This verse is one of my favourite songs that we sing in the church. This literally means about a deer thirsts for water which actually translates us humans expresses an intense, desperate longing for God’s presence.
It also signifies a deep spiritual hunger, often trials where the soul realizes only God can provide satisfaction and refreshment.
Today, I am so happy and excited because I just joined the Windsor Half marathon to be held on September. I felt so happy and blessed also since I am not just running for fun but with a cause. For me to join a race here in the UK, you need to be a member in a foundation or a volunteer that supports their advocacies and movement. And I am happy because I supported not just one but two organizations. The Wellness of Women and the Windsor Christian Action. Wow! I’m starting to be a philanthropist again! So adorable!
I love this kind of charity work, helping organizations in their advocacies while trying to be fit and healthy. In the Philippines, charity foundations organize a fun run to raise funds for their movement. Anyone can join and race starts as early as 3am! I remember I did a lot of fun runs that support a lot of charity foundations. I had a collection of medals in our wall for all the race I joined. It also raise my awareness in supporting a lot of charity foundations. This is just a small step towards a greater cause, my dream to be in a bigger race. To be in the London Marathon!!! Wow ! That is an honor!
Now, I am longing to be in a prestigious race. It’s not bad to dream. A race with a cause. I am blessed actually to be in this country. A greener pasture for my dreams, not only mine but with my husband. One day, my husband will grow his faith. I am always praying that one day he gets an encounter with God. An encounter I know he will always choose God over the worldly things. I’m always longing for God, always asking for Him to give us an encounter. Only a true encounter will test how we are deeply close with God. For a true encounter will also test how strong we are to overcome fear, faith and love for God.
True peace and satisfaction are found only in God, not external circumstances. I always pray God never abandons us, not persecute us but give us victory for we have won in life.
This charity foundations are instruments to make us be a better person. Supporting their advocacies genuinely and not just because I want to join a race.
The race is all about charity, love and kindness, selflessness, care and genuine action.
Hope me good luck!
