This post is dedicated to Anil
For inspiring me with your attitude, your plans and your life.

What a fulfilling Sunday. Went for prayer at 10:30am. Then had a AMAZING worship led by Shaoxiong... God's really using him to lead the church into higher worship. Felt that he stepped out in faith today to bring us up. Praise God he took that step. Our church is rising... I can feel it. Product of prayer, ladies and gentlemen. Now we need to rally more prayer warriors.

Played soccer at Serangoon Secondary School today. Watched the first half of the match. Amazing how the team I was playing for (bandung united), managed to equalise twice after conceding. Showed strength and determination. Their midfield also impressed me. Halftime came and the score was 2-2. I met Christine at halftime cos she was just living at the condo opposite the field and she came down for a walk.

Got subbed in at half time into a leftback role. Decided to make a early run upfield and received a late late tackle after I passed the ball to a teammate. My teammate lost the ball and from the attack that resulted, we conceded a goal. Had some difficulty in left back. Wrong side and wrong position. I prefer playing on the right of midfield. One of the players (69) swapped with me after awhile asking me to play left midfield. I was surprised at how easy it was to skip past the defence. Although they were agressive, I managed to get 2 shots in. Both were too weak though. A square ball to my striker also didn't result in anything. We managed to pull back to 3-3.

The highlight of the match was the fight that took place. One of my teammates got kicked twice by 2 of the opponents. Cheap shots cos the first one was from behind and the 2nd one was while he was on the ground. Finally got all the players to calm down before resuming the game. I'm glad I got to play today.

Went to the airport in the evening. See Gloria back from Thailand. Its good to see her again but its kinda obvious that she misses ChiangMai. Praying for God to refine that passion. Heard some bad news from a friend from the mission trip boot camp. One of my team members, he was from YWAM, passed away 2 weeks ago.

Lord... I pray for the questions to be answered. Don't leave them guessing. Especially if it concerns their faith. Lord, help them to understand. In your precious name, Jesus, Amen.
