No Turning Back

Just came back from cell group..message was good...doubts vs faith. Many times doubts creep in without our consent and knowledge... and very true, doubts can come in from critics and our past experiences. If we are not careful, we can let them limit us rather than enhancing our walk with God.

I was telling Gary that we are at a point of no return. We have already walked so far and cant possibly turn back. Its either we keep moving or walk backwards but since we gave all that we have to be where we are now, there's possibly no more return trip.

I gave up many things to enrol myself in this walk. Many things... they became precious memories now but i do look back to encourage myself that "Hey, you have given up this... make sure you walk well!" One of which is Netball. I gave it up the minute i stepped into church. I thought i am alone but recently i realised my ex-netball captain also gave up netball for CHC too! I am glad we both made this decision though!

Netball has been my life since secondary school. I wanted so much to excel in it and i did! School team from Secondary school, to Poly, to playing for clubs and triaining for Under 21 Singapore Team then. In Poly, i was even awarded the "Colours Award" which was given to those who excel not only academically but also in the area of sports! I moved on to playing for clubs after Poly. My trainings were intensive, 5 days a week i'll be training. I guess God already has His plans and i cant thank Him more. A freak accident left me out of the courts for a period of time. When i first came to church, i was placed in a difficult situation. To commit to Friday service and cell group on sunday then. It would means 2 days short for my main trainings. I couldnt because i wanted to get back on courts soon! However...things took a turn. I also dunno why but i gave up netball totally, believing in God that this is the best decision. I never looked back since. Just for some fond memories, as if flipping through some old album.

This is one thing that i use to encourage myself. I didnt regret... and i will keep walking... For commitment... For love... For God....
