a few updates ;)

1. i'm starting to love the game of basketball and starting to get it (finally.). haha. the company on court helps too...esp that goose! she never fails to laugh and giggle at the mistakes i make and probably still make. i love the way sports draws people together. the fellowship that starts. the new people that we meet each time we play. sometimes they may not be the people that i would PREFER to play with. For example, i almost went crazy with a bunch of sec sch guys who used vulgarities like running water. one of them bounced my ball in between his legs etc. yah, these are the things that would make me arrggghhh. after that game, i asked myself if i would react in the same way at a church-planned sports event. The answer to myself is,"No, I shouldn't. And I don't want to" Not just win the game but win people to Christ. I am bound to feel something if someone's action is not justifiable and i have to learn to channel these feelings to the right channels. I may not learn it quick but I'll try hard. When we are faithless, God is still faithful. Reality check;) for a captain.

2. with struggles, one can grow and gain perspective abt living a life that glorifies. character matters; who you are when no one's looking.

3. love always protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres. learning to to love them all the same

4. i'm starting work next tuesday. it'll be a good learning experience for me. when God opens a door, walk thru it. i had a gd conversation on how being back in sch is still the best. how being at this age, we just really miss those days. when there's lesser things to worry abt. at work...there's expectations. expectations that are sometimes unspoken. sch, things were much more simpler. i'm really looking fwd to sch in Aug (if the letter's gonna come,haha). it feels kind of weird being 20. wanting to break free and be independent. but just can't ;)







i'll wait.

everything else fades away...when u focus on Jesus.
