Run To Win

    ..It’s Monday..but today weren’t tht bad after all. Woke up..did my morning ritual, read a chapter from a book, watched Oprah Winfrey 20th Season..and still kinda like wanting to watch some movies so..dugged out some old movies n trying to find some interesting ones..I was thinking of something light & ez..nt much of a killin, and action packed ones.. so i found "A WALK TO REMEMBER"

Jamie Sullivan is a jewel of a girl. Kind, compassionate and meek, yet witty, strong and resolved. But that’s not all. Jamie is a Christian. Sure, she’s the daughter of a Baptist minister, but that’s not what defines her faith. She has her own relationship with God; she’s not merely the product of her environment.

Landon Carter, meanwhile, is a wretch of a boy. Sullen. Directionless. Unruly. He doesn’t know it yet, but there’s a spark inside of him that is about to be fanned into flame. Jamie is the one who blows on that spark, but it’s his own journey of faith that ignites it.

A Walk to Remember is just what its title implies. Pop star Mandy Moore infuses youthful passion into her heart-wrenching portrayal of Jamie. Shane West (who plays Eli on TV’s Once and Again) nurtures a rare subtlety and depth as he fleshes out "bad boy" Landon. Together they navigate a winding road full of plot twists you would never forgive me for exposing here. This much I will reveal: Do prepare some tissue by yr side.

If you were one of the billion people who watched Sunday’s World Cup final, you saw French superstar Zinedine Zidane struck by an affliction to which no human can claim immunity:  ANGER. Many soccer experts, aficionados, and critics agree that Zidane is soccer’s greatest player of the last 20 years. Pele, the Brazilian legend, refers to Zidane as Maestro. Zidane’s proven skill and leadership already lifted France to the 1998 World Cup championship. But in Sunday’s final with the whole world watching and for a reason nobody understands, the French legend angrily headbutted an Italian player in the chest leading to Zidane’s subsequent red card and ejection. France went on to lose in a penalty kick shootout… Zidane’s specialty.

This is a lesson the yogis have passed down for thousands of years. No matter their talent, strength, or determination, every single human being is susceptible to anger, lust, and greed. To live out the depth of one’s purpose, he must develop the skills to overcome this three-headed monster. Zidane faced the monster and sorely lacked what the The Dalai Lama referred to as the rarest form of human strength: the ability to maintain an open heart in a moment of extreme anger.

..So Folkz..Is easier to let out your anger than to control it. But It’s satisfying if ure able to learn how to control it..the good news im starting to be able to control it..and it’s getting better n better !lolz

Left Behind Games today announced that it will be publishing a real-time strategy PC game based on the Left Behind novels. Left Behind: Eternal Forces is appropriately scheduled for release "between Christmas 2005 and Easter 2006." Left Behind Games was established in 2001, and it aims to bring morally just and family-friendly games to the masses.

The game is set after the Rapture has taken the faithful up to heaven. Satan’s forces are slowly taking over the world, slowly bending countries to their will. As part of the rebel Tribulation Forces, gamers will fight in apocalyptic battles in New York City.

This couple of weeks or i should said months had been sort of like a season of reflection for me..As in I began to questioned many things regarding,people,church,life,and one of it is of coz about Boy-gal relationship.

I had come to believe that the lifestyle of short-term relationships was a detour from my ministries..anything..life,studies,music,church..and God of coz.This new paradigm was anything but CHARACTERISTIC of me.

For me rejecting the dating game was seismic shift.This change of perspective began after I broke up with a girl I’d been going out with for  a period of time and it ended..( i knw most of u wouldnt knew bout this…yea..and so it started on someday n ended on someday..hehe) but it was way back ! Our relationship was an area of my life that i had refused to submit to God. When it ended, He began to show me juz how selfish i was. After it ended, He began to show me just how selfish i was. I’d used her to satisfy my own sinful desires. (Not tht i knew this when we broke up..but after everything settled down..as in Now, no school,lotsa time..is when i began to realised it)

For the first time, i really began to question how my faith as a Christian affected my love life.There had to be more to it than "dont have sex" and "only date christian" …….. What did it mean to truly love a girl? ( Maybe some of u wondered did i go out with any girls after the breaking up?)..well i did..few of them..but some are of coz mere good friends..awesome girl-friends of mine. I truly believed now HE had mapped a course for me that was more wonderful than anything i could come up with on my own.

O yea btw..the reason my previous relationship ended coz Ms. Anonymous left me for another guy…damn…I was so bitter back den..But i knew Gos was behind it all. He was the one who had closed the foor on a relationship and He’d done for my own good. NOW im really overwhelmed by the thought that the God of the universe was willin to be involved in the details of my life - that He’d be willin to reach down abd shut a door that He didnt want me to walk through.

So i guess this season is basically a turning point for me. I stopped trusting in my own carefully laid plans and asked God to show me His.

I shall call this Leo’s Love Life -Part (1) 

…stay tuned for part (2)-is about someone special I knew for quite some time but something is stirring my feelings towards her recently and drove me to pray for her daily..I do believe is part of His plans..but im nt very sure of it yet..So stay tuned ..

peace out..
