a new season

so... who's tuned in for the new raptors season???? I AM!!!

lots of new faces, new talent, new chemistry....it smells like Christmas to me!! lol a lot more hope than the last three years and a heck of a lot more "players". people who actually know how to play the game of basketball. With Aruajo out, thank God!, and the people who were taking up space at the end of the bench- loren woods, we finally have something to cheer for in the next 3 or so years. Unlike the Leafs, i think the Raptors have more of chance to win a championship team LOL.

yea its basketball season and i was holding it in, even during the preseason, trying to catch on to every single raptors highlights on nba.com or youtube.com lol.

i need to update more don't i? blog stalkers everywhere...hinthint, i'm talking to you lol. thanks to those to keep up with me and like to reflect on their life and how it is treating them. i feel this is a tiny window to my life, but sometimes i do wish it was a little bit bigger and a lot more expressive sometimes, but yeah....

I've read this somewhere:

"No one ever ruined their eyesight by looking at the bright side of life"

and i truly thank God for being there in my life, providing me with food, chinese(but loving as well =P) parents, a roof over my head, a decent job to pay for my tuitions that i actually enjoy working at, and great friends who keep each other on track. Am i happy with my life, for most part yes, but thinking of the future, i need to take my life more serious and make a brilliant effort to get out of the rut i'm in. i have a long way to go, and the roads aren't straight, but with God by my side, anything is possible if you just believe...

Grace, Mercy and Peace. (taken from Experiencing God, my new devo book)
Grace- the unearned gifts the Father bestows on His children.
Mercy- God withholding the punishment we deserve because of our sinfulness
Peace- the state of mind and heart we experience when we are confident of God's grace and mercy towards us.

I feel so bad sometimes when i take advantage of situations where God has given me freedom to do what i always wanted to do and then i forget about Him. Its like letting it slide, and where you shouldn't have, you did. Us humans are forgetful beings.
I need to feel God's grace and mercy within me. I need to stop being forgetful and focus on the things that are needed of me. Not get distracted by things that can pull me down. I need to listen to Him. only then can i ever find peace in my life and with Him.
