3 days. It took me 3 days to write this and for the sore to go away. For a handful of us, 8th October was exceptionally thrilling, not to mention history-making. It was the day we ran for the nation.
A total of 920 runners from all across the nation embark on a 1000km relay to run and pray for the nation. The mission of Run for the Nation was to uphold our nation Malaysia in prayer as runners cover designated routes passing by homes, school, commercial area, government buildings and religious sites.
With the cold morning air blowing, it was hard not to be hyped up as runners were flagged off at Putrajaya as the first station. Each team covers a 5km route with a prayer card in hand. The run ends at Luther Centre in Petaling Jaya where a simple appreciation ceremony was held.
For a first timer, Run Nat was a refreshing prayer experience. As we run pass houses and the regular man and women on the streets, I felt a real burden to pray for the strengthening of family institutions, salvation and commitment of hearts. For a few minutes, I was entirely immersed in prayer and forgot about my blurring vision, aching calf and pounding heart.
Being the only girl in the team, I have been blessed with extremely patient teammates who waited for me at every junction to catch up. So here’s a heartfelt thanks to Jackee, Tham and Waikit. Also to Aaron who played Team Manager, photog and chauffer.
I know of 2 other teams from Eaglepoint that completed the run, so kudos to all! Catch up with them to hear their RunNat experience. Better yet, form a team to run and pray for our nation next year. Next RunNat is on 6th October 2012.
Dear maam,
ReplyDeleteI need help to locate a man name Adley Khoo. He has raped my sister and used Thai Black magic on her and ran away with her savings after pretending to be her boyfriend. He is in his 60s..... i also found out that he has cheated almost 4 other women in KL and Pj.but the rest are too afraid to step up as he threatens to hurt their family....... After 11 months of searching; i found someone who knew him in puchong in a pub and they told me that he works for tractors malaysia part time and lives somewhere in midfields. I also heard that he is attending a church call Eagle point and SIB. He is probably on his next victim. Pls contact me if you know his whereabouts. Regards; Margaret Cho
