6-3 was the score. And losers we were! Lol.
Nola, we lost but. We aint losers. We played the GLCC, uh, young adults "rojak" team? Not an excuse for the defeat, but halfway thru the match I was convinced that it didnt matter whether we won or lost cos it was clearly an unfair disadvantage we have. But nonetheless, we played okay, considering it rained. The three who got cramps in the second half of the game were me beng and darren. Embarassing, but a nicer way to put it was that we had more muscles? Lol. Anyway yes, I would say I enjoyed the match? Though the consequences would be that I got a swell on my shin and muscle aches everywhere. But I wouldnt mind it again.
Youth meeting was quite nice, even though we got caught in the rain before that. But what daniel shared struck me because it kinda put to words my thoughts recently. Like the real battle really comes when you walk the lonely dusty road, as in when we get back to school into the world. Hmm, is our faith gonna be real and living? Are we gonna practice all that we have been convicted about? And yes, back to the byways of life to "send the light, the blessed gospel light".
I was just sharing with my sunday school class about what God has taught me about relationships this holidays. Well, to put it simply relationships are all about love for one another. Be it family, friends, loved ones. So there can be two ways to view relationships. One from the world. The other from God's perspective. I think the former has been my way of seeing things. The former is selfish and never fails to make me discourage and disappointed. I've concluded that the former leads to an empty life not one God intends His children to be in. Then there is th selfless love that God talks about in the Bible. The type of love that Christ demstrated in that while we were sinners Christ died for us. The type of love that would lay down his life for his friends. the type of love that needs no reciprocate for whatever thats done. Love that is patient, kind, gentle, not selfseeking not jealous. An a truth dear to me is that every single relationship we have around us is an opportuinity for us to model Christ's love and show it to people. That God may sanctify me, so that my view of things may be from His word and not from the world.
Yannhowe added something else which I agree with. Until someone is fully satisfied to have Christ. I don't think relationships can be put into perspective. For eg, Christ said whoever does not hate his father or mother, brother or sister cannot be Christ's disciple. It means whoever love not Christ more than the rest of his relationships is not worthy of Him.
Ahh, you know what? I'm beginning to think I'm so lousy at relationships.
I dunno why but I think this verse encouraged me alot before and it does now. It is contentment to know Christ is enough, really.
Psalms 146:3,5 , "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sons of man in whom there is no help. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God.
I have to run. Mugging's my priority this week. So much to study. Ah!

yeah man i agree with you, in the end our relationship with Christ should be on the top of our priority list and not our relationship with other people.

it's interesting how sometimes we always let our fleshly lust take control and we lose sight of doing things in love - that is selfless. and instead acting very selfish in our own pursuit for our happiness, not once regarding the feelings of the other people involved nor at all caring about whether we are acting in a manner that pleases God.
it's something i've been thinking alot about these past 2 weeks man. haha, interesting that we both blogged about it on the same night ! :P
well, will be praying for you jemtay, do pray for me too ! (:
may we focus on the Lord and in serving Him rather than to focus and serve ourselves.
