Playing for you

Undeniable, it's Your blessing

Indubitably, it's Your glory

For the first time I realized that the process of a competition matter more than the final outcome, especially when you know that, every shots was a blessing and it's far more than your ability. Thank you Lord for the wonderful performance I have done. All glory should goes to you.

It made me wonder before, how could Jeremy Lin relates sports to God. Both hardly link together, you know. BUT today, I experienced it myself. Somehow, you just don't know why you can hit certain ball. Amazing things just happened when the more we trust on Him. I declared to God that, every shots that I'm going to play today is out of His blessing. Indeed, it just happened. =)

Instead of sinking in the mood of losing a game, I am overjoy with the great partnership with God. Hallelujah...

7 Ways To Peace

from Promises For Your Everyday Life by Joyce Meyer

In the midst of preparing for sport meet, I admit that I enjoy a lot but at the same time, it brings me anxieties. Every time I reached back home I'll be weary and tired, and sleeping comes next. Sometimes I wonder if I am even a medic student. I don't seem like putting studies as my priority as a student.
When I turn back to God, I realized I have forgotten Him who always unfailingly aid me from side. While doing my devotion, this is what He spoke to me...

1. Be selective with how you spend your time
You may be trying to do too many things and end up doing none of them well. Hurrying is the flesh, trying is to do more than the Holy Spirit is leading you to do. Be led by the Spirit.

2. Be prepared to say "no" nicely
Sometimes we take on things we shouldnt because we are uncomfortable saying no. Ask God to give you the words to say no when you need to.

3. Resist the spirit of procrastination
God's word tells us to exercise self-discipline. Do what you know you need to do now so you can fully enjoy your time to rest.

4. Eliminate key distractions
If you know you are prone to certain distractions, get guidelines for yourself.

5. Set appropriate boundaries for interruptions
Life is full of interruptions, but you can learn to set boundaries that help you manage them in healthy ways, such as scheduling times when you are "off limits". Schedule time to give yourself break.

6. Modify your life
Ask God to show you out-if-the-box ways to save time and troubles

7. Pray and listen
If you can see that your plan is not producing peace, go back to God, pray for peace in the now, and for the wisdom to make changes that will benefit  your life.

Amen!

Thank you Lord for reminding me all these.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Philipians 4:7

诉说那一夜

微光打照的路街
进入梦境的城市
一个凄凉的夜晚
配上寒冷的晚风
是谁在此景漫步


一步一步地漫游
一口一口地呼吸
时间也跟着放慢
紧凑的行程松开
谁憋了你的氧气


望着漆黑的天空
夜里寻不见月亮
星星变成了孤军
独自管辖着天空
是谁让你孤单了


路过一间间琴房
看见一台台钢琴
手指不禁跳起舞
妄想哪天我演奏
谁了解我的悲曲


空白留下的疑问
一个个都猜不透
思绪混乱如杂根
狂风也无法带走
谁扰乱我的平静


寒冷清新的夜晚
悲伤寂寞的夜空
百般不解的烦乱
随夜渐渐的淡化
谁说夜晚很一般

Fate?

Because my friend couldn't reach me through phone hours ago, I missed out the great opportunity to get selected for Chengdu Badminton Competition, and two girls from my university got selected. What about me and what IF I play better? Alright, my heart still aches.

I had been looking forward such kind of competition ever since my friend mentioned it to me. Other than the fun in participating in the competition, you also get a chance to fight for a sponsorship for your studies. Why not?

The late night news I received completely sink me to the bottom of my emotion. It's another year that I have to wait for...one year, 365 days, 8760 hours, 525600 minutes and 31536000 seconds. Bloody hell! How long shall I wait?

I know I still have 5 years here. I know there are still chances out there but I just couldn't help with this disappointment. So, what's it all about if I won the university sport meet badminton competition but didn't even get to step in for the Chengdu competition? I rather they killed me badly in the coming match. At least that will comfort my unbalance heart.

How long will it take for me to move out of this downcast?

Immature

Always thought I was mature enough but I wasn't. 

Always thought I was wise enough to advice but I fall instead.

Always thought ...

How many self assumptions had I made about myself without further investigation?

How many times I overlook myself?

How many times...

I really regretted for the reaction I took on the spur of the moment which is completely controlled by my emotion. Tears rolled out with my fist tighten, leaving my anger exploded out. Luckily, you stepped back and let me win this time. Or else I wonder, how long will our silent war last?

You aren't to be blamed. It's me who lost the control. Thought I was able to lock it inside but I failed. What difference does it makes between you and me then?

It's sarcastic to know the one who's lecturing ended up too theoretical but not practical enough. Still have to wait for the other party to call for peace. What a shame! I doubt if I ever have the right to advice.

I started realize the importance of endurance.
Why not make things easier? :)

Sports lover's life

My life changes every since the "Sport Day" reached into my ears and interpreted by my brain, my life become so....

Morning & afternoon lectures

Minimum 2 hours of badminton
can go to 3 hrs sometimes

Playing volleyball under the scorching hot sun...
going to become tanned in days...=) 

Right after I reached back n showered,
I'll collapse

Volleyball

As always, sports make my day. I sometimes wonder if I had registered into the wrong course since I show so much enthusiasm in sports, but sports can never be a career I will devoted in, it can only be a hobby to keep.

Today, I signed up for volleyball. Never in my life have I really play any sport without using a racquet. Anyway, volleyball ain't all that hard to play. All you need is a whole team of six people who can work out together with teamwork, but might need to suffer from same hand pain. Not exactly some because it's really painful. I even found bruises on my hand after I bathed.

We probably have to play frequently this week as the competition might fall on next week. What a funny timing. But I am still more than wiling to get involved. Hopefully, I will be selected. =)
