Jogging

How do you find the jog? I think more sharing can be done upon reflection. Really want to hear from all of you what reflections you had from the jog....

For me, I learnt that in a race, I would start slow. Perhaps, for the fear that I would have no more steam left towards the end. However, as I start slow, I am able to observe the people around me and learn from them. Just now, I was encouraged by Choi who kept running. It made me want to keep running. That's why I ran 1 more round. But as I continue to run in a race, I'll pick up speed, especially when I'm almost done. The nearing goal gives me the energy to run faster. Almost, that's when my whole body has been tuned to a jogging mode.

This is so true for me. At work, I start slow to find my bearing. I would not be a recognisable high-flyer, as I'll keep a low key to find my way around. But, slowly, people will realise the potential in me and then I'll pick up speed. In the ministry, that's true as well. I'll be slow and steady, learning from others. As I learn and apply more, fruits become more evident. I thank God for such a momentum He gives me. I trust and know that this is the best kind of momentum for me in any race I'm in!
