Premeditation

I beat my marker with a crossover, with another player charging towards me i passed the ball to my teammate who made a free basket. 1 point scored.

It was a beautiful moment. But it was quickly being overshadowed by me calling out "foul". Everyone on court including myself am puzzled. Because no one touched me. So who "foul" me?

My mind.

Before I beat my first marker with the crossover, I've already premeditated that I would draw another player towards me and I was expecting him to foul me before I make the shot.

So instinctively even without any body contact from anyone, my mind played out the foul.

Of course I became the joke of the game.

In life, premeditation is common in everyday life as well. Before we approach any situation, we will always have certain expectation and even if things turned out differently. This premeditation will act out exactly what we expect.

Question: What if we change our premeditation thoughts?

With this new perspective how different would things be?

To Live. To Love. To Inspire.

Was talking to Leon on the way home and he was sharing with me his recent revelation. He was very touched by Pst Kong's Songs Of Solomon and he believes we all need to go through a breaking process to shine for God.

His illustration:
"A diamond is merely a piece of rock left untouched. Only going through different cuts of the surface can it reflect of the light to show its brilliancy. Same to us as Christians. Without going through brokeness we are just raw stone. But when we go through the brokeness process, we are able to reflect the light of God. "

Wow!

And I was talking to Heidi on msn the other day.

Her pledge:
"One day the i.Hearters will all rise up as Cell Group Leaders in your zone!"

Wow again!

Did I mention both Leon and Heidi are 16 years old?

i.Heart ROCKS!

Heart

"What make us human being? It is not something we can put in a chip, it is the strength of a human's heart."

I was captivated by this sentence Christian Bale said in Terminator Salvation.

To him that is the difference between humans and machines. Humans have a heart, we do not make cold, calculated decisions. But we add our heart into our thinking.

Instead of just thinking from a sound mind, try thinking from a sound heart.

"Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life."
Proverbs 4:23 (New Living Translation)

Can your heart bring you anywhere?

Oh yeah it can.

A Special Moment from the Celebrity Weekend

This is a special moment of the entire weekend. No matter what we do.. at the end.. it is still God.

6 Hours 44 Minutes 21 Seconds

The time I took to run the Adidas Sundown Marathon 2009.

The whole race was tough and painful. Nevertheless it anchored a deep thought once again within me.

I told a friend before the race that I never train for it.

He said, "Just move those legs, swing those arms, and remember to smile. Because you'll never know when a photographer is around to snap your face. Don't wanna end up with grumpy running pics."

I made it, I did it with a smile on my face (at least throughout most of the 42km).

Now I am heading back to another Marathon. It is call LIFE.

It is a Marathon that I did not train for.

But..

I am just gonna move these legs, swing these arms and remember to smile. Because I'll never know when God is gonna show up to give me my breakthrough in life. Don't wanna end up with grumpy life story.
