Inspired by 1 peter 3:15, which urges us to 

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. 

So here i am, i am going to challenge you! yes you reading my post. If you have an online journal, post about YOUR reason for the hope that YOU HAVE. Otherwise, please leave a tag to tell me about it. I'm really very interested to know...seriously!

Tell me, what your convictions are and why are you so sure of Jesus?

K this is long overdue because i just was too lazy to come online, what more with my com crashing and stuff..

but while on the mrt today, this thought suddenly popped into my mind again..and i was tinking that i shld blog abt it soon, as i promised xiang that i would..so here it is..

why am i so sure of jesus? hmmm..i tot of giving a very theoretical answer with point 1, 1A, 1Aa but i decided, NAH..this kind of thing shld come from the heart, and not the head rite?

the reason why i love jesus, is really simply because he loves me too..i mean, have you ever really experience the feeling of knowing jesus? not saying that my relationship with him is really deep, but, with my level of deepness (which i do consider still quite shallow), i have already got to taste how good jesus really is! can u imagine, if my relationship with jesus deepens? how much more will i be able to know him..

no other god gives me peace and security like my jesus..no other god says "I love you" straight to my heart every hour of every day..no other god promises that he will be there with me always, to the very end of the age..no other god promises that he will give me endless joy, boundless encouragement, a shoulder to cry on, unlimited encouragement and actually does fulfill his promise! 

which other god promises you that if you stick with him and follow his ways, he will definitely bring you to heaven? which god has ever died for you, knowing that there might be a chance that you might not even want to know him? 

there is no other god, that takes my hand everyday and open up my eyes to the different aspects of the world just so to teach me how to be a human? opportunities i never spotted, chances i would have never taken, lessons i would not learn if he did not show me how interesting life can be rather than just sleep, work, eat, play, grow up, make money and then die..

i can never see how someone whom has really known jesus, can say that he/she has never experienced all that i have, and hence leave him.

it is quite impossible.

champions! twice

pardon my excitement, but I am still whirling from the fact that my team won the premier league AND added the champions league trophy to their collection just last week..

the moscow game was THE most nerve wrecking, heart pumping, sweat inducing game i have ever watched..after prying my eyes open to see that 51 minute had already passed, i started lamenting at how stupid i was to miss ronaldo's glorious header in the 26th minute..the only tot that came to my mind, "that will shut his critics up!"

2nd half wasnt any better! tho they were no goals, but my boys looked like they were confused and being totally dominated by chelsea..however, it was only till later when i found the perfect word to describe man u - Opportunists.

why waste energy when all you gotta do, is wait for your enemy to make a mistake and get that goal?

it was such a letdown that we made it till penalty shootouts..this is probably the worst method to decide a winner..and when ronaldo missed that 3rd shot, i swore, my heart stopped for maybe 3 secs..i kept praying for van dar sar to save ashley cole's shot, but it didnt happened..i prayed for hargreaves to score, and he did..and when i saw terry walked up with great cockiness to the penalty area, i had this moment of despair "We are going to lose!"..but i couldnt! i couldnt watch them lose!!

suddenly, i saw the hope that prayer can bring..all i could do, while sitting on my bed and clutching torchie really hard, was to pray..and pray i did..i guess God heard almost 10 000 of the exact same prayer at that very moment "let terry miss! let van dar sar save it! please please!!"

the moment of truth, terry looked, he ran, and he SLIPPED!

OH MY GOD!

the sense of relief was imminent! i felt my lungs take in fresh cool air, my heart starting pumping again..my fingers and toes got warmer, and i could feel my stomach finally releasing its acid to digest my dinner..i wanted to scream with joy..at that point, i knew it, we are going to win..

and win we did!!

lesson to learn from man u: even at the dying point, never lose faith.
