And.. well.. honestly speaking... I felt that God's presence was really with us, and I could feel His presence even as we ran.. even as we walked.. even as we prayed.. and even as we sang. It was all somewhat surreal at times, to know that our God is with us, even as we run, that He is running along with us.
Running up slope and down hill of NUS was really... quite tedious and taxing.. but Glory to God! =) As I ran, I kept asking Him for strength, for stamina, and prayed about NUS... God imprinted on my heart His desire to bless the University.. and all the students that come in... I did a little search on the etymology (meaning the history) of the word "university" and my findings are rather interesting... here they are!
(1) the whole, entire number, universe
(2) in later and mediæval Latin (chiefly in legal use), a society, company, corporation, or community regarded collectively

It's really an interesting thing, cause Sharon asked me to look at the word university, and asked me to think if it spoke to me. She later said that it meant to her two words: united and diversity. It was rather astounding, cause I felt God telling me universal versatility, which has somewhat similar meanings. I really felt God's heart to bless the students that came, as well as to unite them under NUS, and send them out, hopefully, to do the work that the Lord has placed them to do.
Though tiring, but we all ended with high spirits, and it was really a testimony of God's grace, as well as His heart! =)
