Go fly kite??

I went for the GE Women 10K run this morning. Ok, I didn't really run, except maybe a little at the beginning. Angie and I were walking throughout most of the run. But at least we managed to complete it :)

Anyway, after that, I went for service before meeting Ting, Xq, SJ and Jason in the evening.

So we head off to Pasir Ris Park in Jason's car. As Ting puts it nicely, it really is nice to have someone who drives in the group. (Ask JM to buy a car also la..haha..)

And guess what we did at Pasir Ris Park? Kite-flying!! It was my first time flying a kite. I didn't know it can be so fun. Initially we couldn't get it flying and me, Ting and Xq were struggling with it. We almost wanted to give up but Jason said that we won't go for dinner until it could fly.

Thankfully, we had some help from an elderly gentleman, who we later found out is a member of the Singapore Kite Association. He lent us some of his own kites to fly too.

Was also thinking about the lessons that we can learn from kite-flying that can be applicable to real lives as well. When is it the time to let go or to pull back? If we let go of the string too quickly the kite will fall, yet if we were to hold on too tightly, it'll never be able to fly high. Similarly, in life too, we should let go when we are supposed to instead of holding on so tightly to something that isn't meant to be ours in the first place.

On another note, if I were the kite, then God must be controlling the string, Jesus is the string, and the Holy Spirit is the wind.
