Bringing out the life & light in us

I found this verse 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 extremely powerful..

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body."

Sometimes, we are held down by our difficult circumstances, and finding hard to overcome them. But the word of God encourages us to bring out the "treasure" which is the life of Jesus and use it to overcome the obstacles in my lives! Praise the Lord!

Disaster soocer season

Three of my favourite teams, Liverpool FC, Holland national soccer team and my beloved Singapore Lions team all fail in a forgetable season this year! Starting with Liverpool FC, it started brightly with torres scoring freely and the team on the roll, suddenly it keep losing points and in the end, it lost to my most-hated team ManU in the Premier League. Then in Champions League, it lost to Chelsea.. all thanks to Riise own goal.. (sell him!) and Liverpool bow out of CL semi-final. Sob..

Second disppointment in Asian World Cup Qualifying, I was rooting for an upset for Singapore to qualify for final round. Instead, Singapore was embarrassed at home 3-7 to uzbekistan and 2-0 to saudi arabia. So much for the foreign talent scheme.. Sob.. But still, I am always their die-hard Lion Fan since 1992.

Last but not least, my beloved Oranje, Dutch soccer team. They bulldozed their way with 3 amazing wins in group stage, then suddenly it punctured and lost to Russia, coached by former Dutch coach, Hiddink. Traitor! Heart pain again..

This is really a miserable soccer season for me.. Anyway, look forward to new season.. The Bible says Hope does not disappoint.. Keep hoping and believing some day they will win something! Woo..
