations and keep mum, which does not help in any way either. Im in such a dilemma.. I'm in search of wiser steps to see my wish come true....
and last for good.
