"Your heart and attitude will determine how fast you go."

Perhaps I was wrong when I thought I understood what the above meant. But now it seems, I'm getting more of it.

I'm amazed. At how God can move in our lives. Not just mine. A couple of days ago I was grinning at the screen before me now when I saw all the outward declarations that people I know made. It encourages me I guess. To see Him move, and to see the people moving in response to Him.

"Open our eyes
To see the things that make Your heart cry
To be the church that You would desire
Your light to be seen"
~ With Everything by Hillsongs

His Purpose. My Generation.

Perhaps it's time I understood that tag line.

Siao Yi, my very awesome seating partner, is talking to me on MSN now.

After reading my previous post. She claimed I was cheem. When asked why? She proceeded to provide evidence.

Quoting this: "On a side note though, I think shoes can kill people if used in a manner fit for assassination. I'm convinced."

She decided it was time to READ BETWEEN THE LINES and could only come to one conclusion:

Xiwen is violent.

Ah. My friends know me so well. NOT.

THIS is what taking Pure Lit does to you.

You know, after Diva la Futbol, and after DSA, I seem to have realised something.

I could totally go on and on how pathetic, miserable, and well, pathetic I feel after Diva la Futbol. Or I could just sit here typing about how much of a mess I made out of DSA trials today. OR I could tell you what an embarrassment I felt like at Arion training today(I didn't understand what was happening more than half the time). Wow. OR OR I could tell you how the coach of VJ told me to make it on my own after hearing I have an l1r5 of 12 points(I honestly don't see the awesome-ness of that. Or at least I'm led to believe that's a terrible score).

In short, I could tell you how demoralised I am.

But then on the train/bus ride from Kovan back home. I thought. I remembered. I was told. Everything that happens is in line with God's plan. Everything has its purpose. I just don't see it at first all the time. And then I thought again. If I didn't have God in my life, I'd probably be hugging some pillow being depressed.

"but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." ~ Isaiah 40:31

Hope does wondrous things. It isn't wishful thinking. It isn't thinking that I'll get 6 A1s for Os without studying. It's different.

On a side note though, I think shoes can kill people if used in a manner fit for assassination. I'm convinced.

I have resolved not to play as keeper ever every again. Except for maybe if I get to play for/with Arion on the 21st. But then that's it. I've had it.

I tell you, being a keeper sucks. I hate the feeling of letting in a goal. Hate it. You feel like if you had stretched a lil' more, you'd have stopped that shot.

Penalties, are by FAR worse. Just you, and that player. It SUCKS. But hey, even if you let the ball go in, you still can't be as bad as me. I let in the last penalty in sudden death, AND I kicked the ball awfully wide to the left and well, there you go. We lost.

Never again will I subject myself to such unneccessary stress like that again. Never.
