REJOICE











We didn't win the inter-school games this year.

But hey, nothing could stop us from celebrating.

Today after chapel, all of us were treated to lunch and ice-cream.

We reminded ourselves that even though we lost - actually we were second runners among the grand total of four teams - our joy in Christ, and our oneness in the spirit remain intact.

And there's much to rejoice for.

We were one.

We fought for the same goal.

We wanted the same thing.

Many people in this world don't have this unity and blessing.

And besides, there's still next year.

Hallelujah.






About Me

In the Old Testament in the Bible, there was a man named Jacob who "wrestled with God and man." He wouldn't let God go until God answered his prayers. God admired that and renamed him Israel, "the one who fought or wrestled and prevailed". He fought with man--his inner man--and conquered his own weaknesses. He's my hero. He is what I hope God and man see me to be.
