How to be a tennis fan (this is actually not about that)
From mirror.co.uk
Tennis season.
I never really got the chance to be big on tennis before my formal tennis training. Now, as I got more and more addicted to Business Insider, I see tennis headlines every day, and read them every day, and click on some slide shows about them every single day.
My tennis training is similar to my training in French. Sporadic, self-motivated and resilient. I think I am made for challenges more than I am made for create a great color palate on my face (or match pieces of clothing).
Seeing the tennis players outdo each other in the US Open 2011 still makes me wonder how in the world will I reach their stage....

God' timing
from foreverchurch.com
God's timing is not the same as ours. In Greek, it is called the Kairos time - the divind time wherein everything falls into place.
I often see man's common struggle is time. Some people think "There's not much time" do to anything or that "time is too slow" for anything to pass.
2 Peter 3:9 shows us how God's timing is different from us. There are moments when a loved one is too slow in getting converted, or that the "one" you're praying for has not arrived yet - and you think you're been praying for it for far too long!
God's timing is there already. In Ecclesiastis and Isaiah, we see this well pointed...

The curse of being good
Recently, my dad and I had a simple conversation on FIBA and the Philippines’ lost chance of making it to the finals because of team Iran. “We didn’t win, Dad,” I muttered as he was saying the game was really good. “Yes, but at least we showed them we can. We almost made it.” Almost.I was astonished at how my dad accepted the defeat as if it was victory. He even continued by saying that we should take pride in being good at basketball despite our height deficiencies. A few months ago, the Azkals made a name by defeating the defending champion, Vietnam, in the Suzuki Cup. People got suddenly interested with the team. They made headlines...

There's no other way
Yesterday, when my colleague experienced the re-baptism of the Holy Spirit during our praise and worship, I suddenly realized one thing – LIFE HAS NO OTHER WAY BUT GOD’S WAY.
I have seen cases like this: One gets “converted” then backslides for a reason or two, then after years of going nowhere and proving nothing to God, the path God has set for them is once again revisited.
This recalls to mind Jonah’s story (found in the Book of Jonah, of course) and how Jonah ran away from God’s assignment only to realize that he can never outrun God. The Book of Jonah reminds us that God is a big god, and His ways are beyond our ways, His thoughts higher...

When God Ran
This song is particularly special for me because it made me realise that no matter what - that despite all our failures - God gives second chances to us. If only we respond the right way, if only we surrender and embrace what He was in store for us, then our lives will never be the same.
Lyrics of When God RanAlmighty God, the great I am Immovable rock, omnipotent, powerful, awesome Lord
Victorious warrior, commanding King of Kings
Mighty conqueror, and the only time
the only time I ever saw Him run
CHORUS:
Was when He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped...
