The trek at bako national park was tough! The route through the forest were of different terrain and inclination. I'm sweating and breathing hard. The rocky terrain, steep slope and the slippery grip (plus my heavy backpack) really made me wonder if I could make it... to the beach and back. But what gave me confidence was that many had gone before me and made it! The wooden makeshift stairs (though looked dangerous and unsteady) was made by ppl who had trekked through this route and survived! That means I can do it too. And yes in the end, we all made it, even a 50 over year old aunty who went trekking with us. :-)
At the end of the trek, I felt really happy. Not only did we enjoyed the beach and finished the trek but more so cos I felt God encouraging me through this trek to not give up walking with Him. Yes, walking with Him may not be easy. There are many times I wondered if I could do it and sadly many times i've been dissapointed at myself. I wondered am I really a real christian sometimes- knowing my heart intentions and motives are so far from His, and not desiring to pray and read His Word sometimes. My life seemed to be like a roller coaster, up when inspired, down when not... Well and His answer to me was, look at the many who had gone before you! These ppl who really followed after me- george muller, bill bright, pastor lim ghee tiong, dr joon gon kim, hudson taylor, corrie ten boon, d l moody, they have lived so many years with God and some have already lived through their lives and all have made it, they've lived like real christians, they've lived an abundant life and a life of calling and obedience, a life without regrets, a life that's been greatly used by God. Look at the many who had gone before you, they've walked with Me and allow Me to be God of their lives. Now, the question is no longer if I can be a real and good christian cos I can never be, on my own but whether can I choose to walk with God and let God be God in my life all the days of my life. It is possible cos MANY (some not even published) had gone before me doing so.
So sharon, walk on with Jesus and never give up! :-)
