I Can Set!!

Praise the Lord! I gave Him my weakness in sports skills and in return He gave me the persistence to practice and after hours of practice at home with a volleyball I bought last week, I have learnt how to set a ball!! As I was practicing, I kept telling myself that God will and can do exceedingly, abundantly and above all that I ask or think. instead of getting frustrated at my lack of skill, I kept thanking Him for giving me a body that can move to set a ball. I kept telling myself that His grace is
More than sufficient for my needs! Now I'm addicted to setting and can't stop because it's so fun!! God is certainly so good!

It is not how long you live but how you live

I join the millions of fans who are mourning the death of Whitney Houston. A strange ache remains in my heart long after the tears I shed for her untimely departure. I ask myself what am I living for if I know I have up to a certain time on earth? Everyday we face physical, emotional, finAncual and psychological challenges and even struggles. But at the end of the day, do our failures or success matter? I honestly don't know. But I do know each of us is unique n given the gift of life. We have a choice how to live it but we don't have a choice how long. So I want to choose to love, laugh, help, give, listen, care, share and touch. These are within my power. To be happy, to be positive, to be forgiving, to be kind and to be caring. Reaching the stadium now to spend some time to keep this body fit so that I'd enjoy better sleep and less time at the clinic and hospital.

What I have learnt about love after 47 years..

That it is more than just physical attraction. Yes, usually it is because our eyes respond first before our other senses. But for me, I fell in love with the personality first, followed by the voice and then the sight and finally the touch and the scent. After that, even when age and environment changed the physical aspect, I realized that it did not affect my feelings at all. In fact, I grew even more deeply in love with his aura, his smile, his touch, his scent and his voice. How incredible that even after 7 years, I still feel so excited to see him and my skin trembles at his touch. I miss him even more after each time we meet because the memories are still so fresh. I read somewhere that if you still miss the person immediately after being with them for hours, then it is definitely more than just lust. Often the feeling fades away a bit when I start getting caught up with my work and sports, but like the song by Celine Dion goes -'when you touch me like this...it's all coming back to me' - the feeling returns strongly as ever when we meet again. How is it that I don't ever tire of his touch and companyv it amazes me because in my lifetime I have never met anyone who have loved another that deeply for that long. Relationships are like a flash in the pan and frankly I never expected mine to last long either. But now as I think of him, I feel my heart beating so fast and it's yearning so much for him!
